DWAYNE’S SAN ANDREAS ROLE SAVED A LIFE

A10-year-old boy saved the life of his little brother by using the CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) methods that he learned while watching Dwayne Johnson’s (above) movie San Andreas.

Johnson took to social media to praise Jacob O’Connor, after the Detroitarea youngster helped saved his two-year-old brother Dylan from drowning.

“You know there’s a little 10-year-old boy out there and his name is Jacob O’Connor. He’s a real-life hero. He couldn’t find his little two-year-old brother Dylan so he went out back and found little Dylan lying face down in their pool. Jacob pulled him out, remained calm and started administering CPR and chest compressions and saved his little brother’s life.

“He learned how to do this by watching this big, brown tattooed guy in his favourite movie ‘San Andreas’. Jacob, I’m so proud of you, so much so that I’ve got to meet you. I’ve got to shake the hands of a real-life hero,” Johnson said.

According to Jacob, he remembers a scene from San Andreas in which Johnson was doing CPR. “There was an earthquake, then it caused a tsunami and then there was a daughter that was drowning and he had to get her out and he did the same thing,” the 10-year-old told ABC2 News.

Jacob will now meet the actor on the sets of his new film. “When you come to my sets, it’s like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory dude because you can eat all the sweets you want and it’s all free,” Johnson teased.
