Former President George W. Bush accepted his daughter Jenna Bush Hager’s ice bucket challenge on August 20.

In a hilarious twist, former First Lady Laura Bush surprised him with the face full of cold water after the former president offered just to write a check.

Jenna Bush Hager nominated her dad for the viral challenge, which has helped raise over $22 million for ALS Association, when NBC News’ Craig Melvin doused her last week.

George W. Bush wrote on Facebook: “Thanks to Jenna Bush Hager, Rory McIlroy, Woody Johnson, and Coach Jim Harbaugh for the #IceBucketChallenge – and to Laura W. Bush for the check. Next up: President Bill Clinton. Help #StrikeOutALS at www.alsa.org.“

The former president starts his video by trying to forgo the ice altogether.

“I do not think it’s presidential for me to be splashed with ice water,” George W. Bush said.

“So, I’m simply going to write you a check.”

Then Laura Bush sneaks up behind her husband and splashes him with the required bucket of ice water.

“Now it’s my privilege to challenge my friend Bill Clinton,” George W. Bush tells the camera after he gets a moment to dry himself off.

“Yesterday was Bill’s birthday. And my gift to Bill is a bucket of cold water,” President George W. Bush said.

After many celebrities have joined the Ice Bucket Challenge movement in the past weeks, all in hopes of raising money for ALS Association, Duck Dynasty’s Willie Robertson has also stepped up to the plate.

The Duck Dynasty star’s ice bucket video has caused quite a stir on Twitter.

On the previous day, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal asked Willie Robertson to take on the ice bucket challenge and donate to the ALS Association.

Willie Robertson was happy to accept this challenge. He posted a YouTube video of his ice bucket experience, first stopping for a quick prayer “for those suffering with this disease and their families”.

While most ice bucket challenge participants hold buckets of ice water over their own heads, Willie Robertson apparently needed a little help. He completed the challenge in front of the memorable Duck Commander sign at the warehouse in West Monroe, waiting for two of his relatives to dump a trash barrel full of ice water over his head. The relatives completed this enviable task from the roof of the warehouse, while Willie Robertson stood below.

Thoroughly soaked, Willie Robertson commented: “A lot of force…that hit me like a truck!”
