''My father was my hero. He demanded rigid perfection from himself and the people around him.'' Will read.
Fitness move
To confirm, this, the actor went through two weeks of working out with a trainer and losing some weight, before finally flying to Dubai for toughest challenge; Climbing the Burj Khalifa.
''I have never looked this bad. I will fix it though.'' he added.
Will Smith successfully walked up the over one hundred floors as his cardio workout on the day he summited the top.
In a footage seen by Briefly News, Will could be seen getting sweaty and all tired even as he forged ahead.
The actor finally realised there was no more he could achieve after getting to the 160th floor of the world's tallest building.
Setting records
Will got to the hightest indoor level, but challenged himself further to the highest level of the structure, the very tip of the Burj Khalifa.
The actor made a unique achivement after climbing a ladder to get to the spire, which is the individual highest point that a human being can be in a man-made structure on Earth.
This came barely days after Briefly News reported Will disclosed that he and his wife Jarda Pinkett had decided to give up on the fantasy idea that they need each other to be happy.
