Alaskan Bush People’s Bear Brown reveals bizarre new career after fans fear show will be canceled

BEAR Brown has revealed his secret hobby, and it’s no joke.

The Alaskan Bush People star spends his free time dressing as comic book characters, and is in the running to win some serious money..

Bear’s favorite cosplay outfit is Batman’s arch-enemy, the Joker.

The 35-year-old goes all-out to pay tribute to his villainous hero, dressing in a variety of variations of the character as popularized in movies and TV shows.

On his Instagram, Bear has photos of himself as Heath Ledger’s Joker from the Dark Knight trilogy, Jared Leto’s version from the Harley Quinn series, and several other looks.

Now, Bear has entered into a charity contest against other cosplayers for a chance to take home $10,000, a 2-page feature in Star Magazine, and two 3-day badges to Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon.

And if fans question his dedication to the Joker, they need only ask him why so serious?

“Hey everybody so a few weeks ago I entered a cosplay competition, I honestly didn’t expect to be selected, but awesome news, I was hand picked along with numerous other contestants to be part of cosplaystars cosplay competition!” he shared next to some photos of himself dressed as the Joker last month.

“I thought it was pretty awesome! For me just to be in the running is an amazing honor!!!!!”

With the competition ending in just a few days, Bear has found himself near the top of the list.

But time is running out, and he is starting to sound pessimistic.

“I have been holding steadily in second place, except for when I dropped down to fourth! It’s looking like this will be my last round, but I’m not giving up yet!” he shared just the other day. “Never give up, never surrender! Family motto!”

BEAR ON A WIRE
While Bear takes a stab at the cosplay contest, he continues to recover from being actually stabbed.

The reality star was untangling some old barbed wire earlier this month when he accidentally impaled himself, and was forced to go to the emergency room.

Bear shared photos of himself driving in his truck and posing outside of it, which had hay bales loaded on the back.

He explained in the caption: “I was working yesterday, hauling hay and undoing old barbed wire.

“I accidentally stabbed myself really deep with a rusty piece of barbed wire so I had to go to the emergency room, to get a tetanus shot!”

A day earlier, the ABP star posted a selfie of himself sitting on a hospital bed with a face mask on.

The father of two simply captioned the snap: “Oops.”

Fans flooded Bear’s posts with their concern, with one writing: “I’m sorry to hear that! That was dangerous!

“Hope everything goes well! Please take good care of yourself.”

Another added: “Bummer, but well done getting the tetanus shot. Better to be safe than sorry.”

BANE OF HIS EXISTENCE
Bear – who is one of the stars of his family’s survival reality show on the History Channel – has had a tough few months.

The reality star recently split from his wife Raiven for a second time – just weeks after they welcomed their second son.

In February, Raiven, 23, revealed she is a “single parent” in a post on Instagram.

She shared a photo of herself in bed with her sons, River, two, and Cove, three months.

Raiven captioned her post: “The boys and I moved to wa and I shipped everything with a uhaul box thing.

“So I’ve been living out of a bag with a newborn and toddler. Now the shipment that was supposed to arrive today is delayed.”

She continued: “Lol my luck I tell you I’m gonna go cry hahah. Taking care of two kids as a single parent is challenging.

“Much less with 6 onesies each I’m so tired of laundry.”
