He continued, “So, part of the bucket list was to give myself the freedom to do all the things that I had put in my mind that I couldn’t do. I’m not being adventurous and I’ve always wanted to be that.”
Smith has shared his adventures on his new Facebook Watch showWill Smith’s Bucket List. He kicked off the series witha skydiving tripfeaturing his wife, actress Jada Pinkett Smith, and his sons Trey, 26, and Jaden, 20.
In September, when he celebrated his 50th birthday, Smith admitted he was terrified of jumping over the Grand Canyon.
“I’ve had an interesting relationship with fear my whole life. [When I was younger, my family and I], we drove to the Grand Canyon and I remember having a deeply meaningful experience of how beautiful it was but I was terrified of walking to the edge,” he said. “All my family walked up to the edge but I stayed back, too scared to take in the beauty. I’ve made it a point in my life to attack anything that I’m scared of.”

“I hate being scared,” Smith added. “When the guys at Yes Theory challenged me [to bungee jump] I said, ‘Damn it,’ because I hate being scared.”
Once he was back on the ground, Smith couldn’t stop raving about the experience, telling his family upon seeing them, “Nothing, nothing will ever be scarier than that. It goes from complete, absolute terror to the most magnificent bliss you’ve ever felt in your life.”
