Guess what?: Joe Taslim faces fear of heights

A

ction actor Joe Taslim was forced to face his acrophobia during a visit to New Zealand, recently.

He took on the sky jump at the Sky Tower last September, jumping from 192 meters off the ground.

'€œIt was my first time jumping off a high building, which was much higher than bungee jumping.

'€œI have a fear of heights, at that time my heart skipped a beat and I couldn'€™t feel my knees,'€ he said as reported by tribunnews.com on Sunday.

Joe, who appeared in The Raid and in an installment of The Fast and the Furious, talked to the press at the 100% Pure New Zealand tourism promotional event in Jakarta on Saturday.

Joe said he would have not gone through with the jump had local media not been covering his visit.

'€œThe camera was ready so I jumped. It only took seven seconds to reach the ground. I want to try it again.'€
