\u201cSo I went to ascend and hit ice. I was like, \u2018oh no, Will, calm down. Calm down\u2019. You have a tether on, and you have to grab your tether and pull yourself back to the hole. I grabbed and accidentally pulled my mask off.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amid oxygen loss, Smith immediately put the mask back on his face, and he tried his best to calm himself down.<\/p>\n
He continued: \u201cI was like, \u2018oh no. Will, calm down\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum then joked: \u201cAnd I was like, \u2018if I get out of here, I\u2019m only going to do black stuff from here on out\u2019. I promise, Lord! African American behaviour from here on out!\u201d<\/p>\n
Amid calming his nerves, Smith felt someone grab \u201cmy tether up top and started pulling\u201d him to safety.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cAnd when I realised I was good, I just relaxed and I looked around and when I tell you, the sun is coming through the ice, and it went from terror to the most spiritual, beautiful thing. And I was just like, \u2018whoever\u2019s up there, don\u2019t let go of my tether\u2019!\u201d<\/p>\n
After reliving the \u201crough\u201d and deadly experience, Smith then told Fallon about the time he hunted for anaconda while in the Amazon for his Disney+ travel series.<\/p>\n
The Men in Black star recalled: \u201cWe were with the natives, and they didn\u2019t even have no clothes on, their whole name and address was hanging out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd so we\u2019re going down the river, and they see the anaconda and jump out of the boat into the water and swim for the anaconda.\u201d<\/p>\n
Will noted that the task was part of a \u201cconservation\u201d initiative.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cThey had a sense that there was some kind of illegal dumping going on, and the scales of the anaconda they hold whatever\u2019s in the water. So they would take a scale from the anaconda and test it to be able to use it in court.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was really wild. I don\u2019t know why they needed me!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSo I went to ascend and hit ice.
