Bear Grylls, the adventurer and TV host known for “Man vs. Wild,” has spoken out about Russell Brand‘s rape and sexual assault conviction after he helped to baptize him in 2024.

Brand was found guilty on Thursday of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault in his highly publicized London criminal trial. He was acquitted of two other rape charges and one count of attempted indecent assault. Brand pleaded not guilty and has denied all allegations. After the ruling, Brand was taken into police custody to await his sentencing on Monday.
