Stacey Solomon, Ewan McGregor, Fearne Cotton!

@frenchfancy81 my husband had a night out with Ewan McGregor. He was really nice but likes a bit of coke, I think about 2005.

Steve Backshaw, I think, he one that does deadly 60? Really nice!

Nicola from girls aloud, very nice and normal northern girl. Had a meal out, she was lovely.

Sir Ranulph Fiennes, so so nice! first thing he did was make a joke about his fingers. then refused to stay in a hotel the company paid for, so he could sleep in his car to be with his dog

Jason Bateman - always loved him as an actor and loved everything he's been in. Be devastated to find out he's horrible in rl,

Tom Cruise - he's known to be nice to fans, interested in what he's like with staff.

Morgan Freeman - he's got such presence on screen, hope he's nice in rl,

Prince William - always sensed he was a decent sort (never had a good sense about Harry and don't believe the cheating rumours) so would like to know if he squeezes his own toothpaste and ties his own shoes, as opposed to his Dad who needs a servant to do it apparently.

Robert Downey Junior, Chris Evans and Henry Cavill - all gorgeous and would hate to think they're knobs.

Morgan Freeman is the only one from that list who I would be surprised to find was not nice.

What do you mean it wasn't 'rape' rape? A child can not consent to any sexual contact

“It wasn’t ‘rape’ rape” was the phrase used by Whooping Goldberg to excuse Roman Polanski’s horrific sexual abuse of a child.

That poster was agreeing with my earlier post, not with WG’s morally reprehensible stance.

😍

My kind of man . . . anybody who puts his dog's anxiety above his own comfort is definitely my kind of man.

Oh right. I didn't know. I apologise as I thought they was excusing it.

I have absolutely no words for Whoopi

Jason Bateman still a dick for putting PR over Jessica Walter's feelings and minimising/speaking over her.
Morgan Freeman still a dick for making female colleagues uncomfortable, calling a pregnant woman ripe etc (8 complaints).

Plumbear2 · 23/10/2022 13:52

Matt Smith. He comes across as a sweet younger brother.

I have met two of my teenage heroes - John Conteh and Valerie Leon Both delightful people.

When I was a kid we used to watch Bergerac (sp?) And my mum was a massive fan. We were on holiday in Jersey and we saw him in a restaurant we were eating at. We asked mum if she was going to speak to him but she said no as it was rude to interrupt his meal but kept glancing over at him ....so I missed the opportunity to find out! (Maybe luckily?)

Yeah I was hoping to read some nicer tales about him on this thread tbh 😩

Fair enough - I didn't know that.

Good!

I love Richard Ayoade.

I know someone who worked with him and really liked him also

Billy Connolly.
Was a regular in our town for many years.
He was always approachable and happy to have photos taken. Had a kind attitude and always had a kind word. A great man.

So glad to hear good things about Billy Connolly.

Christopher Ryan who played Mike in The Young Ones was very sweet to a teenage me when I wrote him fan letters from boarding school.... He wrote back twice... ☺ ☺ ☺

So pleased, I love the young ones and would be heart broken if any of the cast weren't very nice.

Some of these suggestions are people clutching at straws😂 Steve Coogan is famously an arsehole I don’t know anyone who’s worked with him who’s had a good word to say about him. Ditto David Jason. Madonna was on my friends flight recently I don’t know if vile is the way to describe her but she spoke to no one and kept her hood up. Had her own chef with her. And her entourage sat further back, I’m glad she wasn’t on a private plane though.
