Charley Boorman
Modern day, adventure, explorer and UNICEF ambassador.  

Son of famous British film director John Boorman Charley Boorman is a travel writer, television presenter and actor who has cultivated a media career in his own right. Known for his love of motorbikes, Charley Boorman has worked as a television presenter for a variety of documentary series but is probably most well-known for the series Long Way Down and Long Way Round in which he travelled on a motorbike alongside his friend and Hollywood actor Ewan McGregor.

Boorman is a fan of motorsports and extreme travel, many of his exploits as a presenter have involved travelling to or through exotic and dangerous locations or by unusual and unorthodox means of transport; his popular series By Any Means sees Boorman travelling from Sydney to Tokyo via the Pacific Rim using whatever transport is available. Boorman was involved in two major motorcycle accidents which necessitated a long recovery and many operations. However, Charley was determined to get on with life and is certainly a man who doesn’t give up easily.
