Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is the first Indian to get behind the #dizzygoals challenge in support of a major campaign launching next month to make the new Global Goals, a series of ambitious targets to end extreme poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change for everyone by 2030.
Launching at the United Nations General Assembly by 193 world leaders, the dizzy goals challenge invites personalities and the public to run around a ball until they're dizzy and then to try score a goal.
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 Gareth Bale took the first dizzy penalty challenge for The Global Goals.
He was followed by former footballer Gary Lineker OBE, former England striker Alan Shearer OBE and Liverpool Football Club players Jordon Ibe and Joe Gomez.
