I don't get to watch a lot of television, mostly because of work commitments, so I'm not hugely up to date on who's in the limelight but sometimes I just see someone who I think 'oh they seem so nice!'.

My fav right now is Annabel Croft. Just a lovely classy woman.

Gotta be Keanu Reeves.

Rylan, on paper he should really annoy me, Ex popstar wannabe who pops up everywhere.
But he comes across as lovely, hardworking and seems to take a genuine interest in the people he is interviewing. Also never heard anyone say anything bad about him and always seems to be the right side of any drama.

He does seem like a lovely guy but he did cheat on his husband which led to them getting divorced so not sure if that clouds your judgment. He definitely seems to severely regret it now and has publicly apologised however.

Agree about Rylan...seems genuinely nice

I also love Alison Hammond

Allover this!!!
Hes adorable. Nice kind man. A rarity tbh

EasternStandard · 19/11/2023 14:31

Keanu always wins on this one

platinumplus · 19/11/2023 14:32

Many people have said Steve Buscemi is one of the nicest Hollywood celebrities.

Puffypuffin · 19/11/2023 14:37

Well yes, Keanu is a given I guess. 😊

I met Paulo Nutini years and years ago in a shop when DD was about 3 and he was so sweet to her while she was making faces at him, I never forgotten that. He would have been very young at the time too.

Richard Osman. I often think ‘he would be a lovely man to be married to’. I would very much like to spend my days with him, he’d be good company. DH is alright, I suppose 😄

Brian May

Greg Davies and Alex Horne
Kathy Burke
Bob mortimer
Michael Kiwanuka (?spelling)

Mydogisagentleman · 19/11/2023 14:52

Paul Heaton as well

squashyhat · 19/11/2023 14:53

Don't know if she counts as a celebrity in the UK (she certainly does in her native Canada) but Amber Marshall - actor in the series Heartland. She seems very grounded and genuine. Runs a ranch with her husband and is involved in several animal charities. Her instagram posts and YouTube videos are never focussed on herself, nor does she do product promotion. I would love to be her friend Smile

PaddingtonsHat · 19/11/2023 14:55

Ryan Reynolds
Stacey Solomon

Martin Clunes

CeciledeVolangesdeNouveau · 19/11/2023 15:04

Robert Pattinson - a bit reserved but comes across as genuine and good-hearted
Jay Rayner - answered an email I was not expecting a response to very kindly
Obvjouslt no list would be complete without Dolly Parton
I’ve met James Norton and John Hurt in person and they were both lovely, polite and generous with their time

LittleGreenDuck · 19/11/2023 15:08

Clive Myrie always seems like a good egg.

barbarahunter · 19/11/2023 15:09

I've always liked Mary Berry.
Another vote for the lovely Rylan, too.

Such a calming voice. I could fall asleep listening to him talking (no offence Clive 😆)

Womanofcustard · 19/11/2023 15:14

Team Rylan !

CheerfulBunny · 19/11/2023 15:16

I'm enjoying Sue Perkins on Taskmaster at the moment, I've always liked her.
Also, very much like Lolly Adefope from TM and Ghosts.

SaturdayGiraffe · 19/11/2023 15:17

100% Richard Ayoade

SusanSHelit · 19/11/2023 15:22

Sír Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart both seem really lovely. I have it on good authority that I am 100 % correct about the former

AutumnCrow · 19/11/2023 15:23

Graham Linehan

backtowinter · 19/11/2023 15:25

Another for Rylan

I should dislike him for his accent, his look, shoehorning his mum into his show, etc

But I love him (and I think Linda is great too)
