DiCarprio rescues a wheelchair-bound fan (Bang! Showbiz) Updated: 2006-07-25 09:02 Leonardo DiCaprio came to the
rescue of a wheelchair-bound fan at a Madonna concert.
The 'Titanic' star
rushed to help Francesco Clark, after he got into difficulty when the crowd
surged forward and almost toppled him out of his chair at the singer's Madison
Square Garden show last week.
Clark's friend, writer Elisa Lipsky-Karasz
revealed to America's New York Post newspaper: "Francesco couldn't see anything
because people were all standing around him. He tried to move to the front, but
no one would budge, and nobody cared. Then the security guard come over and was
being rude and told him to move.
"At that point, Leo came over and said,
'Why don't you come sit with me and I'll just move over.'"
Clark - who
was involved in a car accident which left him a quadriplegic,and now runs the
Clark's Botanicals skin-care company - took up the star's kind offer and moved
into the area which was located directly in front of a no-standing
zone.
DiCaprio also extended his generous invitation to another
wheelchair-bound fan who was struggling to get a good view of the
stage.
