Just when it looked like Jennifer Garner couldn’t do anything else to win over her fans worldwide, the beloved actress surprised everyone with a kind act that could warm even the coldest hearts.
According to reports, the 51-year-old was at a parking lot in Santa Monica Beach, California, when she noticed a homeless man in a wheelchair.
It’s easy to imagine that most other famous celebrities would have just gotten into their cars and driven away. But Jennifer Garner is different…
We all know and love Jennifer Garner for being the kind and down-to-earth person she has shown herself to be throughout her career.
Whether it’s saving her family’s farm to keep her family history alive, trying to make postpartum baby bumps more accepted, or simply showing that getting wrinkles and folds as you age is totally normal, the Elektra star has a history that makes her stand out from many of her famous peers.
Just last week, Garner made news for giving her dad a ride in his childhood car to celebrate his 85th birthday. Now, her name is in the news again, but this time it’s for an act that shows how selfless and caring she really is.
As reported, Garner was in a Santa Monica Beach parking lot earlier this week when she found a homeless man who clearly needed help.
It’s said that the actress rolled down her car window to chat with the unfortunate stranger. Not only did she give the man in the wheelchair a bag filled with essential items, but she also noticed that he didn’t have any shoes on.

After realizing what was happening, Garner got out of her car, knelt down next to the man, and started putting socks on his feet.
Not stopping there, the star of 13 Going on 30 took off her own shoes and tried to give them to the man as well.
It quickly became clear that the shoes were too small, but Garner didn’t give up. She went over to a nearby paparazzo who had been following her and asked for his help.
“What size shoes do you wear?” she asked, according to Page Six. “Can I buy your shoes for him? He really needs a pair.”
The photographer wanted to know what size the man needed, and Garner told him that the homeless man wore a size 10 and a half.
“Oh, I wear size 11! Do you want me to give them to him? I can give them to him,” the paparazzo replied. To his credit, the photographer didn’t take any money from Garner and gave his shoes away without asking for anything in return.
Of course, Garner’s kindness probably won’t surprise anyone who knows about her life and career. The actress has always been a supporter of helping those in need, having teamed up with Save the Children for over ten years.
“Even though I didn’t grow up poor, I was always around it, and I’ve said that I was just a generation and a holler away from rural poverty,” she once shared with Southern Living.
“And I went looking and ended up with Save the Children. Because they are definitely the leaders in helping kids in rural America.”
