Thomas Rhett appears to be a daredevil in his social media posts, but most of those shots are not his idea.

In social postings, Thomas and his wife are often seen doing risky things like feeding tigers; a recent picture of them taken in Washington State shows them on the edge of a cliff.

As Thomas told us, "My wife has no fear about anything. Like there's a lot of stuff that I've done in my life that I only did because she said to do it. Like, I skydived because she wanted to me to it and I wanted to be like thirty feet from that rock, but there was a lot of people just kind of hanging out and Lauren was like, 'Honey this rock is super sturdy' and I was like, 'Yeah until it's not.' But we got out there and she just wanted one picture I got out there for like four seconds I just took the photo and was back on solid ground."

Rhett posted to Instagram the rock photo a few days back saying, "Still deciding if the pre-show hike was a good idea good times with the best crew! Can’t wait for Tacoma tonight!"

Thomas plays shows in Orange Beach, Alabama this weekend.
