Who would it be? Just ONE...

Me? Tom Hanks. He's just so awesome and I bet he has so many interesting life stories

Rob Rinder - seems funny, wise, warm and fair.
Marian Keyes - seems funny, wise, warm and fair.

Sandi Toksvig. I love her sense of humour and she's very knowledgable. I could laugh and learn something at the same time!

Bradley Walsh... he's so down to earth and very funny 😄

Does it have to be a living celebrity, or can they be dead?

If dead, it'd have to be Olivia Newton John. Everyone who knew her says she was a lovely, genuine, caring person with a wicked sense of humour, and generally just fun to be around.

Rachel McAdams.

Cliff Richard. I've always loved his music through the generations. He's also been life long friends with lots of other "nice" celebrities who never seem to have anyone say anything against them. Nice people tend to attract other nice people and friendships last for lifetimes, rather than the plastic artificial slebs who flit between people as it suits them.

There's a lot of rumours about CR, none proven though.

Stanley Tucci for my male best friend, I’m sure I’d get on with his wife too, they seem fun and I imagine great dinner parties :)

Emma Thompson or Olivia Colman. Can't choose between them!

Me too, I’ll have one, you can have the other then we can arrange a meet up and all be friends!

I would also have liked to have been a friend of Victoria Wood, she seemed so clever, funny and kind but not too extrovert (I find extreme extroverts a bit overwhelming).

Also too late, but would have loved to have know Jeremy Hardy, he could make me laugh until I couldn't breathe.

@blcckamercanonosugar my DH did some work for Jeremy Hardy and I can confirm he was absolutely lovely and very very funny. RIP ❤️

Amy Dowden from Strictly. She seems warm and really lovely.

Martina Navratilova - she's my kind of woman - direct, says what needs saying but she seems like good fun to be around - I also think she's quite compassionate and warm - I've liked her since the 80's! This would be no surprise to my wife - they are not dissimilar - but it surprises almost everyone I've ever mentioned this to.

@larkstar by all accounts she is as nice as she comes across. Well, the account of a car driver in Miami who drives her regularly and said she always invited him in to help himself to fruit from her garden...

Valhalla17 · 06/08/2023 20:20

Kate Beckinsale, she always seems such fun!

larkstar · 07/08/2023 02:36

@Auntpodder thanks for posting that - it's nice to hear.
