Actor Brad Pitt came to the rescue of a young fan after she was being crushed against a fence by frenzied fans in the Canary Islands.

Brad Pitt showed fans he doesn't just play heroes in movies, he also is a hero in real life. Pitt is in the Canary Islands right now filming his World War 2 drama Allied. The actor went to greet fans at the barricade of the movie set in between filming scenes for the movie.

While he was waving and smiling to fans, he noticed a young girl who seemed to be in distress. Pitt went to talk to the girl and even jumped up above the fence so he could talk to her. He motioned for security to help him and they lifted the girl over the fence and out of the crushing crowd. After the young girl was lifted to safety, she began crying and Pitt comforted her. Medics arrived and after Pitt made sure she was okay, he waved one last time to the crowd and walked away.

No word on after he rescued the girl, if him and Angelina attempted to adopt her. He also should have saved the person who recorded this from recording vertical. This is the real tragedy of this video.
