Nathan Fielder earned his pilot's license after two years of training for The Rehearsal.
In the last episode, the Hollywood comic spoke openly about his Boeing 737 takeoff and landing experience.
"When I first started this project, I decided that there was no better way to learn about pilots than to become one myself," he told Entertainment Weekly. "However, it immediately became evident that I was not a natural at this. "Especially when it came to landing the plane."
Fielder's comedic documentary delves at the extent one individual will go to lessen the uncertainties in everyday life by rehearsing life events.
"I was apparently such an abnormal case that they started passing me around to different instructors in an effort to diagnose what was going on with me," he told me. "No one sees all the nuances of communication in there, how subtle it is, the disconnects."
The Curse actor talked about his flight: "For some reason, they trusted me, I was one of two pilots in the cockpit, and sometimes, when they'd be on a bathroom break, it was just me in there, flying over the Atlantic Ocean for hours until the welcoming sands of Namibia come into view."
"They only allow the sharpest and greatest pilots to operate a plane of this size. It feels wonderful to know that. If there is a problem with someone, they are not allowed to enter a cockpit. So if you're here, you must be okay," the 42-year-old actor concluded before signing off.
