Hollywood actor Jamie Foxx has come forward to speak out on saving a man from certain injuries following a near-death car crash this week.

Foxx told reporters this week he did what felt natural by saving the 32-year-old victim’s life.

The Oscar-winning actor told reporters on Tuesday that he only did what felt natural. “I’m not a hero,” he said, “but had to do something.” Foxx, 48, pulled a man — who was allegedly driving under the influence — from a burning car last night after an accident took place near his Los Angeles-area home, a member of Foxx’s team confirmed to ABC News today. A rep for the actor also confirmed the news. (ABC News)

The movie star released a picture of himself hugging the man’s father on Instagram last night (January 19).

Foxx showed off his heroic ways in Cali a couple nights ago.

The wreck happened at 8:30 PM on Monday — a single vehicle appears to have skidded on wet roads, hit a ditch and flipped upside down. It ended up in front of Jamie’s gate in normally sleepy Hidden Valley … northeast of L.A. Witnesses tell us Foxx told CHP officers he heard the accident, ran to the scene and saw the driver buckled into his seat. Fearing the burning car would explode … Jamie told cops he unbuckled the man and dragged him about 30 feet away from the accident. (TMZ)

Instead of fleeing the scene, Foxx made sure to call law enforcement.

The actor already had called 911, so first responders arrived a short time later and transported the victim to a hospital with injuries. (New York Daily News)
