Michael Bublé Was Almost Attacked by a Polar Bear While Drunk on the Beach

Michael Bublé had a very Canadian near death experience. The “Haven’t Met You Yet” singer was a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday (Jan. 16), where he shared a story in which he almost came face to face with “aggressive” polar bears in Manitoba, Canada, after attending a film wrap party with actor Berry Pepper.

“I think, in the moment, we’re like, ‘You know what we should do? We should like race down the beach,’” Bublé recalled, noting that the duo were a bit tipsy at this point. “And so me and him and another guy came running down this beach, and a guy that lived there just started swearing.” See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news He continued that the man was “literally swearing at us and just screaming — I mean screaming bloody murder.” Turns out, the man was warning them about polar bears living on the beach.

“We didn’t realize, we were running to our certain death,” he said. “Because there were polar bears all down the beach. And yes, they’re the most aggressive — but God they’re so cuddly.” He concluded with a laugh, “Sometimes I wonder about that, how close I was to being like a little polar bear lunch.” Thankfully, Bublé survived the situation.

The singer has notched eleven hits on the Hot 100, and his 2011 album Christmas recently returned to No. 1 in the UK (and finished at No. 58 on the Canadian year end album chart ). Watch Bublé recount the full story below..
