As it turns out, Wes claims that he broke his foot after...kicking a bear in the face. Yes, really.

The actor told Entertainment Tonight that the incident occurred while he was on a camping trip with his family.

“I was on a camping trip with my kids in Montana," he explained. "A bear approached and I kicked him in the face and broke my foot." And it sounds like the approach to fending off the furry creature actually worked!

Wes also joked that the bear felt so bad that it made his kids "a nice meal" and "apologized" to them — and he also said that he hopes his kids are appreciative of his heroic gesture.

"I had to sacrifice my leg for it so I hope my kids are appreciative, otherwise I’ll have to kick them out of the house," he joked.
