Barry Scott from the Cillit Bang advert opened my local Range shop and is really nice!
Just goes to prove what people often say, that the huge megastars know they have nothing to prove and thus can show the here-today-gone-tomorrow d-listers how kindly they should behave

Fucking hell, can you imagine what it's like to be asked to have your photo taken while you are doing your shopping? I think it's people like you who have high opinions of yourself , believing that people should do what you want simply because you have seen them on the telly!
Regardless of whether Will Young as an individual is nice/neutral/nasty, I think, in principle, this is really something to bear in mind – as the poster did say that he’d only just become a recognised public figure. I also completely agree that there’s a massive difference between just wanting to be left alone when you’re not working (especially when you’re out with your kids/family) and shouting/screaming/being demanding as your default.
I can well see how, when it’s all new to you, you would find suddenly being recognised by strangers scary and overwhelming and SOME naturally introverted people (obviously by no means all) may react very off as a defence mechanism; whereas the really big names may love or hate the attention/the general public intensely, but they’ve had time to know what the score is and either learn to embrace/adapt/avoid (with the latter, it probably helps if you reach the point where you have staff and never have to meet the public if you don't want to) or otherwise decide what’s more important to them: maintaining a public ‘nice’ image – regardless of how they actually are in reality – or just going full-on ‘take the fame for all it’s worth’ and owning being a baddie!! Of course, we have no way of knowing whether they are truly nice people or extremely good (and permanently resentful) actors – especially those who ARE actors!!
I met R2D2 today in The Trafford Centre. I had my photo taken with him, he didn't say much but seemed very warm and friendly for a robot!
Good to know he’s the exact opposite of his cousin who works at the self-service checkout I used in Asda yesterday – she just kept shouting at me and even clearly implying that I may be a thief

He was amazing as Jesus. Those piercing blue eyes.
He is indeed a very talented actor, but that has highly amused me: specifically pointing out his blue eyes when he's playing a middle-eastern Jewish man!
Nastiest = Paul O’Grady
He was friends with Cilla Black, that explains it.
And yet, they were both best pals with Dale Winton, whom everybody always says was genuinely really lovely. Odd, isn’t it?!
John Barnes is ace and his kids are great.
I have never met him in person and have no interest whatsoever in football, but I do really like John Barnes when I’ve seen him on TV in a non-football context. A gentle, intelligent, fair-minded, thinking person.
I am friends with a cousin of Declan Donnelly who assures me Dec is lovely.
Many (ordinary) people who’ve met him (including on this and other similar threads) seem to report the same (which is not necessarily the case for ‘people’ he ‘may’ frequently work with….), but to be fair, he’s never likely to be have been anything else with his cousin who he’s known for all/most of his life and from long before he was famous, is he?!
