It’s been a big week in Titanic news. First, Brad Pitt opined definitively on the age-old raft conundrum in his Golden Globes acceptance speech, saying , “I would’ve shared the raft.” Now, in an act of restorative justice for drowning victim Jack Dawson, Leonardo DiCaprio has taken part in a high-octane rescue at sea.

While vacationing in St. Barth’s over New Year’s Eve with his age-appropriate girlfriend, 22-year-old Camila Morrone, 45-year-old DiCaprio and his pussy posse were carousing aboard a boat when the boat’s captain heard a Mayday call that a 24-year-old Frenchman had fallen from a cruise ship near St. Martin in the Caribbean, according to reports. Upon hearing this news, DiCaprio agreed that they should go in search of the missing man. After combing the rough waters for hours, DiCaprio and his crew located the missing man, who was severely dehydrated and had been treading water for 11 hours.

The crew hauled the man aboard, where he was given food, water, and clothes before he was passed off to the local Coast Guard. According to one source, DiCaprio’s boat was the only vessel searching actively for the man, whose chance of survival was considered slim to none.

"The captain put the man's chances of survival at one in a billion—like winning the lottery twice," a source told The Sun .

As if the ordeal wasn’t already cinematic enough, DiCaprio and company managed to rescue the man at dusk, just before a massive rainstorm was scheduled to hit the area.

Color us impressed, but not quite as impressed as when Chris Hemsworth rescued a stranded hitchhiker in his helicopter. In any case, we look forward to DiCaprio’s film adaptation of this daring rescue at sea.
