It sounds like something out of a crazy movie, but we’re talking about real life when I tell you that Kate Winslet saved billionaire Richard Branson’s mother from a burning house.
According to TMZ and Branson’s own blog, Branson’s home on Necker Island was caught on fire when a lightning storm hit around 4:00 AM. 20 people were inside, including his 90-year-old mother.
Everyone luckily got out safely, and Branson’s mother had some help from the Oscar winning actress, herself!
Branson wrote on his blog a personal note to Winselet, saying,
“…many thanks to Kate Winslet for helping to carry my 90 year mum out of the main house to safety wondering when a Director was going to shout CUT!”
Reality…sometimes crazier than fiction!
That place was so beautiful. Sad to see it’s gone.Although i’m sure Richard will do it over again.
