Which celebrity would you be gutted to find out was vile in real life?

[EachandEveryone]

Tom Hanks.

Tony Hart was lovely, exactly like you’d imagine. I met him when I was a teenager as my dad worked with him for years on VisionOn and Take Hart.

Phew!

There’s no way anyway working at the BBC then hadn’t been thoroughly looked at. If TH was a bad guy I think we’d know. At least I hope so.

Have also met Sue Perkins, she was great. Warm and funny, hugely likeable.

Robert Carlyle

I know a couple of people who've spoken to Warwick Davies and both said he was very rude and nasty to them🤭 most people say he's lovely so this always surprises people. The 2 people were both serving him (one in a shop, one dealing with his dilemma over the phone - neither of these people know each other) - maybe he's nicer when he's meeting fans and they both caught him on bad days😦

I was sad to discover that Stanley Tucci was a PITA on his food show.

Not at all vile, just a wazzock when he took over directing the end of it.

@Littledidsheknow

but what about Morph, eh???🤨

I am a huge Jarvis fan and got to meet him in about 1999. I approached him in a pub while he was surrounded by a big group of very cool and quirky London media types. He came away from the group to talk to me, sign my CD cover and have a photo taken. He was every bit as lovely as I’d hoped.

I knew it - I knew it. The man is beautiful inside and out

Chris Hemsworth 👀

Lovely to see the nice stories about David Attenborough and Michael Palin, both of whom have been on my dinner party list since forever! I would also add:

Damien Lewis
Dolly Parton
Jane Goodall
Ricky Gervais
J K Rowling
Paul Rudd
Jason Bateman
Keanu Reeves
Martin Lewis
Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds - they both came across as genuinely decent people in “Welcome to Wrexham”.

So happy to hear Richard E Grant has impressed people who’ve met him, I’m a big fan.

Morph was a PITA, but won't blame TH for that, and I doubt he had any skeletons in his cupboard.
Remember Morph also had a 'friend' in different coloured clay, who was even more annoying? Think he was called Chas!

I would be sad if Gromit turned out to be snappy and pissed everywhere.

It's worth bearing in mind that celebs have off days like the rest of us, however when there are multiple anecdotes about the same people being awful, there might be something in it.
My friend and I have hugely differing stories about meeting Marti Pellow (several years apart in different countries). She found him an arrogant arse, while he couldn't have been nicer for the few weeks he was a customer at my old job. I will never be convinced that he is anything other than an absolute sweetheart.

Wallace is sadly selfish and a bit of a user.

The few I like - Rick Edwards, Tamsin Greig, Monty Don, Greg Davies, Ken Bruce, Stephen Mangan and Joel Dommet.

Roger Federer
Richard E Grant
Stanley Tucci
David Tennant
Dame Judi Dench
Victoria Coren Mitchell

@ChocFrog One of my friends was a jobbing actor at the same time as Chris Hemsworth - they used to go to a lot of the same auditions. Obviously this was pre-fame, but he said he was a really nice guy - very friendly.

I'd be upset if Cillian Murphy was vile in real life. I never, ever hear anything bad about him though.

Also Pedro Pascal and Mark Ruffalo. My three main crushes!

Tom and Giovanna Fletcher

Re all creatures...old series or new one. One of the previous series actors trying to claw his way up a hospital queue saying...'do you know who I am?' Yes, you're a prick who is going to have to wait with everyone else

Jason Momoa.

He's like a big, messy sex puppy who seems so nice and everyone has only good things to say about.

Recently found out he'd had botched botox in his forehead and was surprised.

Would still have a bath with him though...😏

Sorry - ML is reputedly poisonous, not MM

Apologies
