Celebrities vs Ice Baths: 5 Famous Faces, Freezing Water & Priceless Reactions

They can perform in front of thousands, take on Hollywood villains and entertain millions.

But put them in a tub of freezing water?

Suddenly, everybody’s human.

From comedians losing control of their own interviews to actors discovering just how cold an ice bath can be, here are five celebrity moments worth watching.

1. Kevin Hart — Cold as Balls. Literally.

Kevin Hart has interviewed some of the biggest names in sport. But forget the comfortable studio chairs and fancy interview sets.

His show Cold as Balls puts him and his celebrity guests into ice baths while they talk.

The result? Plenty of laughter, uncomfortable moments and the occasional attempt to escape the cold.

Who knew freezing water could make such good television?

2. Tom Holland — Spider-Man Meets His Coldest Challenge

He’s swung between skyscrapers and battled supervillains.

But in a 2025 Men’s Health video, Tom Holland faced a considerably wetter challenge.

The actor answered fitness questions while gradually sinking deeper into an ice bath, eventually emerging with a completely soaked T-shirt.

The internet had plenty to say about that particular Spider-Man appearance.

With great power comes great responsibility. And apparently, very cold water.

3. Louis Theroux — I Gotta Get Theroux This

Documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux has interviewed some of the world’s most unusual personalities.

But fitness personality Joe Wicks had a different challenge in mind.

An ice bath in his garden.

Louis took on the cold for a minute while Joe coached him through the experience.

Naturally, the moment became an entertaining social media video.

Sometimes the interviewer becomes the story.

4. Nikki & Brie Bella — Wrestling With the Cold

Professional wrestling stars Nikki and Brie Bella know how to handle themselves in the ring.

So when they appeared on Kevin Hart’s Cold as Balls, they weren’t about to let the comedian have all the fun.

The sisters joined him in the ice tubs, shared stories from their wrestling careers and even teamed up to lift Kevin toward the cold water.

Two wrestling champions. One comedian. Several tubs of ice.

We know who we’d put our money on.

5. Chris Hemsworth — Thor’s Three-Minute Ice Bath

Chris Hemsworth has faced plenty of challenges playing Thor.

But in a video promoting his Limitless series, the actor stripped off his shirt and stepped into an ice bath for a three-minute challenge.

With his trainer keeping time, Hemsworth showed fans a different side of superhero training.

No hammer. No lightning.

Just Chris, a tub of ice and a countdown clock.
