Recently, Hunger Games starlet Jennifer Lawrence was out walking her dog when she saw a girl collapse on her front lawn. Jennifer made her character Katniss proud by rising the occasion, immediately calling paramedics and staying to make sure that everything worked out okay.

We've said it once and we'll say it again: Will someone give Ryan Gosling a superhero franchise already?! Not only did the hunk break up a fight in Astor Place that was conveniently caught on camera, he also saved a British journalist's life when she almost got hit by one of those pesky New York City cabs. Swoon

When a 50-year-old employee at Mila Kunis' house began to have a violent seizure, Mila instructed others to call 911 and kept the man alive and prevented him from choking by holding him on his side. Definitely not the kind of selflessness you'd expect from her Black Swan character, eh?

Kate Winslet was on vacation at the luxurious Necker Island, owned by British billionaire Richard Branson, when chaos began to ensue. Branson's 90 year-old mother got caught in a fire that struck one of the many guest houses on the island, and while everyone else was asleep, Winslet got down and dirty for the rescue mission. Branson was obviously incredibly grateful, and our guess is she has many chic vacations in her future.

Brad Pitt is more than one of the sexiest men alive -- he's also a hero. The actor saved an extra from being trampled on the set of his latest film. Our guess is that she was almost as happy that Brad Pitt touched her as she was to be alive! Okay, maybe not, but we bet she was pretty stoked.

Gwyneth Paltrow almost hit a rollerblader on the morning of September 11, 2001. They were frazzled and returned to their apartment, and missed their train. They later missed the attacks on the World Trade Center by minutes, and credit Gwyneth with being one of the factors that saved their lives.

It’s no secret that celebrities collectively have somewhat of a bad reputation. Generally, if there’s a great deal of chatter about a certain celebrity, it’s focused around their diva-like behavior, outrageous demands, and all-around rudeness. But then there are some stars who remind us that this just isn’t the case.

Just the other day, Jennifer Lawrence, the star of Hunger Games, was casually walking her dog when she came across a collapsed teenager in front of her apartment complex. Instead of calling 911 and fleeing the scene, Jennifer stayed, made sure that everything was okay, and even offered aid to the ailing girl.

This isn’t the only time that something like this has occurred. How can we forget about the British journalist that Ryan Gosling saved from being hit by a speeding New York City cab? (Though we have to admit, we’d probably risk our lives to be saved by Gosling … )

In honor of celebrities who don’t put themselves first — and instead put the lives of people they don’t even know first — we’ve compiled a gallery of the most famous real-life superheroes. Click through the slideshow to regain faith in Hollywood and mankind all in one!
