Actor Brad Pitt was a young girl's real life hero when he saved her from being crushed by a crowd of his fans in Spain. Pitt was in Spain to film his latest movie "Allied" in Gran Canaria.
On May 22, Sunday, Pitt went out from the set of the World War II flick for the people who waited for hours to see him. The crowd then started to call his name and took photos. That was when he spotted the 11-year-old girl named Claudia who struggled by herself to stand among the excited crowd.
Claudia was up against the barricades and was crushed by the people at her back. Pitt made his way towards the girl as soon as he saw her and reached out to her with his hand. Soon, a security guard helped and pulled the girl out.
The girl then shared a moment with Angelina Jolie's husband, who held her head and spoke to her, Huffington Post reported. She came out anxious and was examined on the scene for injuries by a medical team who found out that she was unharmed.
Claudia stayed with Pitt and the crew of the movie on the back lot until she calmed down. She then had a photo taken with Pitt.
Claudia's mother, Maria Dolorez Hernandez, heard her daughter who was on the front row calling to her that she was drowned by the crowd. Hernandez sought Pitt's help because he was the only one who gave her daughter attention, according to El Diario.es.
"Allied" was set in 1942. Pitt plays Max, a French-Canadian spy who falls in love to a French agent named Marianne (Marion Cotillard) after his mission in Casablanca. The war gives extreme pressures on their relationship and he starts to conduct an investigation of her wife when being informed that she may be a Nazi spy.
Penned by Steven Knight and directed by Robert Zemeckis, the WWII romantic film that is set on November 23 by Paramount Pictures also stars Jared Harris, Matthew Goode and Lizzy Caplan. Graham King, Steve Starkey and Zemeckis are the film's producers, with Denis O'Sullivan, Jackie Levine, Jack Rapke, Patrick McCormick and Knight executive producing.
