After all, did you really celebrate turning fifty if you didnβt bungee jump over the Grand Canyon?
You know the strange ππ’π«ππ‘day proverbs, like Lordy, Lordy, Will Smith is forty and Nifty, Nifty, Will Smith turned fifty by jumping out of a freakinβ helicopter over the Grand Canyon. That last one is perhaps more specialised, but itβs still quite true. On Tuesday, Smith went full superhero and bungee jumped out of a helicopter in collaboration with YouTube Originals. Watch the entire thing: Smithβs family and friends were hosted by Alfonso Ribeiro, also known as Carlton. As Will Smithβs pal, picture the kind of inquiries you would receive: Hey dude, I saw you host Americaβs Funniest Videos now. Well done! Would you like to take me skydiving from a helicopter?
Naturally, βThe Jumpβ featured inside helicopter shots and full split screens because, well, if youβre going to go big, you have to go all the way.
The entire idea originated from YouTubers Yes Theory, who inspire individuals to conquer their fears by travelling the globe. Smith consented to do it in exchange for increasing awareness of Global Citizenβs educational initiative.
Thereβs something really gloomy about chopped up Fresh Prince, so the most horrifying element isnβt the jump so much as the recoil. Will, happy ππ’π«ππ‘day. Like us commoners, think about taking a low-key Dave and Busters trip the next yearβyouβve earned it.
