The aim of this educational review article was to identify cases of Hollywood stars who have been involved in aquatics. A literature search was conducted using the terms ‘drowning’, ‘Hollywood’, ‘actor’, rescue’, ‘aquatics’, ‘swimming’ and ‘lifeguard’. It was found that several Hollywood film stars (n=33; males=20, females=13) have worked as lifeguards (n=12), performed lifeguard rescues (n=2), or lifesaving rescues (n=4), were aquatics athletes (n=6), or suffered drowning-related incidents (n=9). A brief overview of those actors and their involvement in aquatics is presented.
