Leonardo DiCaprio has helped rescue a man who had fallen from a cruise ship in the Caribbean, according to reports.
The Hollywood actor, 45, was on his boat with friends when they picked up a Mayday call, The Sun reported.
They discovered that a French crewman, 24, from a Club Med yacht had fallen into the water near St Martin while drunk, sources told the paper.
DiCaprio, who rose to international stardom with 1997 blockbuster Titanic, is then said to have immediately launched a search for the missing man.
He and his friends were the only party brave enough to go looking for the man as a storm set in during the rescue on December 30, a source said.
“The Club Med cruise worker had fallen overboard after too much alcohol and a long night,” they told the paper.
"The captain put the man's chances of survival at one in a billion. Like winning the lottery twice.”

The Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star and his friends reportedly eventually spotted the man, named only as Victor, near the tiny island of Saba.
He allegedly sobbed as he was hauled aboard, saying “I should have died.” He was then given food, drink and clothes before being passed over to coastguards.
“Leonardo played a blinding role in his own real-life Hollywood movie,” the unnamed source told the Sun.
“He saved the life of a man overboard who incredibly had survived by treading water for 11 hours."
