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.

Michaela Strachan

OK I've read the thread.
Yes yes yes to George Michael, Freddy Mercury and Hugh Jackman.
No no no to Sandi Toksvig, she's smug, patronising, talentless & irritating (& she can't spell "Sandy").
Note to Justlliloleme who says of Dolly Parton "I just don’t understand the point of her".

Here it is.
Dolly cheers up the day. She's amazingly talented - for example, she wrote the song "I will always love you" - among many others. She can act and sing and entertain. She doesn't take herself too seriously, and she shows girls everywhere that you can dress however you like, be a woman with big bazookas, and still be successful. She has her own theme park. And she shows that you don't have to be a bitch to get on in life. She's a survivor. She is fantastic.
Maybe I'm sticking my neck out but why has no-one mentioned Richard E Grant? He seems pretty nice.

And Moira Stuart? No-one's ever said anything bad about Moira.

Martina Navratilova, amazing sports star and not afraid to stand up for women's rights.

Alan Davies, is an absolute bastard.Some homeless man called him Jonathon Creek so he went upto him and bit half his ear off!. Also he had a reputation for being vile and horrible to work with.
Sue Perkins,also plenty has been said about her being very arrogant and up herself. Same with Matt Baker, who I think comes over as winging it and not knowing what hes talking about.

My best friend completely floored me when she told me that she couldn't bear Chris Martin (Coldplay)
what the f???? There is nothing to dislike about him whatsoever!

Iusedtofly · 21/10/2019 19:01

I’ve met Keanu Reeves ....lovely man. Very self effacing

Totally agree with you!! Just saying . . . .

bigmumsymcgraw · 21/10/2019 19:03

I like Alan Carr - think he would be a fun friend!

I will not allow anyone to bad mouth Stephen Colbert.

Elodie2019 · 21/10/2019 19:05

Ant, Dec, Holly W - I really don't like

kateandme · 21/10/2019 19:05

david a is wonderful

Elodie2019 · 21/10/2019 19:06

Oh and Olivia C... I hope she doesn't ruin TheCrown with her simpering voice & mannerisms.

kateandme · 21/10/2019 19:06

mariska hargitay is the best woman on the planet.

Jogonandshutup · 21/10/2019 19:09

leckford agree - I can’t stand Will Smith or his son!

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 21/10/2019 19:10

@Boysey45 I’ve heard that too but I’ve also heard he had a bit of an epiphany a few years back where be basically realised he could go fully down the arsehole route or get his act together?

Think having a wife and kid changed him massively.

Nonnymum · 21/10/2019 19:14

My DH can't Michael Caine.
I vote for Judi Dench, Alison Steadman, Bill Nighy., Michael Palin, Maggie Smith and Lenny Henry

Nonnymum · 21/10/2019 19:14

And of course Victoria Wood.

Iusedtofly · 21/10/2019 19:14

Oh,and Trevor Macdonald. Jennifer Aniston,Nanette Newman and husband Bryan Forbes and loads more. Am former cabin crew for major airline. You can tell a lot about someone by the way they are towards staff on a flight,in a restaurant etc etc
I can think of a few who wouldn’t make it on my list e.g CIlla B. Renowned 😠

Candymay · 21/10/2019 19:15

What about Bros? Come on- after that Christmas special last year! You’ve got to love the earnestness.

Bloomburger · 21/10/2019 19:18

Martin Freeman is an utter tosser. Was going to let his wife go bankrupt as to not to have to cough up £120k until the press got hold of the story.

Mrsjayy · 21/10/2019 19:21

Dh is watching an old QI and Sarah millican is on and she is a good sort even if you don't like her comedy she is a kind soul !

Nonnymum · 21/10/2019 19:21

I really don't like Joanna Lumley. I isn't know why though. I just find her very annoying.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/10/2019 19:23

Richard Osman.

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 21/10/2019 19:26

Bradley Walsh, Alexander Armstrong, Colin Firth, John Le Mesurier, Paul O'Grady, Lee Evans, Rik Mayall (Apparently an acquired taste as he liked to be unsettling when meeting him but never unpleasant), Greg Davies, Alex Horne (who created a special meeting for fans of Taskmaster and was visually overwhelmed when people actually arrived, never mind the fact that it was literally a good couple of thousand (know someone who went) he was LOVELY and couldn't do enough for every person there!)

Allegedly Jimmy Carr is very different from his comedy persona and is a lovely person from what I hear.
