“Black Nativity” star and R&B powerhouse Jennifer Hudson surprised her assistant and best friend, Walter Williams, with the ultimate Christmas present this year. She bought him a house.
Hudson posted a video to her Instagram account on Tuesday, December 31, showing Walter’s amusing yet heart warming reaction to his gift.
Upon receiving the news, Williams first drops a folder of paperwork, potentially containing documents for his new home. He then screams in shock and excitement before running to embrace Hudson. The modest 31-year old, Academy Award winning actress quickly ran to take cover on her couch, as Williams’ excitement filled the room.
Williams and Hudson met in the sixth-grade and have been best friends ever since. Williams has always believed in and supported Hudson, going so far as to manage her in her early years.
In a 2009 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Williams shared a promise he had made to the now successful star, “‘I promised her that I wouldn’t stop until the whole world saw her.”
Now Williams’ promise is ringing true and Hudson is rewarding his due diligence with a gift that many of us still dream about.
