But Perry wasn’t done there; the award-winning actor and filmmaker also surprised shoppers in his home state of Louisiana by picking up grocery tabs in all 29 of the state’s Winn-Dixie locations, according to WWLTV 4.

People magazine reported last month that a number of stores would be opening their doors early to make things easier for older people, in particular, to lessen the chances that they would have to deal with large crowds as they shop for essentials amid the coronavirus outbreak.

According to one shopper at a Winn-Dixie, customers were handed a piece of paper that read, “Random act of kindness. Present to cashier before 8 a.m.” After handing the cashier that piece of paper, they were told their groceries were already paid for and that they had an unnamed “local celebrity” to thank for it. They later found out that Perry was that generous celebrity.

This is only the latest in Perry’s “random acts of kindness” and it comes just a few days after he left $500 tips for all of the 42 out-of-work servers at a Houston’s restaurant in Atlanta on Sunday, giving away $21,000 total.

Perry shows us time and time again that he is about that good samaritan life. His acts of graciousness are just what the world needs in these times of great uncertainty and instability.

Thank you, Mr. Perry. We salute you.
