​Random acts of kindness by celebs are always nice to see every now and then. We definitely love to see hollywood’s finest going out of their way to make someone's day.

Adams' friendly gesture doesn’t come as a surprise for many. Her father served in Italy where Adams was born. Even with the close military ties, Adams was adamant about keeping the deed hush hush.

“I didn’t do it for attention for myself. I did it for attention for the troops.” (Via Inside Edition)

Co host of ESPN’s Numbers Never Lie, Jemele Hill, was on the same flight and saw the nice deed and couldn’t keep it to herself, tweeting 

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.” (Via Twitter / jemelehill)

Hill told ABC that after the switch was made, Adams privately met with the soldier by the cockpit.

“It was a random act of kindness. She said it was something she always wanted to do. She decided she wanted to put her money where her mouth is, basically.” (Via Inside Edition)

Classy move, Amy. Classy move.
