jemelehill via Twitter ESPN2 personality Jemele Hill witnessed Amy Adams' act of kindness.

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 said in an email to Today.com from the flight. 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.

Adams the daughter of an Army officer was flying from the Detroit set of Batman vs. Superman Dawn of Justice reprising her role as ace reporter Lois Lane.

Hill added that a flight attendant told her the actress continued to play a real life superhero onboard the plane greeting the soldier by the cockpit before heading back to her new seat in coach.

I just thought it was incredibly classy and thoughtful Hill told Today. I already was a fan of hers but now I'm a bigger one after today.

The soldier wasn't the only one on the flight to get a huge upgrade. Another passenger got to take a selfie with his new A list seatmate.
