Rubbish title but hopefully you know what I mean.

For me, those who spring to mind are:
Sir David Attenborough
Tom Hanks
Usain Bolt
Judy Dench

@MyTruthIsOut David walliams? Are you taking the piss? Was the evidence of him tweeting 17th olds and asking to meet them privately backstage not enough for you? Perhaps then the accidental recording of him on BGT talking about how a women would be ‘one of those’ desperate to have sex with him? Or maybe even his books full of vile misogyny? This has to be a wind up

Tom Hanks is dicey asf. Rita is awful and Chet as well.

Drew Barrymore although I have it on good authority she is the best.

Russell Brand as he is now. I'd be sad. He got his life together and I love him.

Hugh Jackman and Jason Momoa. They both have fabulous reputations though in Hollywood.

Princessconsuelabananahammock9 · 31/05/2023 00:00

Adam Sandler is extremely nice. He is an extraordinary human being.

Zippy and Bungle

I don't know about Martin Sheen but my ex was in a movie with Emilio and said he is everything you would want him to be.

TheHandmaiden · 31/05/2023 00:01

Russell Brand like hell. His stuff on the internet is awful. Still screwing people, just not as directly as he used to.

Haywirecity · 31/05/2023 00:02

Lance Armstrong. Oh, wait....

Spareincoming · 31/05/2023 00:02

Vic is nicer than Bob. Bob is a bit arsey/seems frazzled a lot.

Joanna lumley is a wonderful lady. Jennifer Saunders is quite stressy but still very nice.

Ruth Bader Ginsberg
Baroness Hale
If either of them turned out to be unprincipled or shady in any way.

Aww, lovely. Am going to assume Martin is the same :)

Paul O'Grady

I'm hardly ready to accept his passing, nevermind if he was outted as a bad'un now.

Same.
I'd be absolutely devastated if anything horrid surfaced about him now.

Someone said Lewis Capaldi - he is neurodiverse, which may explain him seeming 'creepy'. (I don't think he is; I love him!)

Flunkey · 31/05/2023 00:10

Talking of Martins.

MARTIN Cloones

Beyonce

I don't know much about Beyonce in general but she took the time to visit a friend who was in hospice care in London. She and Jay-Z both went in the evening, with no fanfare, talked to their friend and left. No mention in the press etc. Just visiting because they wanted to see her.It might not sound like a big deal I've seen people whose close family won't visit because 'it's too upsetting'.

thaegumathteth · 31/05/2023 00:16

@Princessconsuelabananahammock9 I know this is a tenuous link but my friend was an air steward and had Drew B on her flights loads of times. She was never anything but kind and unassuming.

Also agree that celebrities are allowed to be grumpy and to get pissed off with people thinking they're entitled to their time.

Another one - Louis Theroux

Chris Whitty

I don’t know him personally but we have mutual overlapping work circles so have colleagues who know him well (I am many rungs down the ladder!)

Apparently just as lovely in real life as he seems. Very hardworking.

Hartley Hare, know he was bit moth eaten n a big attention seeking drama queen back in the 70s but if anything came out about him harrassing Topov ot Octavia I'd have to run away to Borneo and learn how to write proper sentences
