New photo: Bill Murray saw his native Chicago from an angle he never had before -- from 13,500 feet up to be exact.

According to the Associated Press, the funnyman skydived for the very first time on Friday to help kick off the 50th Chicago Air and Water Show.

"It seemed like a good idea at a time," Murray said. "I've had second thoughts, believe me. I've been really nervous. All the jokes (from friends) involve death."
