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.

I lold watching Graham Norton he thought the Tom cruise cake was a myth but all his staff just ate it and didn't keep him a slice 😀

@MockersthefeMANist Totally agree that his private life is shaky at best but professionally he seems to be exemplary.

Lou12124 · 21/10/2019 18:20

Holly Willoughby

AndAnotherNameChanger · 21/10/2019 18:22

Sorry to burst your bubbles but I don't like any of the following:

David Attenborough
Louis Theroux
Tom Hanks
Ellen
Benedict Cumberbatch

Bob Hoskins.. one of my faves.

Also, Joanna Lumley.. she's a legend.

Adam Hills - he gave hugs in the foyer in exchange for donations to a cancer charity after a gig. I was in a very dark, terrible place with a very real cancer scare at the time and he was so kind and was generally lovely.

I met Michaela Strachan at an event last year, and she was lovely. She'd had a long- haul flight, got held up in traffic, waited for two hours to give a presentation and then spent ages meeting & greeting fans. Not for one moment was she snappy, impatient, impolite, or anything other than pleasant and enthusiastic.
DH recently met Steve Backshall who was a "top bloke" staying three hours beyond the finish of a book signing thing because "people have queued for hours and it's rude to disappoint them."

Rik Mayal and Alan Rickman, sadly both departed, but never heard of read a bad word about either.

browneyes77 · 21/10/2019 18:29

I detest all of the following people:

Sandy Toksvik
Benedict Cumberbatch
Ed Sheeran
James Corden
Olly Murs (never liked him anyway and then a friend met him once and said he was an arsehole, which only confirmed my thoughts Grin)

onefootinthegrave · 21/10/2019 18:29

Jake Quickendon - my son met him on the tube and he was really lovely to him. DS has stammer and aspergers and it took him a while to get his words out, but he was very kind and sounded really genuine and down to earth.

Bluerussian · 21/10/2019 18:30

I like everyone who has been mentioned here. Who can I add?

Rob Rinder is adorable, very kind.
Jimmy Osmond is apparently one of the kindest men in show biz, he certainly does seem that way.

UkuleleRose · 21/10/2019 18:35

Jennifer Garner

HT85, yes I realized that I had messed up with a typo after I posted. I just hoped that people would know what I was on about. You did, so it all worked out.

maddiemookins16mum · 21/10/2019 18:37

Ken Bruce.

cheesemumma · 21/10/2019 18:37

Yes to Hugh jackman and dwayne Johnson ❤️❤️❤️

Santiago1 · 21/10/2019 18:37

Steve Buscemi. Love him.

TSSDNCOP · 21/10/2019 18:38

I totally love the Rock. Such a versatile actor! If he’s not a nice guy IRL I’d be gutted.

Fibrofighter · 21/10/2019 18:40

Holly Willoughby

Although I don't understand why she enjoys being on Celebrity Juice, I know her hubby produces it but it's utter trash!!!

Elsie1966 · 21/10/2019 18:44

Sean Connery
Michael canine
Dame Judi Dench
Tom Hanks
But I do not like Bruce Willis, won't watch his films he Always got same smug look even if he playing a serious role Sad

Bloomburger · 21/10/2019 18:45

DH looks like Louis Theroux and I love both of them.

Used to work for a private bank which bankrolled Lock Stock. Guy Ritchie was lovely and always chatty and polite but both Sting and Matthew Vaughan were utter c*nts.

LizzyMac40 · 21/10/2019 18:46

My favourites are

Steve Backshall
Aldo Kane
Sir David Attenborough
Micky Dolenz(had the privilege of meeting him years ago)
Mary lynn Rajskub (Chloe in 24, hilarious comedienne)
Nathan Fillion
Stana Katic
Daniel Craig

Elsie1966 · 21/10/2019 18:51

Paul O'Grady
Ken Bruce
Fiona Bruce
Martin Freeman
Did I mention that I don't like Bruce Willis Wink

Trudij123 · 21/10/2019 18:53

Hugh Bonneville ? ( sorry, havent RTFT )

I know Anthony Stewart Head from pre Gold Blend days - I sat on his lap from Hyde Park stables back to my aunts house covered in Thames water after rescuing a dog - he didn’t bat an eyelid and I was smitten from then!!

purplepalace · 21/10/2019 18:53

The PP who suggested Tom Cruise must've misread the thread title 'celebrities nobody seems to like'

?

MachineBee · 21/10/2019 18:54

Julie Walters
Victoria Wood
Claudia Winkleman - she just doesn’t take herself too seriously
Ann Jones (Wimbledon champion) - opened our local tennis club after a refurb refused a fee or expenses, gave the juniors a knock on the courts and asked if we could find a reliable youngster to look after her dog because she didn’t want to leave him in her car for too long. A lovely lady.
