Will Smith established himself as not only an action star but also a compelling actor by pulling off an amazing stunt on his 50th birthday.

Will Smith Jumped off a Helicopter on His 50th Birthday, Risking It All for Thrills

A Will Smith movie in the 90s guaranteed crazy action stunts. Be it jumping from
questionable heights or making his motorbikes do a ballerina twirl, Smith was
always up to the mark. Moreover, a majority of movies that cemented his position
in the movie industry were high on action stunts. Not only did the actor make
sure he was in spectacular shape, but also pulled off the most difficult of
stunts with unbelievable suaveness. However, as the actor started aging, fans
wondered if he had lost his mojo.

Will Smith put a full stop to any chatter that pointed to him being any lesser
of an action star than he was before when he jumped off a moving helicopter on
his 50th birthday.


WILL SMITH PULLED OFF A MILLION-DOLLAR STUNT FOR A GOOD CAUSE

Anyone who thought that Will Smith was only jumping from moving cars because he
was being paid a hefty cheque for it was proven wrong by the actor. Will Smith,
choosing to jump off a helicopter on his 50th birthday for no reason other than
the thrill, proved that the actor is a dare-devil if Hollywood has ever seen
one. As the actor celebrated half a century on 25 September 2018, he bungee
jumped in the middle of the grand canyon to raise awareness for a Global Citizen
charity aiming to minimize extreme poverty by 2030.



The actor posted the video on his YouTube channel, and fans were surprised to
see him perform such a dangerous stunt despite not being paid for it. Smith too
seemed a bit frazzled moments before he literally jumped the gun. The Fresh
Prince’s family, alongside his close friend Alfonso Ribeiro, all came to cheer
for the actor as he achieved such an iconic feat.


SMITH’S LOVE FOR STUNTS EXCEEDS BOUNDARIES

Will Smith was among the first grand movie stars who transitioned to YouTube. It
was not difficult for the actor to gain subscribers considering his place in
Hollywood, but what attracted people to his channel was how the actor always
cooked up something thrilling for his fans in every single video.

Meet Aliza Siddiqui, a Hollywood News reporter at Netflix Junkie. Her love affair with Hollywood began with Anne Hathaway and The Princess Diaries, but it was the thrilling climax of Don’t Look Up that cemented her infatuation with the industry and its filmmaking. Aliza's journey into entertainment reporting began with her time at Otakukart, where she wrote over a thousand articles. Her writing style is cheeky and engaging, as seen in her report "Somewhat Alarmed," where she narrates Jimmy Kimmel's hilarious story of how Jason Bateman tricked him into gecko-sitting. Aliza's ultimate dream is to study and critique films that capture her imagination and the attention of movie-goers worldwide. When she is not busy binge-watching Sacha Baron Cohen movies and The Office, she loves to curl up with a weathered copy of a Khaled Hosseini or Indu Sundaresan book.
