Elia Saikaly, Global Adventurer sounds like a great movie title, but not sure whether it should star Chris Pratt or Mike Myers. Of course if there profiling the real Elia Saikaly, it needs to be Pratt, or another Hollywood hunk who'll whip off their shirts frequently while on adventures. Now given Saikaly is often adventuring on Mount Everest, and the average summit temperature is about -19 C, (-2 F) shirtless scenes might be pushing it, but given Saikaly has been known to bath in ice water, it's not that much of a stretch.
I first read about the filmmaker and adventurer last year, I as reminded of his hunkiness a few weeks ago when cable news decided to take a slight break from covering the orange terror to spend a day focusing on the recent uptick in deaths on mount Everest. Saikaly appeared on a few shows discussing the problem and although he was discussing a serous and tragic topic, he still managed to brighten my day.
