Celebs that give you good vibes

Just in the interests of balance, following a previous thread about negative vibes, AIBU to ask which celebrities have you NOT met but when you watch or listen to them you get a really positive vibe from them? Mine would be Dolly Parton, Craig Revel Horwood, Ian Hislop and Tom Hanks. They just come across to me as genuine good people.

Jon Culshaw, Bob Mortimer, Judy Dench & Julie Walters for me.

Kathy Burke (she's so down to earth and sort of feels like she could be a cool aunt)

Would second Bob Mortimer, his stories are ridiculous and just excellent

I also like Alison Hammond, she comes across as a genuine Brummie lass and her laugh makes me laugh!

Also yes yes to Dolly Parton, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley

Oh I don't need to post. You've put all of mine down for me lol

@Grittybum What gave you that idea? 😉😂

I would also say Dolly Parton, Ryan Reynolds and Joanna Lumley. 😊

Diane Keaton and Helena Bonham Carter - both walk to the beat of their own drum, have strong sense of style and give zero fucks as to anyone else's negative opinions! Brilliant humour. Bet they make great confidantes. A night out with them, individually or together, would be epic. WineWine

Judi Dench - need I say more?

Maggie Aderin-Pocock - kickass space scientist and dyslexia campaigner. Comes across as upbeat and cheery to the nth degree.

I'm willing to bet my last Rolo that Bill Bailey, IRL, is as affable and genuinely likeable as he seems.

Tamsin Grieg ditto.

Sneaking suspicion that Dylan Moran would be a top bloke, too. Possibly quiet and unassuming. Happy letting other people take the limelight.

I may have dwelt on all this too much since Black Books.

Clarich007 · 24/01/2024 22:48

Keanu Reeves.

Polly291869 · 24/01/2024 22:44

Typical bloody Trump.

"Bigmouth Strikes Again" or "Miserable Lie" surely more fitting for him anyway?

Alexander Armstrong. He just comes across as a totally lovely good egg. I see so many stories of shitty lazy awful men who won’t even change nappies and sit on their Xbox while their wife struggles. It’s like a pandemic of crap men! But I bet AA is the type happy to do all the night feeds, dishes, cleaning etc and didn’t behave like a martyr over it. I bet he tells his wife she looks lovely all the time and buys her chocolate when she has PMS. (I may have overthought this, I just adore him!)

It helps that he’s easy on the eye.

aww my DP is like this

misses point of thread entirely

Met Dave Grohl and Trent Reznor backstage when I was doing a review of the latest NIN tour for a small magazine in my early 20s. Genuinely lovely people.

Also met David Tennant and Catherine Tate a couple of times. Both really lovely and warm. Though Catherine Tate is actually quite shy.

Dolly Parton, Stacey Solomon and Nigella Lawson all come across are really kind people.
