Celebrities you love and why….

Off the back of the thread about celebs we don’t like……who do we love and why?
For me it’s :
Dolly Parton - beautiful woman with a heart of gold. Kind, generous and humble, always self-deprecating and does so much for charitable causes. Love her sense of humour and her music too (cry every time I hear Coat of Many Colours)

Denzel Washington- I want to marry him

Phil from Phil and Kristie is a big game hunter so he's dreadful in my eyes.

vincettenoir · 10/02/2024 12:43

Rylan, Jane Garvey, Stormzy and Claudia Winkleman. What a dinner party!

Rockschooldropout · 10/02/2024 12:45

I love Dolly - she’s refreshingly wonderful .. I love that she doesn’t take herself too seriously .. I was watching her documentary where she was asked how she feels about being labelled a “stupid blonde” and she just laughed and said I don’t care because I’m not stupid and I know I’m definitely not blonde 🤣

Chris Packham - I love that he’s prepared to put up with so much to fight for wildlife

Keanu Reeves .. because he’s a saint among men

Miranda Hart just because !

Tootytoot78 · 10/02/2024 12:47

All the cast of BBC Ghosts, they come across as being really good friends with each other.

Ruby wax - outspoken and brave
david baddiel - bright and outspoken
Gary lineker - outspoken and principled
lee Mack - hilarious

BearSoFair · 10/02/2024 12:51

Mads Mikkelsen - possibly the most famous face in his country (Denmark) yet always seems completely down to earth and doesn't think he's any better than the rest of us

PicklesAndTequila · 10/02/2024 12:55

Harry Styles, in every way, I totally adore him.

luckydaytoday · 10/02/2024 12:57

Agree re Dolly Parton ❤️

I love Florence Pugh. Her instagram is so down to earth compared to the other A listers. Random stuff of her doing face masks, pulling faces, dancing in the kitchen when she cooks etc. I find it oddly watchable and refreshing.

Also really like Andrew Scott.

And find Hugh Grant very funny in interviews.

Agree on all of those. Hugh Grant has really grown into his career!

Floella Benjamin 💕 She's an actual angel from heaven 😇

OMG yes, I'm old enough to remember her from Playschool, she's lovely.

Bookist · 10/02/2024 18:07

Hugh Grant. Love him. A relative knew him quite well back when he first became famous. He's actually a very talented actor because he's as far from being an affable buffoon (as he mostly portrayed in films) as you can get. Most people forget he's highly intelligent and very well educated, and he doesn't suffer fools gladly. And why should he?

Easterness · 10/02/2024 21:12

Martin Clunes. Because of his love for horses and work with animals.

TheLadyIsAVamp · 10/02/2024 21:18

Lewis Capaldi, I love his sense of humour and he just seems like great fun. I hope he's doing better these days.
Paul Rudd, just seems like an all round lovely man.
Ricky Gervais for reasons previously mentioned.
Margot Robbie because she just seems like a beautiful person inside out.
Daisy May Cooper because she is hilarious.

Fluffywhitecloudsinthesky · 10/02/2024 21:18

I only met Floella very briefly, but she was super kind and charming and just had so much energy. She definitely is one to love.

GellerYeller · 10/02/2024 21:20

I’m sure I’ve said this before on here but Emma Thompson-I just think she’d be a great friend and takes no crap.
Johnny Marr. Properly cool, unpretentious, respected hugely by his peers- just a real musical legend. And he told Trump not to use The Smiths music recently. Love him.
And of course, everything already said about Dolly.

Tittyfilarious81 · 10/02/2024 21:28

Dolly Parton absolutely lovely lady

Pekoe78 · 10/02/2024 21:53

Pekoe78 · 10/02/2024 22:24

Debbie McGee

foxlover47 · 10/02/2024 22:37

Machine gun Kelly for how much time he gives to fans especially the younger fans ,
Chris packham for how he is for our wildlife
Daisy mae cooper I just love her
Joanna lumley , absolute goddess of a human

Jellykat · 10/02/2024 22:41

I always loved Paul O'Grady, brilliant sense of humour, honest and his love of animals melted my heart.

Dave Grohl, always comes across as a really decent bloke (plus hes hot)

GellerYeller · 11/02/2024 10:10

Yes we must protect Dave Grohl at all costs! And he talks about how he loves Rick Astley, Oasis and ABBA 😊. The Foos took on a homophobic religious group by playing disco songs at them 😂😂😂
Louis Theroux - definitely agree with PP, national treasure status now, surely.
Gary Neville seems decent, lots of good work in Manchester during lockdown, and was so funny talking about David Beckham in that Netflix show. Sweetly ribbing him for his Hollywood lifestyle. Just talks sense.

GellerYeller · 11/02/2024 10:12

In fact I think Louis made a documentary about the same homophobic religious group that Dave and the Foos took on 😂

Pekoe78 · 23/02/2024 20:53

Harry Styles seems a nice guy and very charismatic.
