Boris Becker Joins Netflix's 'Celebrity Bear Hunt' in Costa Rican Wilderness

The former tennis star compares his reality TV experience to his past struggles, including surviving prison, as the series premieres February 5.

Boris Becker, alongside 11 other celebrities, participates in Netflix's 'Celebrity Bear Hunt,' where contestants are pursued by survivalist Bear Grylls in Costa Rica's jungle.
Becker likens the challenges of the show to overcoming personal hardships, referencing his 2022 prison sentence for concealing assets during bankruptcy proceedings.
The three-time Wimbledon champion was released early from his 2.5-year sentence after serving over seven months under a special provision.
The series, hosted by Bear Grylls and Holly Willoughby, features high-stakes elimination as contestants risk being 'caught' and removed from the competition.
Becker, who has appeared in other entertainment formats, continues his work as a tennis analyst, recently covering the Australian Open for Eurosport.
