Bollywood action hero Akshay Kumar, who is known to be a sports lover, has joined footballers Gareth Bale, Gary Lineker and Liverpool football club to get "dizzy" for a new Global Goals Campaign.
Using the connection of 'goals', the dizzy goals challenge invites personalities and the public to run around a ball until they are dizzy and then to try score a goal.
The 47-year-old actor took the hilarious challenge in Houston, USA during rehearsals for his sell-out concerts Fusion which also marks the superstar's 25th year in the film industry. The #dizzygoals challenge left India's undisputed action hero no less than dizzy.
Akshay is the first Indian personality to get behind the #dizzygoals challenge in support of a major campaign launching next month to make the new Global Goals for Sustainable Development famous.
The #dizzygoals for The Global Goals campaign is already breaking the internet as some of the world's leading footballers were challenged to shoot a dizzy penalty. Real Madrid FC and Wales national football team's mid-fielder Bale took the first dizzy penalty challenge for The Global Goals.
The Global Goals are a series of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change for everyone by 2030.
