Popsugar Celebrity Celebrity Instagrams Will Smith Bungee Jumping For His 50th Birthday If You're Scared of Heights, Will Smith Bungee Jumping in the Grand Canyon May Give You Vertigo 27 September 2018 by Monica Sisavat Solís First Published: 26 September 2018 Will Smith is 50, y'all! The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air celebrated his birthday on Sept. 25, and he marked it in the most amazing (though some may argue terrifying) way: he went bungee jumping over the Grand Canyon! On Tuesday, Will live-streamed the entire thing on YouTube and said his decision to jump actually came from a family trip in 1976. Will recalled that he had been the only one in his family who was scared to walk up to the edge of the canyon. "I was scared to take in the beauty," Will said. From then on, Will made the decision that he would confront his fears, and guess what? He survived! Of course, Will had family and friends cheering him on, including his wife, Jada, and his three kids, Trey, Willow, and Jaden, as well as his former costar Alfonso Ribeiro. "Congrats @willsmith! You did it! But no more! @shereezampino almost had a Heart Attack!😆" Jada wrote on Instagram. Watch Will conquer his fears ahead.
