Amy Adams has enchanted audiences with roles in everything from Disney musicals to the Oscar-nominated “American Hustle,” but it’s likely the ever-popular starlet just gained more fans—through a subtle act of kindness.
According to ESPN host Jemele Hill, Adams gave up her first-class seat on a flight so an American soldier could sit in the classy cabin. Hill, who co-hosts “Numbers Never Lie,” tweeted about the event from her verified account.
Later, Hill told FoxNews.com, "I was on a flight from Detroit to Los Angeles...While I was in the boarding area, I noticed Ms. Adams and she was glancing at an American soldier, who was dressed in uniform. I saw her whisper something to the woman she was traveling with.
"I was upgraded to first class, where Ms. Adams was. I saw her leave her seat and then a flight attendant escorted the soldier to her seat. It was pretty obvious she'd given up her seat for him.
"I later asked a flight attendant if the soldier knew who had given up their seat for him and she told me that he did, and that Amy and the soldier met privately near the cockpit area.
"I just thought it was incredibly generous and thoughtful. I've been a big fan of hers, but now I'm an even bigger fan...
"The flight attendant even remarked to me that in all her years of service she has never seen a celebrity do something like that. Regular people, yes. But not a celeb."
Adams, whose father was in the military, settled into a coach seat for the flight.
"Ms. Adams did it so quietly and quickly that it speaks to her character," Hill added. "And somebody in coach just got a helluva seatmate!"

Looking c to biggest movie night
The Oscars, the biggest night of the movie year, is once again upon us. Celebrating a year of exceptional films and performances, the 2014 ceremony boasts a diverse collection of impressive nominees.
In a category which includes American Hustle, Dallas Buyers Club and Captain Phillips, I believe that Steve McQueen’s 12 Years a Slave will be awarded Best Picture. McQueen is also my choice for the Best Director win.
Matthew McConaughey is my pick to win Best Actor. His phenomenal performance as AIDS afflicted hustler Ron Woodroof in Dallas Buyers Club eclipsed his fellow nominees.
I expect Cate Blanchett, who last weekend won the BAFTA for Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, to have repeat success in the Best Actress category.
Jared Leto, who was an utterly convincing transgender woman in Dallas Buyers Club and was fantastic in his role, is my pick to win Best Supporting Actor.
In my review of American Hustle, I predicted Jennifer Lawrence to win Best Supporting Actress and I stand by that prediction. Lawrence, perhaps the best young actor today, is as natural as any actor I’ve ever seen.
The 86th Academy Awards ceremony is on this Sunday night from 1.30am on Sky Movies Oscars.
