If you're still feeling down about last night's season finale of Arrow, then one star is ready to cheer you up. Tonight, the world is gathering for Red Nose Day in order to raise funds for children all around the world. In order to do that, Stephen Amell announced he would be taking part in a special celebrity take of American Ninja Warrior for charity.
Well, the actor just had his go at the course, and the fans are feeling shook over the star's muscle. The buff actor destroys the course with ease before taking on a never-before-seen obstacle which sends him hurtling into some cold water.
In the video, fans can watch as Amell takes on a slew of challenges, but it is his work with the Salmon Ladder that had fans buzzing. The actor has been filmed on Arrow working out on such a device when Oliver Queen needs to train. Today, fans got to see Amell do the challenge in real-life, and he got through the stage beautifully. However, the actor had a few issues when he got to a brand-new obstacle.
In Amell's last moments, the actor is seen hanging from a suspended board as he tries to maneuver to a platform across from him. The star couldn't make the hurdle, but he did take time to thank fans for watching his go at American Ninja Warrior before letting himself fall into a pool of water underneath him.
The Arrow star is not the only one who competed in the celebrity edition of tonight's show. Erika Christensen, Derek Hough, Natalie Morales, Ashton Eaton, Nikki Glaser, Nick Swisher, Jeff Dyne, and Mena Suvari all participated as well. Each celeb was paired with an American Ninja Warrior all-star, leaving Amell to work with Kacy Catanzaro.
After a violent shipwreck, billionaire playboy Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell) was missing and presumed dead for five years before being discovered alive on a remote island in the North China Sea. Oliver returned home to Star City, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice. As the Green Arrow, he protects his city with the help of former soldier John Diggle (David Ramsey), computer science expert Felicity Smoak (Emily Bett Rickards), his vigilante-trained sister Thea Queen (Willa Holland), former police captain Quentin Lance (Paul Blackthorne) and brilliant inventor Curtis Holt (Echo Kellum).

Newly appointed Mayor Oliver Queen finds himself challenged as he fights on two fronts for the future of Star City. With Diggle back in the military and Thea adamant about hanging up her hood as Speedy, Team Green Arrow is down to just Oliver and Felicity – but they're no longer the only vigilantes in town. Green Arrow's public defeat of Damien Darhk at the end of Season Four has inspired a new crop of masked heroes to step up and defend the city, though their painful inexperience makes them obstacles, rather than allies, in the field. The arrival of a deadly new adversary will force Oliver to confront questions about his own legacy, both as mayor and as the Green Arrow.
