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 came 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.

I always liked this guy. He's got class!

Don't know about class based on some of his past exploits, but this was a nice thing to do.

Cool of him, but why oh why for the love of pete was he in attendance at a MADONNA concert?

I actually might even lose a little respect for him after reading this article.

I kid, I kid.

That's really nice but I must say - I just can't picture him @ a Madonna concert. WTF?
