Will Smith has accomplished a lot in his life. From starring in his hit eponymous TV show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, to making big screen blockbusters, and giving fans hit music, he’s been a part of pop culture for nearly 40 years. In fact, he’s now starring in a new documentary series that recently hit the 2026 TV schedule, Pole to Pole with Will Smith, which sees him literally have adventures from the North to South Pole. One of those outings led to him nearly dying while scuba diving in the Arctic, and his story about the wild experience has made me laugh almost as much as it’s absolutely terrified me.
