Hollywood star Amy Adams was on board a Delta Los Angeles-bound flight when she saw a soldier going to his coach seat.

TMZ reported that ESPN's "Numbers Never Lie" Jemele Hill was on board the same flight, and witnessed what happened.

Hill first tweeted "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," and then explained further in an interview with Today:

"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 ... 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."

"I just thought it was incredibly classy and thoughtful," she added . "I already was a fan of hers, but now I'm a bigger one after today," she added.

Reports say that the "American Hustle" actress asked the flight's crew to do the exchange privately, but she was still flocked by reporters upon exiting the airport.

Adams grew up in a military family. Her father served as a United States Army officer.

In an interview with Inside Edition, Adams said that she did not do it for the attention. "I did it for attention for the troops," she explained.
