Biel 'excited' about Kilimanjaro climb

Jessica Biel has revealed that she is looking forward to climbing Mount Kilimanjaro.

Biel, who is taking part in the trek to raise money for a water charity, told Parade that she is nervous about the climb.

"It definitely is a scary challenge because you don't know how your body will react at such high altitudes," she said. "But it's fun, it's exciting. I'm thrilled to go.

"It will be a mental challenge. I think it's really going to be a wonderful experience to have climbed Kilimanjaro."

Biel also admitted that being the face of a charity feels "weird".

"It's funny that this is an upside to fame because you don't really feel sometimes like you deserve to be the face of something," she said. "But I think it is important to stand up for what you believe in and stand up for the world.

"I would never say that anyone should follow me or do what I'm doing, but this particular issue is so important because it affects the human race."
