We are already accustomed to the fact that Hollywood films show universal catastrophes, human tragedies and miracles of salvation in an exaggerated and caricatured form. When the phrase "modern cinema" is used, most viewers have an image of the famous Archie, carrying a rescued child in the arms, and in the background everything also explodes, falls and collapses. At the same time, no one seriously believes that a popular actor in real life is capable of manifesting such rare qualities as kind-heartedness, self-sacrifice and risk for his own person. In the meantime, we have collected facts showing the opposite. It turns out that in ordinary life, many celebrities are able to demonstrate both quick reaction, and ingenuity, and the ability to make sacrifices without hesitation in order to save another life.

Tom Cruise

This hero of the militants can really be called the savior, if not of humanity, then of eight people, for sure. The first time it happened was during a yacht trip in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. He and his ex-wife Nicole Kidman spotted a ship in distress, the passengers of which were trying to escape by clinging to the raft. Tom Cruise immediately took his yacht to the victims and picked them up. This was done very quickly - after a while, in front of everyone's eyes, the sailboat sank to the bottom.

For the second time, the actor managed to show his kindness already in relation to the woman who suffered as a result of the accident. Cruz did not get confused and called an ambulance, and also helped pay for the doctors' services free of charge. And at the premiere of Mission Impossible, the actor noticed two children who were almost crushed by the crowd. Of course, with the help of the guards, he got to the fans-boys and led them into the hall. This is our hero Tom!

Benedict Cumberbatch

And this British actor was the case with the robbers. Not long ago, in June 2018, Benedict and his wife parked at the corner of London's Baker Street. In the rear window of the car, they saw that four gangsters had attacked the food delivery man and had already stunned him with the help of a heavy glass bottle. The celebrity showed a civic consciousness and called the offenders to account. The driver of a taxi passing by also intervened in the ensuing fight. By joint efforts, the robbers were disarmed, and the victim was assisted.

Vin Diesel

As practice has shown, this actor also learned something from acting in action films. Once a celebrity was driving through the Hollywood hills on his favorite bike, when he suddenly witnessed a terrible accident. The car caught fire and threatened to explode. Inside there were two children and a driver who could not get out. Van Diesel immediately got the guys out and took them to a safe distance. He also helped the driver to free himself, advising him not to stay near the burning car either. As a result, everyone who was in the car survived.

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Iron Archie, although he was no longer involved in bodybuilding, was still in excellent physical shape in 2004. On that day, the Governor of California was on a well-deserved vacation - vacationing with his family in Hawaii. And he managed to save a man who almost drowned in water. Schwarzenegger was swimming in the ocean when he spotted a swimmer. Apparently, that became bad, and the actor offered help. Together they reached the coast. However, the rescued was glad not only for timely help, but also for his beloved boogie board. Arnold also took this surfboard out of the water.

Cuba Gooding

At times, reality may well be more heroic than Hollywood scenarios. So, Cuba Gooding Jr., who won an Oscar for his role in the film "Jerry Maguire" and could not imagine that one day he would be able to participate in a real shootout. One day, on Memorial Day, the actor and his family decided to go to a restaurant. By car, they drove up to the establishment. And suddenly, with horror, they heard four shots and saw a young guy, blood pouring from his neck. The young man fell near their car. Not afraid to be killed by an accidental or deliberate bullet, Cuba jumped out of the car and stopped the blood with the help of towels taken from the restaurant. It also attracted the attention of passing policemen. Only when the ambulance arrived, Gooding continued with his family the planned week-end.

Pierce Brosnan

This actor knows firsthand how important it is to follow safety procedures. During the filming of the film "Percy Jackson", a van, left unattended and without brakes on the hill, suddenly began to roll onto the crowd of people. Below was his colleague in the shop - Uma Thurman with assistants. Pierce was not at a loss - he caught up with the car, jumped into it on the way and at the last minute managed to redirect the van towards the garbage cans. The quick reaction and his screams helped the actress and other people get off with what is called a slight fright. The actor once again proved that he really could have become security agent 007.

Harrison Ford

The ability to empathize and sincerity - that's why we love this wonderful actor. These qualities are possessed not only by his heroes, but also by himself. When it was announced that a child was lost in Yellowstone National Park, Harrison Ford did not sit in a cozy mansion in front of the TV and wait for further news, but also went in search. 13-year-old Boy Scout Cody Clawson fell behind during the campaign, and then completely lost his way. The teenager had to spend the night in a cave, beware of wild animals. In addition, it was raining and snowing, and the boy froze.

The next day he had to walk many kilometers until he finally heard the sound of search helicopters. What was the joy of a teenager when he was discovered by none other than the famous Indiana Jones! On his personal helicopter, he flew around a given search square and found a "lost".

The actor also used his personal transport in another rescue operation. Two girls climbed Mount Table. One of them began to suffer from heights: she developed dehydration and fever. A friend on her cell phone phoned the emergency services, and Harrison Ford flew to the rescue in his plane.

Mila Kunis

Mila Kunis, an American of Ukrainian descent, is resourceful precisely because in her childhood she had to adapt to life in another country. One way or another, but when one of the assistants in her house became ill, the girl reacted instantly. The man coughed up blood, fell and bit his tongue. Mila quickly turned the patient on his side and thrust the first thing that came to his hand between his teeth - her wallet. Soon an ambulance arrived and the doctors appreciated the actions of the actress. After all, it was her timely reaction that prevented the man from suffocating from suffocation with his own tongue.
