Two Oscars for this hero! Leonardo DiCaprio saved a drowning man in the open sea

Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio took a direct part in the rescue of a man drowning in the sea. The actor's yacht was heading to the island of Saint Barthelemy in the Caribbean Sea when the ship's captain received a radio message that a man had fallen overboard of the cruise liner.

DiCaprio, having learned about the accident, immediately gave instructions to change the route and go in search of the missing man. Since a lot of time had passed since the incident, the chance of success was very small. Nevertheless, the movie star's yacht continued to comb the sea until the man was discovered.

The victim was taken on board the vessel and given first aid. The rescued was a 24-year-old French citizen who was making an entertaining trip on a cruise liner with friends. There is no information yet about how the Frenchman ended up overboard and how he managed to stay on the water until help arrives.

The journalists of the Daily Mail learned that the search for the missing tourist lasted 11 hours and the chance to save him was scanty. Very few people can stay afloat for such a long time, and besides, the Caribbean Sea is teeming with sharks.The captain of the yacht DiCaprio, who has solid experience, admitted in an interview with the press that the chance of salvation was about one in a billion. The area where the person was behind the bot was determined very approximately, and a lot of time has passed since the incident. It also significantly reduced the chance of a successful search and the fact that of all the ships that were in this square of the Caribbean Sea, only Leonardo's yacht responded to the call for help.

It is already known that the actor, along with his girlfriend Camille Morrone, was heading to the island of Saint Barthelemy, where they planned to spend the weekend. It is very good that DiCaprio and his companions were able to combine business with pleasure and simultaneously save a human life.

After a vacation in the tropics, the Titanic star returned to Los Angeles to attend the Golden Globes. His colleague in the movie "Once upon a Time in Hollywood" Brad Pitt did not miss the chance to make fun of his colleague — "Were you able to share a raft with him this time?". This Nonsense hinted at the demise of DiCaprio's character Jack Dawson in Cameron's film, where the main character did not find a place on an improvised raft after a shipwreck.
