Nicest/not nice celebs.

Who is the nicest celeb you've met?

On the flip side who was not nice?

I had a friend who met Girl's Aloud after she won a competition.

They waited hours to met them, waiting for them to arrive.

Apparently Nadine was lovely, chatted and genuinely seemed interested to meet them.

Sarah & Nicola not so nice, very mardy and diva-ish.

Has anyone met Keanu Reeves?

He HAS to be lovely. Isn't he called the gent of Hollywood, or something like that ...

@Shufflebumnessie interesting you mention Richard fairbass- we were sat on next table to him in a cafe about 6 months ago- fascinating conversation- talk about fancied himself , really up his own backside !!!

Crikeyalmighty · 10/03/2023 19:19

@BitOutOfPractice ah I mentioned Alistair earlier- razor sharp and highly switched on but really empathetic and deep guy. I liked him a lot

Mamarama2u2 · 10/03/2023 19:20

I agree with this one! He groped my bum too the nasty little man!

MMUmum · 10/03/2023 19:20

Tina O'brien (Sarah from Corrie) was lovely when my daughter met her tecently in Manchester

Mamarama2u2 · 10/03/2023 19:21

That was re Greg Wallace by the way! Don’t know how to quote!

Some through work:

Ray Winstone - lovely and funny as fuck
Danny Dyer - lovely and smarter than you think
Liz Hurley - very friendly and quite naughty!
Damien Lewis - quite serious but really nice
Paul Anderson - completely brilliant. Proper 'lad' but intelligent and witty and really warm. We laughed till we cried.
Tom Conti - exactly how you imagine
Sir Richard Attenborough - Gorgeous and really listens to you. I wanted him to be my grandad
Charlotte Rampling: Friendly but quite floaty and bonkers
Guy Ritchie - Very likable and down to earth
Tom Hardy - Chatty, friendly and really normal
James Corden - RUDE ARSEHOLE
Miriam Marolyes - RUDE ARSEHOLE
Steve Coogan - Depends on the day of the week. I've been out in small groups where he's been part of the group a few times and he's been good fun and really friendly/chatty and on other occasions, a complete dick

Miriam Margolyes is my neighbour and is lovely. Batty but lovely.

Oh I didn’t see that but I’m glad you formed the same impression. I have so much time for him now.

Well when I say mr tumble, I actually mean Justin Fletcher the guy who plays him. I don't even think he actually likes the children he works with. Always looking at the camera and not genuinely interacting with the kids on his show something special.

Ahhh I can’t remember where I read this but I’ve seen it said that someone who once had a more adult interaction with him said he was very much “just-in” fletcher 😂🙈😂 might be why he’s got such a bad attitude 🙈🙈

"Mardy and diva-ish" is mean.

I totally agree, they shouldn't have behaved like that.

Robin Williams - NOT Robbie Williams. I want to make that clear. When Robin Williams took his own life I was as upset as you could be about a stranger. He was really kind and as funny as you'd think.

Robbie Williams was the opposite along with Denise Van Outen, Ulrika Jonsson and Vanessa Feltz. He's arrogant and boring and the women were nasty and insecure but probably very nice to men.

Alan Carr and Justin Lee Collins - man they were funny

Noel Gallagher - arrogant

Russell Brand - smelt amazing! And very engaging

Paolo Nutini - absolute delight

Delighted to hear Paolo is nice. Barbara Windsor was lovely and very funny. Charlie from Busted was really nice too. Only big celeb, at least at the time, was Sean Combs, who was also nice. Chatted to everyone and bought lots and lots of drinks.

Johnny Vegas was a little love - took another actress to task over being rude to my colleague

He must have changed then, as he was a complete twat many years ago. Very drunk, not at all funny, had a pregnant wife but wouldn’t take a hint or leave me alone, to the point I had to go and hide and get one of the guys who worked for me to deal with him.

maddiemookins16mum · 10/03/2023 19:34

Jill Dando. She was just so very, very lovely.

NaturaRagazza89 · 10/03/2023 19:43

@Movinghouseatlast Yes! I have hear he very same…that’s the worst type of celeb. And it’s so annoying when other famous people coo “oh, so and so is sooo nice“, and you’re like, yeah to you maybe because you’re also famous! So myopic.

Just a raging narcissist with zero talent (Little Britain was dog s*). Still I think his time has come

Zone2NorthLondon · 10/03/2023 19:43

Son Heung-min lovely, charming, time for fans esp kids
Robert peston really charming
michelle Collins very kind and great with children

Daisy95 · 10/03/2023 19:45

@JoanThursday1972
I mean the fact she was on a massive tv show for years does make her in fact a famous just because you don't known her does. When I saw her there was plenty of people asking for photos etc. so some people obviously knows who she is 😂😂 what a really rude and unnecessary comment..

Vicliz24 · 10/03/2023 19:45

Tony Hadley lovely but very drunk both times I've met him . Jarvis Cocker very polite and shy . Catherine Tate was incredibly funny and very very ordinary not even a whisper of anything starry . I danced with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer in a club after a gig and both were great.
Jimmy Saville led a sponsored walk I did as a kid and was absolutely vile .

Talapia · 10/03/2023 19:46

Chris Tarrant and Gary Rhodes used to support a local childrens charity. Really nice guys.

putchyrsg · 10/03/2023 15:25

I always think Stacey Solomon seems lovely - never met her but she seems like a good'un

I’ve worked with Stacey Solomon, she’s absolutely lovely. Really down to earth and exactly as she is on tv. Really apologetic and sweet when she had to inconvenience some of the junior staff

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 10/03/2023 19:52

@bazzabas

Who the hell are you do decree who is 'nice' and 'not nice'?

Are you Father Christmas?

Maybe people don't find your judgemental attitude to be very 'nice'.

Stressedafff · 10/03/2023 19:54

Phil Foden, massive chip on his shoulder and really really rude

Lovegossip · 10/03/2023 19:57

I met Robert Powell in a pub in London, he was the neighbour of the company owner I worked for, it was xmas and he was in good spirits said hi to everyone and was very chatty

Previously mentioned Chris Packham who I met aged 8 at a really wild show convention he was lovely as were Terry Nutkins and Michaela Strachan

I would love to meet Morgan Freeman, Sandra Bullock and Tom Hanks, I'd be 🥰

Rollonspring23 · 10/03/2023 20:03

Sallyhead · 10/03/2023 17:22

She was rude and pulled the whole ‘don’t you know who I am?’ crap to get what she wanted.

I’ve worked with her and she was lovely. Couldn’t have been more apologetic when she interrupted my work. Was exactly as I’d expected.

Emmelina · 10/03/2023 20:05

Anthony Hopkins, Ray Winstone, Chris Barrie, David Attenborough - all absolute sweethearts. Lovely lovely guys. Not met many ladies. Hattie Hayridge was amazing! Met her at an event and chatted with her for ages, felt like I’d known her forever.

Noel Edmonds - absolute cock.
