Los Angeles - Actor Will Smith took a
bungee jump into the Grand Canyon on Tuesday to mark his 50th
birthday and raise money for a global education campaign.
The "Men in Black" star leapt from a helicopter and bounced
head first between the steep sides of a gorge at the Grand
Canyon in Arizona in a jump streamed live on YouTube.
"This is gorgeous, beautiful," Smith said as he swung upside
down on the end of the bungee cord.
After landing back on solid ground the actor called the
experience exhilarating.
"Nothing will ever be scarier than that. It goes from
complete absolute terror to the most magnificent bliss you've
ever felt," he added.
Smith was raising funds for the charity Education Cannot
Wait, which provides education to children around the world
during conflicts, crises and natural disasters.
