'Fresh Prince' Fans Thankful Will Smith's 50th Birthday Bungee Jump Went Better Than Trevor's
Happy birthday, Will Smith! September 25 was a big day for the "Fresh Prince" since he turned 50 -- and went bungee jumping from a helicopter over the Grand Canyon. As one does.
As many "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" fans remembered, bungee jumping was a very dark storyline when Trevor Collins-Newsworthy's (Brian Stokes Mitchell) jump did not go as planned. He proposed to Hilary Banks (Karyn Parsons) during a live bungee jump, but ended up dying when he hit his head on the way down.
Thankfully that was not the case for Will Smith.
Smith jumped in response to Yes Theory's challenge, and a big portion of the Internet was there to watch -- and worry.
"Will Smith the Jump" was posted live by YouTube Originals, showing a new face of "live TV," and trending all day on social media.
The streaming world is definitely taking over -- from YouTube videos to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, DC Universe, the upcoming Disney streaming service, etc.
Congrats, Will!
