Leonardo DiCaprio became a real life hero on December 30 when he saved the life of a man who fell overboard from a yacht in the Caribbean.
According to a report from the British newspaper The Sun, Leo, 45, was vacationing in St. Barts at the end of December with his girlfriend Camila Morrone, 22. The pair rented a boat to enjoy a day of fun in the sun.
A source told the paper, “He saved the life of a man overboard who incredibly had survived by treading water for 11 hours. Leonardo’s boat was the only vessel looking for him.”

I know why. He’s an all-star, he’s a gent, and I wouldn’t be here without you and I thank you.”

“Still, I would have shared the raft,” the
Ad Astra star said, a reference to the fate of Leo’s character Jack in
Titanic and the long-standing debate about whether he would’ve fit on the door with
Kate Winslet’s character Rose.
