The film will be written by BAFTA award winner Jeff Pope (Appropriate Adult, Stan & Ollie, Philomena) who says, 'His has been a life full of tragedy, exploration, perseverance and, ultimately, redemption. HofвЂ™s story is uniquely fascinating in itself, and will be the subject of a film due to go into production this year - Joseph Fiennes has been cast in the lead role. When trying to explain what keeps driving him, he explains, вЂњIвЂ™m not afraid of death. At the last count, he holds 21 Guinness World Records.

His newfound celebrity was followed by a series of ever more spectacular and improbable world record attempts. In that moment Hof became known in Holland as вЂThe IcemanвЂ™. Then he was caught on camera saving a man who had fallen into an icy lake. My method can give them back control,вЂќ he said. He has been left with this nagging sense that if he had known then what he knows now, had she learned his breathing techniques, he may have been able to save her. His wife, who had shown signs of mental illness one would most closely associate with schizophrenia and manic depression, committed suicide in 2004. Two incidents would dramatically shape his life and subsequently thrust him into the limelight. But it was the opposite, I was deep into my mind.вЂќ вЂњAt the time, everybody said I was crazy to bathe in cold water. After the initial shock, he said that the experience cleared his mind.

As a teenager he felt this compulsion to jump into an icy canal at Beatrixpark in Amsterdam. His incredible journey began just over 40 years ago.

The toxin had little or no effect on any one of the dozen people. Subsequently, 12 people who had tried WHM were injected with a toxin that causes flu-like symptoms, such as nausea and a high temperature. Hof could manipulate his immune system to fight off all sorts of disease.Д«ut maybe he was just a one-off freakish specimen. What they discovered was truly extraordinary. So, in 2011, a group of Dutch researchers from the Radboud University in Nijmegen examined samples of his blood. Perhaps not surprisingly, WHM drew scepticism in some quarters. Indeed, his YouTube video titled Guided Wim Hof Method Breathing has been viewed over 21 million times. The method can be applied to all walks of life, allows him to control his heart rate, breathing and blood circulation, and has been adopted by people around the world. WHM is not just for taking on superhuman challenges. To spend prolonged spells in sub-zero environments he developed a breathing technique - The Wim Hof Method (WHM) - which is based on the Buddhist method of meditation known as Tummo. Standing in a container while covered with ice cubes for more than 112 minutes? Check.Д«ut Hof is not just some kind of novelty act. Running a half marathon above the Arctic Circle barefoot? Check. Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in shorts? Check. Hof continued to push the boundaries of what the human body could endure. That was back in 2017, at a moment in time when Hof had crossed over into the mainstream and was on heavy rotation on channels like Discovery and National Geographic. Rolling Stone magazine once described Wim Hof as a вЂglobal cultural phenomenonвЂ™.
