Taylor Swift.

Sure, people "luffs" her, but I think it's the result of genius-level PR to tap into a global female market. And I just don't think I'd be mates with someone who wanted to achieve that. Even her famed generosity seems like a calculated move, as was the naff "supermodel girl gang", and the PR the followed relationships.

(I recall that Tom H was "too keen on publicity" but then "Joe Alwyn was a welcome private retreat" then "oh, Joe was stifling her" which then became "Travis loves to shine with her" - so calculated. I believe Calvin Harris when he said it was her ambition to "bury" Katy Perry! It's all just a PR merry go round to hook in credulous types.)

I don't personally know about Taylor Swift and her previous "relationships" but there are certainly big name celebs who have paid other but lower level celebs to be "in a relationship" with them which is basically just being seen with them occasionally.

They do this for one of two reasons:

a) for the big name to boost their profile
b) for the big name to hide something or someone (such as their actual sexuality)

The lower level celebs agree not just for the money but to raise their own profile.

Literally came on to say the same.

Show quote history

Right! Just looking at the two of them in interviews, they are very much the 'secondary school cool crowd'

All those hot men she could've been with, but she, imo, has reverted to type and married someone just like her - a school bully

Sorry for being harsh, I dont know her and I am projecting

I've got to spend all season wearing an RW shirt now so it's a good job I do like Robbie.

Maddy70 · 06/08/2026 10:33

Interestingly I know Robbie personally and he really is lovely but I don't like his public persona

Louis Theroux - and several other privileged poshos who’s work I quite like, but on a personal level, find their over confident manner and wet accents jarring.

I love Louis but rewatched his weird weekend with poor Ann Widdecombe and he was ridiculously discourteous to her at points.

Alexander Zverev. Great tennis player but I have no interest in ever meeting him face to face.

I know a lot of people who have met and worked with his friend (Jonathan Wilkes) including my husband. Some of them didn;t get on with him but he has mellowed a lot as he has got older and my husband had no issue with him.

Robbie himself is apparently a really nice guy.

I love Robbie. I credit his wife with mellowing him

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · 06/08/2026 10:28

So, going through some of the names already mentioned who I know or have met more than once (as everyone can be having a shit day for a variety of reasons, they're no different to us)...

Jeremy Irons. Absolute misery of a man.

Simon Pegg. Not at all smug. Incredibly ordinary in the right way.

Emma Thompson. Thoroughly lovely, very warm, very funny and considerate.

Hannah Waddingham. Nice but has definitely hardened since she's become known outside of theatre. She was very warm when she was younger.

Miriam Margolyes. What you see is what you get. No filter and treats everyone the same whether they're a name or a cameraman. Genuinely cares about people unless they're a shit.

Elliot Page. Awesome actroresse whatever (never seen anything as a man) but I find the whole "not a lesbian anymore, now Im a man" very tedious and self-centered.

See, I think he’s an example of an actual trans person. He isn’t doing the whole I’m going to say I’m a they rather than she for attention or I’m gonna dress up as the opposite sex for cosplay for a bit like Sam Smith.

Another one saying Emma Thompson, she was really rude to Rowan Atkinson on a chat show.

Interesting, I’ve heard Rowan Atkinson is absolutely horrible to everyone he meets so…

I know someone who is a celeb stylist and she said Holly Willoughby is the rudest person she’s ever met. She also said Victoria Coren Mitchell was rude as fuck.

I don’t feel strongly about many celebs. I suspect I’d quite like Katie Price for some reason which my DH finds hilarious because we’re like chalk and cheese. I’ve always had a soft spot for her. I also like Michael Barrymore which is contentious I know but again, always had a soft spot for him.

Layton Williams.

People who have worked with hinm privately say he is not nice.

BeachLifeoOhLaLa · 06/08/2026 09:54

Beyoncé - I work in music and she is truly awful. Jay-Z is actually the more rational one, but still pretty awful too.

I have never liked Arianna Grande, her voice has always irritated me. My DD and DGD have always been huge fans.

I do though wish her all the best!

IdentifyingAsAWoollyMammoth · 06/08/2026 09:46

I knew this thread would be interesting as I work in the theatre industry and have a close friend in the film industry so I know some of the people who've been named reasonably well and some I've met a couple of times.

I agree with some above, Robbie Williams, undoubtedly arena level talented, but his energy feels so erratic. I don't dislike him, but he is unsettling. Madonna, talented enough to be a good performer, but any interview, Jesus if she could eat herself she would.

That will be the ADHD

the80sweregreat · 05/08/2026 20:30

It’s surprising that the ones with the big egos and so on sometimes do a lot for charity. Like Robbie Williams who set up ‘soccer aid ‘ with his friend. His probably hard work ( I can imagine) but his heart is in the right place.
