Jennifer Garner has received high praise from celebrity chef José Andrés for helping LA fire victims.
Last weekend, the 52-year-old actress stepped out for those in need in Los Angeles by volunteering with World Central Kitchen.
“She lost a friend [and] she was there like one more,” Jose told People magazine about Jennifer, who joined him in bringing meals to families affected by the deadly fires.
The 55-year-old chef continued, “It feels like she was my friend since childhood — and we just met, we barely met — and there she was. I did not have to tell her what to do, because she’ll always find something to do on her own.”
Jose added that Jennifer gave “hugs to so many people” while distributing food to needy people.
“I think that’s almost like a psychology worry that I don’t think anybody realizes, but that’s so deep and so important,” added the chef, who received the National Humanities Medal from the White House for his work with World Central Kitchen.
