It’s always heartwarming to hear stories of celebrities putting their fame and power to good use. Amy Adams is the latest to do so, giving up her first class plane ticket to soldier in uniform.
The Oscar-nominated American Hustle star was on a fight from Detroit, Michigan to Los Angeles when she discreetly asked the flight attendant to switch seats with the solider.
Jemele Hill, who is a co-host of ESPN2's Numbers Never Lie, happened to be on the same flight and witnessed the act of kindness happen.
Hill told ABC News, I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the solider to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him," adding, "I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"
Hill went on to say that Adams did introduce herself inconspicuously towards the cockpit of the aircraft, which “speaks to her character.”
She took to Twitter to relay the story, tweeting, the actress’ actions were “incredibly classy,” and she’s an “even bigger fan now.”
