Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, has dubbed a 10-year-old boy a \u201creal-life hero\u201d after the youngster copied a scene from one of his films and saved his little brother\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
When Jacob O\u2019Connor found two-year-old Dylan floating face-down in the swimming pool he didn\u2019t rush off and find a grown up to help, instead he remembered a move from one of his favourite films, San Andreas.<\/p>\n
Jacob, from Roseville, Michigan, managed to pull his brother out of the pool and started giving him chest compressions \u2013 just as he\u2019d seen The Rock doing in the film.<\/p>\n
Dylan was then rushed to hospital and went on to make a full recovery.<\/p>\n
When he heard of Jacob\u2019s amazing intervention, Dwayne Johnson tweeted: \u201cWow amazing story\u2026.You\u2019re a real life hero. We\u2019re all proud of you! DJ\u201d.<\/p>\n
Jacob\u2019s mother Christa O\u2019Connor told the BBC: \u201cI\u2019m at a loss for words. I\u2019m amazed at what Jacob did. I\u2019m so proud of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said her son was taking all the praise in his stride and added: \u201cHe just thinks it was the natural thing to do.<\/p>\n
\u201cSomeone asked him if he thought he was a hero and he just said \u2018I don\u2019t know\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m surprised Jacob remembered what he\u2019d seen in the film but it\u2019s one of his favourites and he\u2019d seen it the week before.\u201d<\/p>\n
The specific scene Jacob was copying was one in San Andreas where Johnson\u2019s character tries to save his on screen daughter.<\/p>\n
Jacob told local news media: \u201cI was scared when I saw Dylan in the pool.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMy favourite movie, San Andreas, had compressions (CPR) in the movie and I remembered it from the part in the movie where there was an earthquake, then there was a tsunami, and the girl was drowning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn most movies, that\u2019s what they do. They try to save the person first, and if it\u2019s not working, they go get someone.\u201d<\/p>\n
The boys along with their other brother Gavin, 8, were being looked after by their grandmother while their mother was at work, but Dylan managed to somehow get out unnoticed.<\/p>\n
When Jacob spotted his brother was gone he went to investigate and found he\u2019d managed to unlock two back doors to get into the garden and then walk around the corner to the swimming pool.<\/p>\n
After Jacob\u2019s life-saving resuscitation Dylan coughed up some water but because he didn\u2019t respond fully Jacob ran to tell his grandmother.<\/p>\n
She called an ambulance and Dylan was rushed to hospital. In the meantime his mother drove frantically from work to meet them there.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was unconscious and on oxygen when I got there,\u201d she said, \u201cand was kept in for two days.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut he\u2019s well now and has no neurological damage or any lasting effects.\u201d<\/p>\n
After all the trauma the mother-of-three can reflect positively on the accident, which happened at the end of last month.<\/p>\n
\u201cThankfully we\u2019ve been so lucky and it\u2019s like it never happened,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
