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.

Alan Titchmarsh - what's not to like - just a normal bloke who doesn't take himself too seriously.

Tom Hanks

A couple of people mentioned Michael Sheen. I’ve met him a couple of times and can confirm that he is, indeed, 100% pure loveliness.

Also love David A, Dave Grohl, Dolly Parton and lots of others on here.

Shocked about the Terry Wogan/Paul Gambaccini thing. I like PG and that wasn’t nice of TW.

Victoria Wood, Sue Perkins and her comedy pal Mel Giedroyc who comes across as possible the nicest person on earth. Her Magic Radio Show (now sadly finished) and Taskmaster really painted her as impossibly lovely.

Katy Wix and Lee Mack

Tom Cruise can send as much cake as he likes to interviewers to make himself look good. Still won't have anything to do with his youngest kid though will he. What a guy.

Mrsjayy · 21/10/2019 19:56

His scientology is weird i think Suri is well out of it and it is a cult TC needs to break free of himself imo

Purplealienpuke · 21/10/2019 19:57

Rylan gives me the hump, irritating little nobody.....

Kathy Burke is a good sort. Straight talking.
Stephen Fry I like.
Bradley Walshe seems nice.

If anyone remembers Johnny Morris??? He wasn't nice people.... made me cry as a kid, fucker

CottonHeadedNinyMuggins · 21/10/2019 19:59

Thought of another - Joe Pasquale. He seems thoroughly bloody lovely

TheLateMrsSteveMcDonald · 21/10/2019 20:00

After watching Mortimer and Whitehouse Gone Fishing, they both seem absolutely lovely

Nicolastuffedone · 21/10/2019 20:02

Sir Trevor McDonald. I love Trevor.

FadingStar · 21/10/2019 20:08

Trudi, I seem to remember that there was a very unsavoury story doing the rounds about Hugh Bonneville some years ago.

FreeBedForFlys · 21/10/2019 20:16

Thing is, it’s not as if Tom Cruise frantically checks just diary every day to make sure he hasn’t forgotten to send a cake. There’ll be no actual effort involved from him. It’ll be a matter of telling his PA/secretary “Make sure anyone who ever interviews me gets a cake on his/her birthday” or whatever. Whoopee-fucking-doo 😏

PinkPanther27 · 21/10/2019 20:17

Dave Grohl

Cupola · 21/10/2019 20:18

My partners mum, who is otherwise a wonderful woman, can't stand David Attenborough or his voice! I do rib her about it

RedRec · 21/10/2019 20:21

How could I have forgotten Joe Pasquale? Lovely guy.
(I mentioned Bradley Walsh and Rylan).
Just saw Mr Tumble on The One Show tonight and he was lovely too!

di2004 · 21/10/2019 20:22

John Craven - our Countryfile hero!

QuinoaWest · 21/10/2019 20:23

Brian May.

The man's compassion personified.

di2004 · 21/10/2019 20:28

Oh and James May .. he seems like a really nice fella!

EleanorReally · 21/10/2019 20:31

Matt Damon
Rag & bone man

do not like Dermot O dreary

SlothRunner · 21/10/2019 20:33

Cannot stand Ant and Dec. They are just not funny, cant watch anything with them on

smilingontheinside · 21/10/2019 20:36

Russell Howard love him. Read about people meeting celebs and being disappointed but everyone who had bumped into him says he's lovely. Cant stand Lenny Henry (got much too political no longer funny) , like Mary Berry but have read that she is a tyrant. Cant stand Ricky Gervais and again read that those that have met him say he's an arrogant knob but he is an advocate for animals so must have some good. Must be one of a small minority that dont like Tom Hanks. Do like Judi Dench and Billy Connoly 😊

GlomOfNit · 21/10/2019 20:36

I propose ... John Barrowman. Cheesier than cheddar these days but still a honey and he is lovely to everyone. Have fond memories of stage-dooring him back in his DW/Torchwood days when he did panto at Christmas and he was a combination of genuinely friendly, wicked and chilled.

Nobody hates him and if anyone pops up here to say they do, I'll come and find you! Grin

Fallenmadonnawiththebigboobies · 21/10/2019 20:38

Jane Fonda & Lily Tomlin - legends.
