Just because celebrities sometimes play heroic figures on screen doesn't mean they aren't also real-life heroes. Life imitates art more than you'd imagine; several celebs have literally saved lives and rescued a person in need! Whether it's pulling someone out of a burning building, saving someone from drowning, or calling the paramedics and waiting with the victim, these stars did something good.
On the night of September 10, rockstar Jon Bon Jovi was filming a music video on a bridge in Nashville. A video posted by the authorities shows that Bon Jovi and his crew stopped when they noticed a woman standing on the outer ledge of the bridge. They approached her to talk, and shortly after pulled her to safety. Bon Jovi and the woman were seen embracing before walking out of the shot. It appears that she was thinking about jumping from the bridge, but was convinced to come off the ledge by Bon Jovi and another individual. “It takes all of us to help keep each other safe,” said Chief of Police John Drake in a statement on social media. The incident took place on the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, over Tennessee’s Cumberland River.
