Amy Adams proved herself to be a class act on Friday when she gave up her seat in first class to a U.S. serviceman who was on her flight.

Amy Adams Gives First Class Seat To Soldier

Adams' act of selflessness was witnessed by ESPN Number Never Lie co-host Jemele Hill, who shared what she saw on Twitter. “Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy,” Hill tweeted. “She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I'm an even bigger fan now.”

Hill elaborated on what happened on the Delta flight from Detroit to Los Angeles in an email to Today.com.

"When we were waiting to board, I saw her glance the soldier's way and then she said something to the person she was traveling with," Hill wrote. "Once we boarded, I saw she was in first class. I was upgraded to first class and she was a couple rows behind me. I think she must have said something to the flight attendant, because before we took off she had vacated her seat and the flight attendant brought the soldier to her seat."

When the soldier accepted Adams seat in first class, she headed back to his spot in coach, where she took a selfie with a passenger she was now sitting beside. “Told @InsideEdition why Amy Adams was classy for giving up her 1st class seat to the soldier sitting next to me! :),” passenger Ernest Owens captioned the snap.

Adams grew up the daughter of a military man. Her father, Richard, was in the U.S. army and was stationed in Vicenza, Italy, when the actress was born. The family eventually moved back to the states and ultimately settled in Colorado.
