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.

Whoever mentioned the Siddiquis first - I think you have a winner.

Who are they?

Bozlem80 · 21/10/2019 17:28

David Jason
Bradley Walsh
Keanu Reeves
Noel Fielding

The lovely Noel Fielding

Sorry to say that NF is far from lovely IRL. He gate crashed a friend’s party a few years ago, acted like a complete arsehole and drew all over her pictures and walls because he was being “wacky”. She was completely unamused and had to sort out all the damage. A proper dickhead.

My vote is for Sanjeev Bhaskar and Meera Syal. Genuinely lovely and beloved.

MrsFig · 21/10/2019 17:31

The ageless wonder that is Paul Rudd!

Colin Firth
Claire Balding
David Attenborough
Michael Palin
Philip Schofield
John Craven
David Lloyd ( Bumble) from the world of cricket
Andi Peters

@Underyoursky we saw Graham Norton at the barbers once and waved. He looked really cross and stuck his fingers up at us. Still love him though 😂

DarlingNikita · 21/10/2019 17:38

Can't bear Monty Don. He always sounds smug. Shock I ADORE him.

And it's actually illegal to dislike Dolly Parton, isn't it?

I love Joanna Lumley for her tour de force in Ab Fab, but she's a family friend of Boris Fucking Johnson and was involved in the Garden Bridge fiasco, so I'm conflicted Sad

I'm convinced Michael Sheen is a thoroughly decent person too.

I'm a bit over Olivia Colman and her 'ooh what, little me?' schtick.

DarlingNikita · 21/10/2019 17:39

Oh, and I know someone who knows someone (!!) who went out with David Tennant yonks ago and he wasn't very nice.

Kidlacky · 21/10/2019 17:39

Donald Trump?

I met Graham N (years ago and in a room full of people, admittedly) and he was very sweet, warm, naturally funny but a bit overwhelmed that a room full of people had turned out just to see him. I liked him.

I’m with you I can’t stand Dolly Parton - squeaky false midget. Has a book scheme & pretends she wants more kids to read - yet charges for it, so the kids she’s aiming it at can’t actually afford it. I just don’t understand the point of her.

Or, Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole, any of little mix, Richard Branson & basically any tory. That was a longer list than I expected 😜

David Jason is unpleasant in real life.

xanderllama · 21/10/2019 17:46

Angela Lansbury, Vera Lynn, Betty White, Olivia De Havilland etc. Smile

Wacawaca19 · 21/10/2019 17:48

DarlingNikita I totally agree about Olivia Colman.

louderthan1 · 21/10/2019 17:49

Joanna Lumley is a rape apologist. Comments about girls going out in short skirts and getting drunk 🙄

So is Mirren: pretty sure I read an interview with her where she referred to date rape as 'a grey area'

HT85 · 21/10/2019 17:50

@lionsonplanes assuming you mean Dave Grohl

Kylie Minogue?! She is dreadful! Although I don’t HATE her.

fib88 · 21/10/2019 17:52

Dermot O'Leary

I'm with leckford - cannot bear Will Smith and son - words cannot express my dismay they're still in the public eye.
