Michelle Rodriguez is best known for her action roles in movies such as the Fast And Furious series.

And on an upcoming episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls the 37-year-old will show off her superstar skills in real life.

New pictures released from the second season's fifth episode - set to air August 10 - show the actress scaling a mountain in the desert as she laughs alongside series host Bear, 41.

Enjoying herself: Michelle Rodriguez seemed to be in good spirits as she scaled a mountain for an upcoming episode of NBC's Running Wild with Bear Grylls

Michelle has admitted that she is much happier casually dressed than in a red carpet gown, so there's no doubt she would have felt relaxed while kitted out in hiking gear.

The actress wore a long-sleeved white T-shirt and black and grey leggings for one portion of their adventure, and in another she made her way down a steep rock while clad in a black fleece and boots and white jeans.

Michelle ditched the make-up and was suited up with a large backpack and a baseball cap.

Ready to go: The pair looked prepared with large backpacks, and a bundle of rope Bear had slung around his shoulders

The Resident Evil actress also shared a short video of the two flying in a helicopter after their journey.

Testing limits: Michelle took to Instagram to gush about her experience this past May, writing: 'I'll ride with you Anytime #Bear Grylls, I love it when my limits are tested tried and endured, your the best'

'Say what's up, Bear,' Michelle says, before turning the camera on the show's host, who happily adds: 'She did amazing!'

She captioned the Instagram video: 'I'll ride with you Anytime #Bear Grylls, I love it when my limits are tested tried and endured, your the best'

And on the actress's Facebook page she added: 'Wait till you see what we had for dinner in the Desert... Yuck!!!!'

Michelle's appearance is part of an eight-part season which sees Bear take eight entertainment and sports stars into the most remote and pristine locations around the world for a 48-hour journey of a lifetime.

Other celebrities who signed on for the challenge are Kate Winslet, Kate Hudson, James Marsden, Modern Family's Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Hangover star Ed Helms, Fantastic Four's Michael B. Jordan and quarterback Drew Brees.

This season the series will take viewers from the jungles of Panama and the far reaches of the Italian Alps to Colorado's Rocky Mountains and Utah's Red Rocks.
