Jennifer Hudson gave her personal assistant the Christmas bonus of a lifetime: a brand new house.
The Oscar-winning actress even filmed the moment in which she broke the news to her assistant, Walter Williams, and posted it to Instagram with a caption that read, "My assistant Walter's reaction when he found out I was buying him a house."
Upon hearing the news, Williams goes beserk and jumps on a couch before giving Hudson a hug.
Perhaps Hudson's generosity has to do with the fact that Williams is more than just an assistant to her. The two go back to middle school, and Hudson has called him her "closest friend."
"Walter and I have been friends since sixth grade," Hudson told The Advocate in 2011. "He's by far my closest friend."
