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.

I adore Dermot O'Leary. Seems like such a lovely person x

Agree. I saw him once and was staring! He was really cool and just said hi with a big smile.

"And isn't Mandy" 😂😂😂😂😂 that poor actress!

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

I will admit that if someone is in the west wing and isn't Mandy I like them, but Martin Sheen genuinely seems nice.

I think a lot of people would say this, but I find it strange. I think West Wing fans sometimes see him as really being President Bartlet, but if you go back in his career before that he played a lot of angry, troubled or creepy characters. He’s talked about struggling with alcoholism. He produced Charlie Sheen. I think he obviously does have nice qualities, like playing a gay character sympathetically very long before that was a fashionable thing for straight actors to do, but I don’t think he’s just a nice, uncomplicated person.

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Absolutely no experience of them at all other than through the media, but they just seem so nice.

I didn't say he was uncomplicated? I do think he's an intelligent man, who has integrity. It's not entirely his fault his son is an idiot. I'm sure all of the people mentioned above have flaws.

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

Brian may seems a good shout too!

I have met him. He's also very tall as well as nice, kind, and clever.

I loved Fred Sirieux on first dates, I don't think he came across nearly as well on I'm a celebrity
