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.

@Alexa51 yes re Rupert Penry Jones. He came in a shop I worked at maybe 10 years ago, very normal and low key, had his trouser leg stuck in his sock, but had a vibe that he was ‘someone’ even to those who didn’t recognise him.

Phillip schofield is a very rude man.
I agree about Lawrence LB- really up himself and sleezy.

Michael Owen was lovely to meet though

I used to work with a guy who had previously been a chauffeur

He drove LLB a number of times and said he was horrible. He would never even say hello. He'd take one sip of a bottle of water then throw it on the floor and open a new bottle. He'd also leave newspapers thrown all over the floor and seats

Cheryl Cole was nice but he had to put a towel down for her to sit on every time as her fake tan used to go all over the leather seats

Thank goodness I’m not a celeb, as I’s be called a right moody rude knob. I know it goes with the job, but I can’t imagine how shit it is to have to be nice to strangers incase they tell everyone that you are actually just a human trying to live their life. It’s bad enough having to make small talk bumping into clients when I’m walking around Asda. At least they don’t demand selfies with me and bitch about me online.

Why the fuck would anyone want to be famous? It seems like a bloody nightmare.

incidentally I have just watched the Paula Yates documentary and her life was ruined by being hounded by the press. Fame fucks you up!

KateAusten · 18/03/2023 18:37

James Corden always gets the same responses on these threads and I've also seen two or three threads on Reddit where everybody said the exact same thing!

Bit surprised about Alan Davies, I saw him once at Highbury. Glad I didn't approach him, I knew he was a season ticket holder

Only famous person I've spoken to is Dion Dublin and he was very nice. I've seen famous people but don't approach them

Another thumbs up for lovely Kathy Burke, she was exactly as she comes across on screen… friendly, down to earth and funny.
Also Una Stubbs
Emily Mortimer
Robert Carlyle
Ralf Little
Lawrence L-B
All lovely when I met them.

Dsis met Gigi Hadid at a fashion event. She said that Gigi was very sweet and playful with no airs or graces.

...just because they weren't sweetly compliant when they shoved an autograph book under the toilet door whilst they were trying to have a poo in peace!

Oh, thanks! I've just used the last sheet....

UserTwentyMillion · 19/03/2023 14:52

Has anyone met Julia Roberts? I’ve read rumours she’s not very nice but really don’t want to believe this!

JMSA · 19/03/2023 20:21

I'm also curious about J-Lo. I've read on social media that she's a horror, but you can't always believe that stuff.

She definitely seems nice, but I'm afraid I don't know for sure! Like you, I would be disappointed if she's not.

mrspinkhat · 19/03/2023 21:01

Eammon Holmes is an ignorant arse and Linda Robson is a right cow.

Terry Wogan was lovely.

Lampzade · 19/03/2023 21:48

Not surprised about Eamon Holmes. Horrible man

I've heard she's really thick too 😬

SinnerBoy · 19/03/2023 22:22

She was very bad on Richard Osman's House of Games.

Followtheyellowbrickroads · 19/03/2023 22:24

Aww, Eamon seems lovely! and Ruth too

JoanThursday1972 · 19/03/2023 22:25

Has anyone met Laurence Fix? I'm wondering if he really is obnoxious all the time.

Crikeyalmighty · 19/03/2023 22:27

@CountryMouse22 I've met Scott- he's a very nice guy.

Crikeyalmighty · 19/03/2023 22:27

I forgot to mention the Milliband brothers- both really lovely.

SmugglersHaunt · 19/03/2023 22:47

I concur with the Eammon Holmes comments. He’s not nice

SmugglersHaunt · 19/03/2023 22:48

Also Michael Madsen is vile

dew141 · 20/03/2023 06:39

I have a few:
Tom Cruise - wasn't a big fan but randomly ended up in the same box as him (and the Mission Impossible cast) at a concert (on his 60th birthday) and he was very charming.
Martin Kemp - lives locally, very charming and friendly
George Osborne - also very friendly (particularly to my kids)
George Michael - friend of a friend worked for him for years and he was apparently the kindest man
Barbara Windsor - used to live near me, walked her tiny dog every day, quite friendly
James Fox (father to Lawrence) - know through a family connection and is a proper gentleman
Rick Astley - another concert invite but was happy to chat to everyone (as was Danny from The Voice)
Jamie Dornan - also at the same concert (which was a VIP celeb-y thing) and he said there on his own with a massive bouncer looking utterly bored on his phone and didn't clap once (even at the end). Concert was epic (global band in a small venue) and I'd have been very unimpressed if I were the band.

I think Eamonn's grown into a miserable old man. Watching him and Ruth together makes me cringe these days.

She's not very nice. I'm a huge Kiefer fan so I dislike her after what she did to him :0 Apparently when they were dating,they were spotted in the audience and Julia was running up and down trying to draw attention to herself and Kiefer was so embarrassed and kept trying to hush her up.

Meant to say they were in the audience watching a show on Broadway.
