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.
'It was my first time jumping off a high building, which was much higher than bungee jumping.
'I 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.
'The camera was ready so I jumped. It only took seven seconds to reach the ground. I want to try it again.'
