Will Smith has decided to celebrate his 50th milestone birthday in a big way; he marked the special occasion by bungee jumping out of a helicopter, straight into the Grand Canyon on Tuesday. 

The whole bungee jump experience was captured on camera and was live-streamed on the actor's YouTube channel which was hosted by former co-star and friend Alfonso Ribeiro. Smith made the choice to live-stream the jump in order to raise awareness and donations for Global Citizen’s education campaigns. The organization works to counter and combat global poverty and hunger.
