BEAR Grylls’ strapping son proved that he is no nepo baby as his dad revealed his very normal job.
Proud papa Bear, 50, shared that his son is travelling the world and had worked hard to fund his trip.

The celebrity adventurer has three sons – Jesse, 21, Marmaduke, 18, and Huckleberry, 15 – who he shares with wife Shara.
It’s their middle child Marmaduke who has flown the nest and has been travelling the world.
But to fund his trip, and rather than asking his famous father for the cash, he took a job in a butcher’s shop to pay for his travels.
His mum and dad flew out to Australia to visit him before he headed off to his next exotic location.
Sharing the moment on Instagram, Bear posted a slew of pictures of himself and Marmaduke with wife Shara.
In the sweet snaps the TV star’s son can be seen towering over his dad.
The proud father then wrote next to the snaps: “So sad but also happy for Marmaduke – saying goodbye to him here in Australia as he heads to Asia for 4 months.
“He’s worked hard in a butchers in London, earned his way and is now going off for his own adventure… have fun, stay safe, come home soon. We miss you…”
Bear is returning to TV this week with Celebrity Bear Hunt..
The programme sees 12 celebrities dropped into the Costa Rican jungle, where they must fend for themselves and avoid capture by super-skilled Bear.
Boris Becker was forced to withdraw on medical grounds, while Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen feared he was having a heart attack
Conditions are so savage Netflix bosses had a team of survival experts and ambulances on standby, plus anti-venom injections in case contestants were attacked by poisonous snakes.
Stars including Mel B, Danny Cipriani and Big Zuu join Laurence and troubled tennis legend Boris, who was hoping to reignite his career following a stint behind bars for bankruptcy offences.
Speaking before joining the show, which is also hosted by Holly Willoughby, Boris said: “I survived prison.

“I wanna compare that to the wild.
“It is about overcoming and not falling down.”
But his time on the show was cut short when he picked up an injury on the first day.
Executive producer Ben Mitchell revealed: “Boris, after years of playing tennis, as you’d expect, he’s kind of ravaged by injury, so his mobility was impaired.

“He jarred his knee and we didn’t want him to risk causing any kind of further damage so he was shipped out, which was a real shame.”
Contestants who have slummed it on I’m A Celebrity will also be jealous when they see the Bear Hunt camp, where the stars stars.
Forget hammocks and meals of rice and bean, these celebs are treated to a fully stocked kitchen, booze, a yoga room, real beds, luxury showers and a proper loo.
A show insider told The Sun: “The camp is what you’d expect if a celebrity went glamping.
“There were all the creature comforts – even a secret smoking area round the back where all the real gossiping took place away from the cameras.”
Celebrity Bear Camp drops on Netflix at 8am on Wednesday.
