Jamie Foxx was hailed as true-to-life hero after he saved someone's life on Monday night, Jan. 18.

Just like a scene from one of his action-packed movie, the actor bravely pulled out a man from a truck that burst into flames, just a few yards away from his home in Hidden Valley, California.

The "Django Unchained" star told the California Highway Patrol (CHP) that upon hearing crashing sounds, he ran out to check it out. When he saw the burning vehicle and realized that the driver was still trapped inside, he sprang into action to free the man.

According to TMZ, Foxx dragged the driver about 30 feet away from the crash site for fear that the vehicle will blow up at any moment.

In a brief interview with ABC News, Foxx recalled that five seconds after pulling the driver out, the truck went up in flames. He added that another man helped him break the vehicle's window to save the driver.

"He has EMT scissors. He hits the glass, I climb in and try to hit his seat belt, but he's hovered over, so the seat belt is on him." Foxx recounted. "So I grabbed the scissors from him, cut the seat belt, but it's on his neck. So I cut it off his neck."

The California Highway Patrol identified the driver as Brett Kyle. The officers stated that the accident happened because the 32-year-old driver was speeding when his Toyota Tacoma drove into a drainage ditch by the road, crashed into a pipe and overturned a few times. The vehicle landed on the passenger side when the fire started.

As the first to respond on the scene, the Venutra County paramedics immediately brought the injured man to the Robles Hospital and Medical Center for treatment. It was reported that Kyle is also under arrest for suspected drunk driving which led to the near fatal crash.

As stated by Joe Kyle on ABC News, his brother Brett suffered major head, chest and neck injuries. In particular, his lung was punctured as a result of a broken collarbone. Joe added that "he would be in a much worse situation if Jamie Foxx didn't come along."

Brad Kyle, the driver's father, also told the news outlet through tears, "It doesn't matter to me who it was, or what they do for a living, or whatever. Just the idea that someone would do that is so much more than I can fathom."

Brett's dad also explained that he's tearing up because of happiness, stressing that he would have lost his son if it weren't for the actor's bold rescue.

Meanwhile, despite this heroic act, the Grammy awardee did not boast about his deed. He even said that he is no hero. "No heroes...Just happy fathers," he wrote on Instagram.
