Worst celebrity you have the pleasure of meeting😬part 3

How long ago was this? David Attenborough's partner died in 1997.

David Attenborough is possibly the nicest and most unassuming celebrity/famous figure I've had interactions with through work. Cannot believe he's ever been anything but a perfect gentleman.

Nick Baker from the Really Wild Show was a misery guts though. He was doing a talk to kids but looked like he'd rather be elsewhere afterwards when they were asking him questions and trying to get his autograph.

Another one putting her hand up to say how lovely David Attenborough was - I worked on a project with him. Vicky Pendleton on the other hand was really unpleasant (not the same project).

I have read that Monty Don sometimes has to be “firm” with his admirers who constantly come up to him with gardening queries or plant IDs, which must be tiring when you’re trying to do the big shop. That’s the thing when you become a National Treasure - some people seem to think they own a piece of you.

Great name Windbeneathmybingowings 😁

The nicest famous person I ever met, hands down is Paul Whitehouse! Such a nice guy!

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

Paddy McGuinness. Utter slimeball. Tried desperately to convince my friend to shag him and when she told him to leave her alone he called her an ugly cunt. This is years ago I will add.

Sean Paul. He asked me if I knew who he was. I didn’t. He then told me how lucky I am to be near him. Okay.

Following, thanks for new thread

Tony Robinson was filming with the timewatch team on our street and he was really lovely.

Bill Oddie has a reputation for being "Mardy" but he was fantastic company at a Wildlife Trust event I attended, a thoughtful and observant man.

......oops epic
post fail

"Not you David walliams, I meant my colleague David KING!"

He had a face on him like a slapped arse.

This...

David Walliams back in 2006 at a hotel in Nottingham where our team was on a residential training course.

We were in reception and I called over one of my colleagues (also called David) to go into the meeting room.

David Walliams looked up expectantly on hearing "his" name being called out and I realised David Walliams was staying at the hotel too as he was on a show tour in the city.

I'm not a morning person at the best of times but i am ashamed to say "oh no not you David Walliams I meant my co

The David Attenborough idolisation is ridiculous. I've heard similar stories about him - not many, but a couple. Just became you don't like the story and it contained a type doesn't mean it's not true - give the poster a break!

At the end of the last thread, someone mentioned Gyles Brandreth. I met him and I he was exactly the same as you see on TV, he was working at the time though so maybe he different when off duty.

Damien Hirst... thankfully I have not had the 'pleasure' but a member of my family has regular interactions with him in the art world. An absolute prick completely motivated by money, whose minions create most of the 'art work'.

I actually thought it was a muddle up withDavid Hockney because of the DH

I'm sure the poster must be confusing DA with his brother Richard.

Don't believe the Attenborough story at all.

He was charm personified when I worked with him. Even sat down and listened to me wittering on about primates over a cup of tea...

Had plenty of friends work with him say the same thing. Not a bad word against him.

There's another thread running about celebrities, there are multiple posts about how lovely David Attenborough is. The one in this thread about him at the RA is a case of wrong celebrity surely.

I came across John McCrirrick once. His behaviour - even for him - was shockingly awful. A thoroughly unpleasant man, and holds top place in my 'worst celebrities I've met' list.

Jeremy Kyle - Absolutely horrible person. Was annoyed that my 15 year old daughter looked at him, came over with his chest puffed up and was about to open his mouth in a rant until he spotted me. complete nelson complex. WHo'd have thought, heah...

Sarah Pascoe …. What an arsehole. Rude Rude Rude, and about as funny as foot rot. Met her at a mural friends party.

When I was little I met Patrick Moore, just as scatty as he appears but he was really nice to us all. Talked to us and listened to our babbling, seemed like a nice man.

None of their post makes sense.

🤣🤣🤣

David Attenborough is LOVELY really lovely. My Daughter wrote to him a one-way letter about his programme. She got a handwritten beautiful personalised letter back to her and her brother within 4 days................totally unexpected and delightful.
My friend did a cartoon of him in the NH museum and sent it to him and likewise.
Have also met DH in person and he was lovely and gave his water to someone else. His WIFE not his partner died a long time ago -25/30 years.
