Celebrities that nobody seems to dislike

This will probably bring people out the woodwork to say they hate so and so celebrity but who are the ones that you never really hear a bad word said about them? My nomination is: Dolly Parton.

David Attenborough?! I know MN worships him, but a lot of people who have worked with him loathe him - ill mannered, user, prima donna, do you know who I am etc

(I know a lot of cameramen and producers)

My MiL couldn’t stand Terry Wogan. She said he was an embarrassment to Ireland (nope me neither 🤷‍♀️) my parents on the other hand cried when he died.
How about Dave Grohl - everyone seems to love him.
Maggie Smith
Cillian Murphy can seem to do no wrong.

AmethystWoodstar · 20/10/2019 19:04

Yeah Craig Charles a bad'un

Emma Forbes, I met her a couple of times and she was lovely.

Not Alan Rickman, he makes me cry every Christmas Grin

Neil Oliver’s spoilt many a good documentary for me. Can’t listen to him.

RickOShay · 20/10/2019 19:06

An alternative to David Attenborough, Ray Mears? Seems a decent bloke.

goodforbrian · 20/10/2019 19:06

I don't know how to tag people but can the poster who said 'sadly Denzel Washington is a dick' please explain themselves! I've never heard a bad word about the gorgeous man, say it isn't so! Swoon again 😍

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 20/10/2019 19:07

Yes to Tom Hanks and Keanu Reeves.

Also Alan Davies?? I can't imagine him being a bad 'un? Please don't tell me otherwise Sad

Luficer · 20/10/2019 19:08

Another vote for Paul Rudd.

quickentheprocess · 20/10/2019 19:08

Tom Hardy

AllFourOfThem · 20/10/2019 19:09

Yes to Keanu Reeves and The Rock. Also Luke Perry.

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/10/2019 19:09

Ray Mears is a self-important arse.

RickOShay · 20/10/2019 19:10

Grin that made me laugh

awaynboilyurheid · 20/10/2019 19:10

Can’t stand Holly Willoughby totally vacuous she laughs so much at the not unfunny Alison Hammond , another pain! How on earth did she get a job totally annoying and talentless.

My vote Matt Baker , but no doubt someone will come along and say he is a kitten kicker.

RickOShay · 20/10/2019 19:10

I believe you btw
How do you know?

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 19:11

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo I'm sure I remember a thread a couple of years back, one of those 'celebs who are nice or not' threads, and someone said he was in a restaurant the poster worked at and was one of those 'don't you know who I am?' celebs. Sorry Grin

WombleishofThigh · 20/10/2019 19:12

I don't see the point of Rylan, everything about him is fake.

TheDogsMother · 20/10/2019 19:12

Didn’t James Blunt get hell for a long time

awaynboilyurheid · 20/10/2019 19:15

Didn’t Alan Davis fall out with his wife’s sister Nadia Sawalha for putting a wedding picture in the press and caused a lot of problems between the sisters? He did not come over well , totally controlling and nasty .

EmmiJay · 20/10/2019 19:15

I forgot Angelica Bell. Easily the best looking woman with the most love and light personality on tv. I loved her on Celebrity Masterchef.

Also, I have never heard a bad word about Will Smith. His instagram is full of joy and funny as heck. His kids and wife all seem so content. I don't understand Confused

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/10/2019 19:19

I love Angelica Bell, I wish she was on the tv more.

Whatwouldbigfatfannydo · 20/10/2019 19:19

Aw bloody hell!! Thanks for the heads up though...seems there's no good ones left.

I'm going with Malala Yousafzai. Not a celeb through the 'traditional' channels but definitely the sort of woman this world needs!
