ZACHARY - Louisiana native Tyler Perry is doing his part to spread some much-needed optimism during the coronavirus crisis.

On Wednesday, customers at the Winn-Dixie store in Zachary said the famous writer-director paid off the grocery tab of everyone shopping during the store's senior hour. Management at the store later confirmed Perry's donation, adding that he was doing the same thing at every Winn-Dixie statewide Wednesday morning.

The entertainer has pulled off similar gestures in the past, including last year when he used his private plane to deliver supplies to the hurricane-ravaged Bahamas.

One of the most generous celebrities out there.

I'm super white so I don't really get his movies, though.

Didn’t know he was from Louisiana. Also, he’s worth a TON of money.

I don't believe it happened since he didn't post a video of himself doing it on social media. Seriously though, what a wonderful gesture.

And that’s exactly what I would expect from Tyler Perry. He’s a leader .

It is strange to see someone doing good things just because they are a good person and not for attention.

Did you have to like and share his FB post to be eligible to get it?

Tyler has always been a pretty stand up guy. He's told his story of how he used to be homeless on the streets in New Orleans. Sure, he got famous for wearing a dress lol, but he has done a lot to give back.

He has sponsored scholarships, formed programs to put homeless people or recent inmates to work, etc.

Sounds like they're geniuses for exploiting kids and stupid adults for financial gain.

Not the first time dude has done something like this. He also footed the bill on thousands of lay a way orders at wal mart during Christmas. I’m not super familiar with his movies but these moves are legit as frick and he has my respect.
