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.

Love Dolly Parton.

I've been listening to R2 for the last couple of days and would love to hang out with Daniel Bedingfield. Also Andrew Scott, Claire Foy and Paul Mescal are the dream team.

Sorry in advance for bursting your Peter Kay bubble. A friend of mine books comedy acts for a living. PK is the most difficult by far. Nicest is Johnny Vegas!

Re: Brian May. I once met him in a coffee shop. Ran up to him, told him I loved him and the work he does with a certain animal. Showed him my work badge which showed my surname (the animal) and ran away cackling.

2 days later I’m sat in a cafe in Kings Cross and who comes and sits at the table next time me??? And instead of looking in horror at the woman who had previously accosted him, smiled at me and said the animal name! I love him.

Are you the one and only Ruth Badger from the Apprentice? Grin

Dave Grohl is a Prince among men. A real good egg.

Suprised no one has mentioned Keanu Reeves. One of those people you keep hearing stories about their generosity but refuses to acknowledge it if someone finds out.

A few people have now, myself included

JMSA · 24/01/2024 19:53

There's lots I think, but Keanu Reeves is the person who jumped out at me when I read the thread title.

JMSA · 24/01/2024 19:52

Have just seen a photo of Dave Grohl serving food to the homeless. It's obvious that he was completely unaware it was being taken.

I;m betting my life savings on Steve Pemberton ( Inside No9 , League of Gents, Whitechapel, Happy Valley and lots more ) being utterly lovely .

GlazeAway · 24/01/2024 19:42

Rod Stewart (and Penny Lancaster)everything I've read about them has been positive.

KarenNotAKaren · 24/01/2024 19:31

God no wonder I’m confused, reading this thread I’ve been mixing up Martin Sheen and Michael Sheen!

So on that note to answer the OP: Michael Sheen! What a wonderful man he is and even though he could be a millionaire if he fancies he gives away almost all his earnings

Maybe, but then that applies equally to playing President Bartlet. He’s an actor, he’s not that person.

Charlie Sheen is a convicted woman beater, not just an ‘idiot’. That’s not necessarily Martin’s fault, but it does raise some questions about how he was raised.

Show quote history

No, it doesn't really. He's been married for 60 odd years, has other children (at least one famous, Emilio) who attract no negative attention and has a pretty good civil rights/causes record.

Unless you think Charlie Sheen's well known issues and felonies are entirely down to his parents fault?

Re Martin Sheen-agreed. I don't see how playing "angry, troubled or creepy characters" effectively makes you anything but a good actor.

Her name is apparently Moira Kelly and she seems to have lead a blameless life, voiced Nala in Lion King.

Poor woman, so badly written/irritating/promoting of homicidal mania in WW that she must have been drowning in that part!

Yeah. Although, no such thing as bad publicity and all that!

I've never seen her in anything else i don't think. But i would bristle if i did. Such a terrible part, idk what they were trying to 'achieve' with her. Must google her to see what else she's been in!

At least the West Wing fans hatred is confined to a totally fictional character!😂

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.

Definitely Ian Hislop. I met him at a wedding a few years ago and have had a crush on him ever since. He was so polite and charming and laughed at all my jokes. Made me feel amazing.
