Chris Pontius says he’s become intimate and personal with the Silverback gorilla before…and if he’s a Bettin guy, he’s spending money on one gorilla to defeat 100 guys.
We caught up with the “Jackass” star on Tuesday afternoon…and we asked him the internet-consuming question now – can 100 men defeat the gorillas grown up in combat…
Pontius says that he and Steve Oh entered the Rwandan jungle for their show “Wild Bose” … and they were able to observe a group of wild gorillas in the near quarter – and he thinks one gorilla can beat a group of 100.
According to the CP, the gorillas are too big and too fast, and are scary for men to handle. Of the 100 men, they say they will stomp and die if they try to escape from the beast.
Chris also talks about his trip to see the gorillas in more detail… including the horrifying moments when the baby gorillas began to approach them – and they knew they were in danger.
Pontius even says they were indicted by Silverback… but thankfully it turned out to be a “mock fee” – yet a horrifying memory for him.

He’s not the only celebrities caught up in this debate. By the way… we asked Rick Ross too – although he had a very different answer to Pontius. Listen for yourself – Rick says he knows 100 guys who can handle it.
Pontius is not one of those 100…” Because he has no intention of putting himself in that line.
