Just when fans thought Jennifer Garner couldn’t be more compassionate, the 51-year-old actress proved once again why she’s so admired. While near Santa Monica Beach, Garner spotted a homeless man in a wheelchair. Instead of passing by, she stopped to talk with him and gave him a bag of essentials like food and toiletries.
When she noticed he was barefoot, she tried to give him her own shoes—but they didn’t fit. So, she asked a nearby paparazzi if he had any to offer. The photographer, wearing size 11 shoes, immediately took his off and gave them to the man.
This touching act of kindness quickly went viral, highlighting both Garner’s generous heart and the photographer’s unexpected compassion. Known for her advocacy work with Save the Children, Garner continues to use her platform to inspire kindness and bring attention to important issues like homelessness.

Her gesture is a powerful reminder that even small acts can make a big difference — and that true kindness, like Garner’s, comes from action.
