Warner Bros.
Adams, who was born and raised on military bases, gave up her first class seat for a solider who was sitting in coach.
ESPN personality Jemele Hill witnessed the act of kindness and tweeted about the incident to her 244,000 followers:
Just saw actress Amy Adams do something incredibly classy. She gave her 1st class seat to an American soldier. I'm an even bigger fan now.

Hill later explained to ABC News: "I noticed Ms. Adams was in first class and as I was getting seated, I saw the flight attendant guide the soldier to Ms. Adams' seat. She was no longer in it, but it was pretty clear that she'd given up her seat for him. I was incredibly impressed, and I'm not even sure if the soldier knew who gave him that seat. I guess he will now!"
Looks like Adams also took time for a selfie with a fan:
