Fox News
Emilio Estevez recounted the time Laurence Fishburne saved his life when they were both teens while Fishburne was shooting "Apocalypse Now."
The "Breakfast Club" actor said he had only known Fishburne for a "couples of days" before the life-threatening incident. Estevez had just arrived on-set with Sheen, who was starring in 1979's "Apocalypse Now" along with Fishburne.
"He says, ‘Hey there’s this little boat, let’s go out on it.’ I said, ‘Sure.’ We were both 14 at the time," Estevez said of Fishburne. "So we were out on this boat together, and we started getting too close to the shore and I said, ‘Well, let me jump out, I’ll push us offshore. I jumped out, and it was like quicksand mud."
