HOLLYWOOD star Will Smith’s Australian odyssey has made its way to Far North Queensland.

The Bad Boys star has ticked off a bucket list item by scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef at Lizard Island, north of Port Douglas.

“Another one checked off of my Bucket List... Scuba Diving at the Great Barrier Reef! That fish was a whole lot scarier in-person,” Smith posted on his Instagram today.

The A-Lister has visited Melbourne and Sydney since arriving last week, entertaining his fans with hilarious social media posts and appearances at the Australian Open and Big Bash League.
