Will Smith is hosting a luxurious 50th birthday party and you’re invited. Yes, really.

The Pursuit of Happyness actor is set to mark the occasion by bungee-jumping over iconic landmark the Grand Canyon in America.

The 49-year-old announced that he will bring one lucky fan and their friend along to watch the jump take place in person for the live-streamed event.

Explaining the details, Smith said: “Here’s the deal. I’m coming to you with a once in a lifetime opportunity.

“On September 25, I’m turning 50, that’s the big five-0. I’m offering you and a guest to come party with me on my birthday.

“It’ll be hot I’m telling you, you come, you hang, we have some lunch, take some pictures, you can FaceTime your grandma.”

He added: “I’m going to be jumping out of a helicopter over the Grand Canyon, you don’t have ot do that part.”

“We’re teaming up with Omaze, Global Citizen and Youtube, we’re raising money to benefit Education Cannot Wait. Let’s have some fun and make the world a little bit brighter in the process.”

Smith aims to raise awareness and donations for the organisation’s education campaigns to help youth who are in desperate need of support.

Fans from all over the world can enter except Belgium, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Italy, North Korea, Singapore, Sudan, Syria and Thailand.

The site specifies that entrants must have a valid passport to be able to travel

To enter, fans must donate $10 (around £8) to the cause via Omaze by September 10.
