Brad Pitt rescues Extra

Brad Pitt was real life-saving hero on the set of his new movie in Scotland.

Brad Pitt stars as Gerry Lane in "World War Z." Pitt was in the midst of shooting a scene in which fearful masses rush through Glasgow's George Square. One woman, involved in the stampede fell and was in danger of being trampled. According to the Scottish Sun newspaper, Pitt rushed over and carried the woman off to safety.

"He didn't have time to speak to her as it was mid-shoot. But she said afterwards how grateful she was, despite having a badly-grazed knee," an onlooker told the newspaper.
