Megan Markle, and I have met quite a few AAA listers through work. The majority are polite or say very little.

Why, what did she do?

Timey · 23/10/2022 14:55

Adjoa Andoh. Worked on a production with her in backstage role. She was nice to the actors but had several people (including me) in tears. She is very controlling and won’t listen, extremely rude.

hotdiggetydog · 23/10/2022 14:46

Princess Diana. Very full of herself.

Readinginthesun · 23/10/2022 14:39

On the other hand I met Zoe Ball and she was lovely.

Readinginthesun · 23/10/2022 14:39

Chris Tarrant . I was a contestant on WWTBAM many years ago and he was awful.

Sugarbeaches · 23/10/2022 14:35

The most lovely person I have ever encountered was Joel Dommet. He was sat near us having a pint on the grass with his friend. He had literally JUST sat down and a couple of teens came up to him to ask for a selfie. He was so friendly and warm with them, taking time to chat and having his picture taken. And he didn’t complain about them after they had gone either! A genuinely lovely person!

Or maybe they meant Dr Brian Cox ...................goes off to muse ...

Anyone have a link to the earlier threads? Sat with a newborn clusterfeeding and sleep deprived- need some celeb goss to get me through the next few hours!

charming when she wanted to be and really unpleasant if something didn’t go her way or she was inconvenienced
The same can be said of Brian May,

@bloodynewusernameagain

Nooooo don't read the previous thread , my flab has been gasted by the news that the lovely Dr Brian May isn't as perfect as I thought he was Haloween Sad

I'm going to attribute his tardy behaviour on his clogs rubbing his toes or one of his rescue hedgehogs being ill
(He has a Rescue set up on his grounds .........did I mention he was perfect ?)

I’m not normally this rude but how slow are people?

DH was a typo and should have been DA. It makes perfect sense, unless you’re really stupid Confused

So annoying, especially as the poster clarified.

David Hattenborough

Clearly David Attenborough's posher cousin!

OneTC · 23/10/2022 13:52

I dunno there's loads of people in these threads that have said that Anton du beke dancer matey is really nice but I dealt with him daily for years and he was a fucking arsehole each and every time

notmyrealmoniker · 23/10/2022 13:47

Love these stories. I'm pleased that the people I think are nice, are turning out to be so, and the people I think are twatty are also twatty.

Only time I've ever been wrong about certain people giving me the creeps was Rolf Harris.

olodo · 23/10/2022 13:46

notmyrealmoniker · 23/10/2022 13:45

Do you mean she was nice and polite too?

Nope, she's saying Meghan Markle was the worst. In ways we're yet to find out.

GuyFawkesDay · 23/10/2022 13:45

My Dad worked with Attenborough for years at the BBC. Delightful man. Ditto David Bellamy.

He also worked with Richard Madeley. I rarely hear my dad swear. He swears about Madeley....

A few family members work in TV and to be honest the vast majority of stars seem to be lovely. One or two can be a bit precious but they're often very insecure. The reputation of the actors etc goes before them and there's not that many that have bad reps but some are known to be vile to work with.

It's very hard to know how to judge some of these without context.

A celebrity could look a bit sour if they've been approached for the 10th time during a family meal out for a selfie. Or if they're being asked for their autograph while trying to pay for and pack their shopping or are talking on their phone.

Obviously no excuse for telling anyone to fuck off or for behaving miserably during a paid for public appearance. But I'm sure there's just as many rude fans as rude celebrities.

That's why ive not posted a lot of stuff where I've had brief encounters. People have off days. All of us do.

I've only mentioned people who were just completely obnoxious.

One of my biggest jobs was with an actor who's now gone to Hollywood and won an armful of BAFTAs and emmys. He was clearly shy and didn't want to be there! But he was polite and professional. No trouble at all.

I wouldn't include him here as he wasn't a dick. He didn't shout at anyone. Didn't treat the runner like a slave. And didn't insist his girlfriend be hired as the make up artist (and charge double the rate) so they could snort said fee during the shoot... no that would be a (short lived) tv presenter.

Nightynightnight · 23/10/2022 11:25

I don't think she deserves to be on a list of unpleasant celebrities because she has the audacity to wear make up and speak. She's also had a horrific year or so with a chronic health condition and anxiety and probably could do without this kind of negativity.

🤣🤣🤣

olodo · 23/10/2022 13:33

Mine is Kate Middleton, the new Princess of Wales. Met her through work, mind you, I meet quite a few AAA listers.

I knew someone who worked at the Royal Academy, so not my story...
He told me that David Attenborough was absolutely vile.
( I know I couldn't believe it either)
Apparently the Academy does out of hours openings for their special members. On this occasion J had to open up, was thrilled to do so as he was a huge fan of DH.
Whilst unlocking the areas he turned to David H and mentioned he thought the last episode of xxx was the best TV he had ever seen. DH stood there and stared at him before saying coldly.. " I don't think someone like you should be talking to someone like me"
J was mortified.
On another occasion DH threw his coat at J and told him to take care of it.
He didn't left the coat on the floor and walked away.
Has never watched anything he's made since. Apparently his partner looked embarrassed both times.

I think it's possible that the person was short tempered with your friend because they got their Attenborough's mixed up!
Imagine being told "The Living Planet" was cutting edge for nature documentaries when you'd just been in Gandhi or vice versa!
Refuse to believe David isn't a perfect gent.

Ruby wax is a horrible person.

She is quite simply not funny and barely cracks a smile unless being paid to or on the TV. She was at a charity event and had been asked to be keynote speaker and do her stand up. Instead she lectured everyone there on how appalling her life is and we should be pleased she was even there. She then stood at the back being rude if anyone asked her to sign their book which she had agreed to do prior.

Kirsty Allsop is also a misery.

Meanwhile, Judy Murray is an utter star, witty, engaging and cones across as just a very proud mum.
Lauren Laverne is lovely too, very happy to chat.
Grace Dent I was petrified to talk to, turns out she's incredibly funny and loves a good debate.
And Olly Murs was doing a signing at my local music store, at the time DD liked him but we couldn't get near the place. Instead, we popped for some lunch, and then went to get the bus, the stop was behind the store he was doing the signing in.
We realised he was taking a break, standing by the door, so DD waved at him and he ushered them over. We said we had wanted to come in but it was a bit overwhelming and too many people which had put a 7 year old DD off. He gave them the biggest cuddle, had a selfie, and signed DDs poster they'd brought with them.
Perrie from Little Mix is nice too, she was at an event just herself to watch, with people I assume are friends, DD went over even though I said she probably shouldn't as some celebs get funny when not on stage, not at all, Perrie was lovely, another very well received hug and selfie.

I’m quite pleased to hear David Attenborough is a twat. It makes me feel better about not being able to stand him popping up on my telly every five minutes lecturing me about climate change, when it’s not me whose entire career is thanks to the wonders of air travel Blush

This really made me laugh. I’m not a fan
