Despite the storm approaching and being just another 1 hour of light ahead of them, Di Caprio insisted to keep looking for the man.

The movie star's boat eventually found the 24-year-old man who was very dehydrated and waved with his hands in complete panic after being in the water for almost 11 hours!

According to The Sun's report: "They were the only ones to respond to the man's distress calls, and his only chance of surviving, despite being a few hours away. The man who fell into the water was minutes before drowning when they found him. He was in the water but still managed to wave his hands when Di Caprio approached near him".

"It wasn't long before darkness came down, and a great storm appeared on the horizon. The man would not survive. He thought he was dreaming after being rescued and saved by one of the most famous people in the world".

The report goes on: "Di Caprio played a leading role in the real-life Hollywood movie. He saved the life of the man who fell miraculously after surviving 11 hours in the water."

"Di Caprio's boat was the only one looking for him. The boat captain estimated the man's survival chances were 1 in a billion - like winning the lottery twice".
