Alon Aboutboul dead: Batman and Rambo star dies after being pulled from sea

Alon Aboutboul – who had roles in both The Dark Knight Rises and Rambo III – has died at the age of 60 after being pulled from the sea in front of horrified tourists

Alon Aboutboul has died at the age of 60 after being pulled from the sea on a popular tourist beach. Alon played Dr Pavel in The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.

He was swimming on HaBonim Beach in Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning when he came out of the sea. He told people he was feeling unwell, according to onlookers, before collapsing.

Paramedics rushed to the scene but were unable to resuscitate him, despite trying for an hour to revive him. The cause of death is currently not known and Alon is survived by his wife and four kids.

Israeli Culture and Sport Minister Miki Zohar posted a tribute, which read: “Last night I watched an interview with him, where he talked about filming a movie he recently participated in, and the passion for the profession that radiated from him was evident even after so many years in the field.

“Alon was an Ophir Award and Television Academy Award winner and over the years portrayed a wide range of characters to which he brought depth and emotion, leaving a deep mark on Israeli culture. May his memory be blessed.”

In The Dark Knight Rises, Alon played Dr Pavel, who was a Russian nuclear physicist. Bane – played by Tom Hardy – was after Pavel and managed to kidnap him on a plane. As he prepares to to jump out of the jet with Pavel, he tells the physicist, “Calm down, doctor. Now is not the time for fear. That comes later.”

Aside from the Batman movie, he also starred in a number of Israeli movies and Rambo III. He also appeared in the hit TV show Snowfall, which also stars actor Damson Idris.

Most recently, Alon appeared in The German as Amos Shapira for eight episodes and had a voice role in Pantheon. He also appeared in FBI: International as well as guest roles in Hawaii Five-0, NCIS: Los Angeles and Lost and Found.

HaBonim beach is a popular destination for tourists and part of it is a nature reserve. It has stunned coastal bays and inlets and has more of these dramatic natural features than any other beach in Israel.

The HaBonim area is known for its lovely hikes and stunning beaches and nearby, there is the Tel Dor National Park, which features the remains of an ancient city and harbour. There are various lookout points including over the Tel Dor ruins and also Nahsholim Beach, which extends to the north. There is also a great view from Tulip Hill.
