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've always disliked Michaela Strachan, too. Soz Smile

Bill Patterson
Billy Connolly

Adrian Edmondson can be unpleasant

Catquest1 · 20/10/2019 18:13

Bernard Cribbins.

He always seems so lovely.

Frangipane · 20/10/2019 18:14

Nobody is universally liked. Personally, I found Terry Wogan a complete embarrassment, and Olivia Colman, whilst a fine actress, is far too giggly and self effacing for my liking.

Cannot bare Adele

Mrsjayy · 20/10/2019 18:15

I imagine Ade Edmundson to bea bit prickly same with Jennifer Saunders but I suppose these people are human and can't be nice all of the time.

Gillian Anderson

Caroline Quentin

Maya Rudolph? Oh yes! Love her.

Do not love Fiona Bruce and can't stick Neil Oliver.

Frangipane · 20/10/2019 18:17

I forgot my nomination (though I know it will bring out haters somewhere!)

IMO Kate Winslet comes across as very down to earth and pleasant. I don't have much interest in knowing celebrities, but if I had to know anyone, I would like it to be her.

Tom hanks
David Attenborough

missmouse101 · 20/10/2019 18:19

Michaela Strachan does my nut. All that incessant grinning.

Abraid2 · 20/10/2019 18:20

I met a very polite young man at a wedding. He chatted to us and showed a lot of interest in our not very thrilling lives and I saw him talking to lots of people who weren’t very young or glamorous.

It was Freddy Fox. Obviously very well brought up.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/10/2019 18:23

DS can't bear the sound of David Attenborough's voice and thus he has been banned from our house (Attenborough not DS).

Andahelterskelterroundmylittle · 20/10/2019 18:23

Def not Will Smith 🤔
Innate goodness must shine forth like David Attenborough... he is the standard by which all should be judged

missmouse101 · 20/10/2019 18:23

Dawn French

Andahelterskelterroundmylittle · 20/10/2019 18:24

P.s Denzil Washington is a bit of a dick sadly

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 20/10/2019 18:25

@SaskiaRembrandt WHY DO YOU NOT LIKE OLIVIA COLMAN Shock HAVE YOU NO SOUL?

MrsGrindah · 20/10/2019 18:26

I haven’t heard of quite a few of these people!

katseyes7 · 20/10/2019 18:27

l second Keanu Reeves. l've never heard/seen a bad word about him.

derxa · 20/10/2019 18:29

Fiona Bruce Matt - the One Show/Countryfile Clare Balding
I can't stand any of the above. Bland BBC bots

katseyes7 · 20/10/2019 18:29

l liked Ade Edmondson until l saw him on one of those 'afternoon' programmes where he was going round the country. Seemed a bit of an arse, to be honest.

LynetteScavo · 20/10/2019 18:29

Dermot O'Leary

Mollpop · 20/10/2019 18:30

Holly Willoughby

MarshaBradyo · 20/10/2019 18:31

Keanu and Dolly in the lead (actually just assuming Dolly by lack of detractors) and haven’t counted

Some of these people I don’t love just meh
Fiona Bruce for example

Many I don’t know

Beacauseisaidso · 20/10/2019 18:32

Why don't people like Sandi Toksvig? Amazing woman.
