Theyve played basketball with Obama, cut a lock from Robert Pattinsons head and helped deliver a baby, now the boys from MTVs Buried Life Ben Nemtin, Dave Lingwood, Duncan Penn and Jonnie Penn are to launch a picture book.
What Do You Want To Do Before You Die? is about real peoples dreams in fact 200 of them, selected from millions of responses that Buried Life received from their Facebook fans (over 1.25 million), Twitter followers (150,000) and people they met along the road.
The book also reveals what motivated the boys from Victoria to start this project some six years ago.
Something amazing happened to each of us individually, and this brought about a self-belief that we could do anything, Ben says.
No wonder theyve been labelled the social conscious of the Jersey Shore generation. Mind you, helping a young girl combat her fear of heights on Oprah, donating $1 million to charity and capturing a fugitive could only have helped that do-gooder image.
Buried Life will be at Kidsbooks (2550 Camsun at 10th) on April 4 from 7 10pm. A signed copy of the book and a ticket to the event cost $25.
And just because the book is out, dont think you have to stop posting your Bucket List ideas on the boys Facebook wall.
