Whether it's saving someone from drowning and a car accident or helping a homeless man on the street, a number of actors and public figures have touched people's hearts with their acts of kindness.

AceShowbiz - Before he saved the president in "Olympus Has Fallen", Gerard Butler jumped to the rescue of a 14-year-old boy who was drowning. The then-26-year-old actor was having a picnic at Taymouth Castle in Scotland back in 1997 when he heard Daniel Smith screaming for help. He then ran to the riverband, jumped in and pulled him to safety.

"I wouldn't call myself a hero. I just acted instinctively," the Scottish hunk told The Herald. "When I brought him out he was lifeless. I'm just glad he's all right now." Turns out the story didn't end there. The actor kept in touch with the boy he saved and nearly 20 years later he made a speech at Daniel's wedding.
