Will Smith bungee-jumped out of a helicopter into the Grand Canyon for his 50th birthday

Will Smith is facing his fears for his 50th birthday.

The actor celebrated half a century on earth Tuesday by bungee-jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon, all while live-streaming the feat on his YouTube channel.

The stunt was live-streamed to raise awareness and donations for Global Citizen’s education campaigns. The organization is known for its commitment to end extreme poverty by 2030.

Smith decided to perform the jump as a way to overcome fears, after previously being afraid to walk near the edge of the canyon when visiting with his family when he was young. “I’ve made it a point in my life to attack anything that I’m scared of,” Smith said in the live stream.
