Universally loved celebrities

[newjobnewstartihope]

After the death of Paul o Grady it occurred to me I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him before or after death- ditto George Michael
Other celebs I can think of are David Attenborough and Peter Kay
Are there any others?

David Jason, John cleese, Hugh laurie

Oh I did not know this! :(

Sir Chris Hoy?

Another one here for Declan Donnelly.
And Donny Osmond - all the Osmonds, actually. Thoroughly nice people and do a LOT for charity/church.
I disagree with the slating two pps have given Peter Andre. He was stuck married to the impossibly self-absorbed and narcissistic Katie Price and he, along with most of her other exes, seem to have gone on to make good and stable relationships since. She on the other hand...

Floella Benjamin - can’t imagine anyone not liking Floella

Love Lee Mack. He would be my celebrity husband!

there has been about 4 votes for the lovely Floella

I used to watch St Elsewhere- I'd forgotten he was in it. If you get the chance, watch film "The preacher's wife" with him, Whitney Houston and Courtney B Vance. He was also excellent in "Philadelphia" with Tom Hanks. 🌹

Emma Thompson- she does tons for charity and I believe (because I am nosey and was listening to two people who had got work experience on a film location) that she treats everyone she works with ( including runners, catering staff etc) with kindness and consideration

I like Julian Clary - he has had a past of misdemeanors with the Norman LaMont joke - but other than that - I'd like to see him take over from Paul at Battersea

By some accounts the Queen Mother practically dripped acid. And I've never understood the misguided reverence for QE2. Her unswerving support for her highly dodgy second son, not least manipulating tax laws/Scottish property law when it benefits the interests of her dynasty, both suggest she wasn't the sweet little old lady the media cast her as. The politics of that entire family are distinctly 'off', and this is a matter not of opinion but of a well-documented track record.

David Jason. Could be rumour, could be otherwise, but of late I haven't liked what I've been reading.

Of those who have something of a mixed press - David Attenborough being one who comes across as a gentleman, but does apparently have his irascible moments. Fair play, we're all human, but it's a pity when we read of outright rudeness. Assuming this is true, of course. Sometimes it's a matter of perception and a blunt, direct manner is sometimes received as rudeness.

Loved Philadelphia but haven't seen The Preacher's Wife, I'll have to look at that, thanks.

Blame her for her own faults but hardly fair to blame her for her BILs, who she hated, beliefs.

BTW The Preachers Wife is a remake of the 1947 film The Bishop's Wife, with Cary Grant as the angel, David Niven as the bishop and Loretta Young as his wife. IMHO it's a far better film.

Robin Williams

Rob Brydon?

Ha, just read back and I’d skipped the page she was on 😊

Who is this? The original comment had been deleted

Dwayne Johnson - especially after Moana 👍

Although I’m not a fan lot of people love holly Willo

It’s not physically possible for any celebrity (or anyone else for that matter). To be universally loved.

i have heard people say bad things about most celebrities. The only person, that I am yet to hear anything unpleasant about is Derren Brown, but I know that some people don’t like him and question his ‘ethics’

Honourable mention for Barry Humphries.

He undoubtedly pissed off a few people, but they were people worth pissing off. Gets my vote.

Jennifer Garner always seems lovely and must have been a saint to put up with Ben Affleck who seems like an absolute arse!

He's disliked by so many people, he's a real rent a gob.

Gosh, we can't tell which side you support.
