ken bruce
Michael Sheen
david tennant
Ben whishaw

I'd cry if I saw evidence that Ben Whishaw wasn't nice.
He's one of those people I like but almost dislike slightly too because he comes across as a bit TOO nice Grin

I was just about to say "has anyone said Tony Robinson yet" ...

Roger Federer and Benedict Cumberbatch. They both seem kind of guys I would fall for in real life, so I wouldn’t like to now they’re complete bastards.
But I always imagine celebrities like coke addicted bastards who are awful to their cleaners and never spend a minute with their children unless it is for photo shoot.
I know, I know, I’m a cynical bastards, but I can’t help my self.

Michael Palin.
I LOVE all of his shows and books. He seems so warm i would be gutted to hear if he was horrid in real life.
I doubt he is though, i think hes genuinely how he is on tv. Thank goodness!

Also David Attenbrough.

I can't think of any others though. I'm an old cynic.

@BuryingAcorns No...I'm guessing not well? Sad I thought his 'I love animals' persona might've meant he was a generally lovely person, he always comes across well in interviews etc.

@liveforsummer

maybe look into where you heard that.

he's a friend's friends very close friend and by all accounts lovely, my friend has met him a few times & I trust her judgement.

Catterbat · 20/10/2022 11:50
