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.

Keith, Rich and Siobahn from Pottery Throw down.
Jay Blades and the Teddy Bear Ladies from repair shop, actually all of them from repair shop.
The two loveliest programmes on TV.

I'm interested in the overlap of this thread and the other- as some here are people who deeply trouble me for no definable reasons.

My good vibes are Matt tebbut, Maggie smith, jenni Murray and Germaine Greer.

Germaine Greer! I LOVE Germaine Greer! 🥰

I’ve worked with Miriam Margolyes and she is the exact opposite of how you think she’s going to be in real life. Still lovely though.

same for Bob Mortimer. He’s just a diamond

ooh am intrigued – what’s the expectation and what’s the opposite?! I have seen her on some longer-form programmes, where she was not the main subject (so less frenetic than say a chat show and less pressure to perform) and she seemed very calm and warm and thoughtful – not like the caricature you see on GN

PabloPawcasso · 24/01/2024 00:39

Second Ian Hislop and ofc the queen of queens Dolly Parton.

To add, Davina McCall, Claudia Winkelman, Sara Cox, Paul Brunson, David Schwimmer, Trisha Goddard, Sinita, Steve Lamacq, Jamie Dornan, Graham Norton, Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church, Julia Roberts

Ben Fogle, he seems like a really nice, down to earth guy.

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.

I didn't like the other post as felt it was a witch hunt of gossip, but there are a few names on here I just don't like (but not in a ergh, creepy vibe way)

Brian May.
Talented, intelligent, runs an animal rescue in his garden and my dad who has met him confirms that he's very kind.

Oh I agree. Good one!
