Will Smith overcomes fear of diving - video

Hollywood star, musician, actor and true showman Will Smith has decided to celebrate his 50th birthday by compiling a list of things he has never managed to do for various reasons. Among the many items on the list was diving in a full aqualung.

As it turns out, despite his many talents and enormous self-confidence, “Big Will” feels great respect for the ocean, which even verges on panic. No wonder that diving has been a problem for the actor so far.

Recently, the actor known for such mega-hit productions as “Man in Black”, “I Am Legend” and “Independence Day” started a vlog about his everyday life. This is where he posted a video documenting his first attempt to dive, and we guarantee there is a lot to look at, as the circumstances were truly cinematic!

You have to admit that if someone suffers from a fear of water and is panicky about diving under its surface, being caught in a storm, sailing a small craft for a dive, will certainly not take this as an extra incentive. Will, however, was up to the task and received a well-deserved reward.

What happened to him during his dive on the Great Reef in Australia, made a huge impression on him and he will surely remember this experience forever. We can safely say that the legendary Fresh Prince joined the diving family and became one of us – geeks, in love with the underwater world!

Who knows? Maybe next time you’ll see Will Smith not on the silver screen, but in a dive centre or some picturesque dive location?
