Just as is portrayed in 2 Hearts, Christopher Gregory was a 19-year-old freshman in college who tragically died from a brain aneurysm. As an organ donor, Christopher's organs were later donated to seven different people, including the film's other protagonist Jorge.

The movie follows two couples – Christopher and Sam played by Euphoria's Jacob Elordi and Tiera Skovbye and Jorge and Leslie played by Adam Canto and Radha Mitchell – whose parallel romances decades apart are forced together by a twist of fate.

Jorge insists on knowing who his donor was, and sends a letter of gratitude to Chris' parents, and they send a letter back. Sam and Chris' parents meet with Jorge and Leslie. The final scene shows Chris on the beach as in the opening scene, looking towards Jorge and Leslie's yacht with Sam and his parents on it.

At the age of 64, Jorge received a double lung transplant as a result of Christopher's death, as Christopher had signed up to be an organ donor. Christopher's heart, liver, kidneys, pancreas and corneas ended up being donated to six other people.

Yes, 2 Hearts Is Based On A True Story Eric Gregory is actually the father of Christopher Gregory, who really did exist and tragically die of a brain aneurysm at the age of 19. Eric penned the memoir after his son's unexpected death as a way of coping and celebrating his son's life.

Aside from redundancy, if a single heart could not be capable of regulating high blood volumes or weights, then this would necessitate the presence of a second heart.

Jorge Bacardi is 76 years old today, but there was a time when his parents were told that he wouldn't even live past 10 years old. There are references to having faith in God, but this is not an overtly religious movie, so all audiences will be able to relate and be inspired by it.

"2 Hearts" is an inspirational movie that plays like a Hallmark movie, which is fine with me as the intended messages are brought to the forefront with believable and charming characters.

Jorge Bacardi, whose family has manufactured rum and other spirits for 150 years, suffered since childhood with primary ciliary dyskinesia, a debilitating lung disease that nearly ended his life. A double-lung transplant at Mayo's Florida campus in 2008 enabled him to take his first full breath of air at age 64.

Adapted loosely from Eric Gregory's nonfiction book All My Tomorrows, it follows the evolution of two romances with themes related to illness, death, grief, and hope. The first, in the 1970s, involves wealthy Cuban-born rum executive Jorge (Adan Canto) and flight attendant Leslie (Radha Mitchell).

Jorge and Leslie Bacardi A member of the well-known Bacardi family, who have distributed rum and other fine spirits for 150 years. But a determined young Jorge outlived his doctors' predictions of not surviving his childhood, and then went on to become the vice president in the Bacardi family business.

Jorge, better known as “TJ,” the youngest of four. siblings, was born on April 6th, 1944 in Santiago de. Cuba to Caridad and Joaquin Bacardi.

Aside from conjoined twins, no human is born with two hearts. But in the case of extreme heart disease, called cardiomyopathy, rather than receiving a donor heart and removing yours, doctors can graft a new heart on to your own to help share the work. This is more commonly known as a piggy-back heart.

Much like is depicted in the movie, the real Chris tragically passed away from a ruptured brain aneurysm at the age of 19, and his organs were later donated to six different people.

Some animals like the octopus have more than one heart. An octopus has one main, systemic heart that pumps blood to the whole of its body. But it also has two additional hearts, responsible for pumping blood over each of its gills.

You surely know that humans and giraffes have just one heart, as most animals do - but not all. Octopuses and squids (animals called cephalopods) have three hearts. Two hearts pump blood to the gills to take up oxygen, and the other pumps blood around the body (Figure 1).
