Okay, not THAT plunge. But Brantley Gilbert DID recently take a plunge into the frigid Cumberland River in downtown Nashville-- after his friends called him out for not taking part in a Polar Plunge Challenge.

According to The Country Vibe, "Rusty and Seth, two of Brantley's friends from back home challenged him and his brother to a polar plunge, where they had to jump into a freezing cold body of water. Brantley’s brother completed the challenge and he almost got out of it, but his friends taunted him through videos, basically calling him out for being too chicken to take the challenge.

So Brantley did what any guy whose integrity had been challenged would do, he marched down to the frigid river and did a back flip into the water.  The high temperature on Monday, when he took the plunge, was in the mid-40’s, which would explain his profanity and look of shock when he emerged from the water."
