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 think Victoria Wood once one a competition for people to name the sleb you would most like as your next-door neighbour, and I can definitely see why. Once you got past her shyness, wouldn't it have been great to pop round for a coffee with her?

Beveren · 23/10/2019 18:08

once one, FFS. once won, of course.

Julie Andrews, Judi Dench , Maggie Smith, Benadryl Cumberbatch, David Attenborough and I dont know if he is allowed as newsreader rather than a celebrity- Trevor Macdonald.

TheNavigator · 23/10/2019 18:18

I think Keanu Reeves has won this thread - I haven't read or heard a bad word about him (and he is sad and lovely).

Kathy Burke and Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson seem to be universally approved of as well.

MrsGrindah · 23/10/2019 18:27

Nope can’t get on with Kath Burke I’m afraid.

MrsGrindah · 23/10/2019 18:27

Dwayne Johnson never heard of him but that might be my fault not his!

NotEnoughTime · 23/10/2019 18:52

My DS and I met Stephen Mulhern and he was really lovely :)

I would have loved to have met Tony Hart RIP from Blue Peter, Take Hart etc . He seemed like a real 'Gentleman'. Did anyone on here know him?

orangeblosssom · 23/10/2019 19:04

Will Smith
Oprah
Michelle Obama

olbndansmummy · 23/10/2019 19:21

Adam Peatty is a lovely young man.
Quite a few years back we were at gatwick airport and Dennis Waterman was sitting nearby, Sent the dc to get his autograph and he was so lovely to them.
Definitely Keanu Reeves, Joanne Lumley, Dame Judi, Dame Maggie and Roger Moore

Samcro · 23/10/2019 19:21

Simon reeves just has to be nice and romesh ranganathan

BigStripeyBastard · 23/10/2019 19:25

This is a bit niche but Reece Dinsdale (Home to roost and Threads).
He is genuinely actually lovely and not one person can argue otherwise!
😆

looselegs · 23/10/2019 19:54

David Jason.
Such a nice bloke!

Littledidsheknow · 23/10/2019 20:06

This is a bit niche but Reece Dinsdale

I had a huge crush on him around 35 years ago!

Trudij123 · 23/10/2019 23:14

Reece Dinsdale is hugely active on twitter and is very lovely.

My cousin worked with Tony Hart on Hartbeat and other than him insisting her name was Gabriella which drove her nuts she said he was very nice.

Bluerussian · 23/10/2019 23:33

Guy Henry (Henrik Hanssen in Holby)

50cent met him through work, he was very charming, friendly and polite.

liv4357 · 24/10/2019 02:33

Sorry didn't read the title properly Blush ignore mine

Buttybach · 24/10/2019 03:34

Harry styles

MsTSwift · 24/10/2019 03:56

Hugh was friends with a former boss of mine who was very pleased with himself so I suspect Hugh similar so not him. Victoria Wood definitely
Brian May was a good friend to Freddie Mercury and seems generally nice
Annie Lennox

ladybird69 · 24/10/2019 04:10

Heard great things about Keanu Reeves. But have met Alan Carr he was a sweetie and Lee Evans a sweetheart too. Bloke who played inspector Linley was a bit of a lovey as was his wife but ok.

BlackBatInBloodSucking · 24/10/2019 04:47

This thread has helped me get through a long night!

Dieu · 24/10/2019 07:36

I'm amazed that I haven't yet come across Anthony Head on here. Mumsnetters usually rave about his niceness!

Love her or loathe her, I've never heard a bad word said about Taylor Swift. She's lovely apparently. As is Jarvis Cocker.

Dieu · 24/10/2019 07:38

Oops, my mistake re Anthony. I read on a bit, and he was mentioned.
