According to the BBC, he says he “remembered it from the part where there was an earthquake, then there was a tsunami, and the girl was drowning.” Thankfully, Dylan suffered no permanent damage and has since made a full recovery after spending two days in the hospital.

The wrestler-turned-Hollywood-actor had kind words for Jacob, who he described as a “real-life hero”.
