I’ll start with Ryan Reynolds. He honestly seems completely down to earth, responsive to his fans and likes to have a good joke at his own expense

Whooooah I missed this!

He sent weekly videos to all staff showing off his land. Each week would be look my pool, my donkeys, my 16 acres, my pizza ovens, my forest etc. When most of his staff work on just above minimum wage and stuck at home, many with no outdoor space, trying to home school.
Honestly, behind his back, especially during covid with those videos, the staff hated him.
He has been in moaning to my relative who works for him in one of his shops that he couldn't get planning permission for a helipad on his property.
He's nothing like his father.
His father John has done good work and is respected by the employees, but James is a definitely not.

Olivia Coleman does seem to be lovely - she is a supporter of a youth charity in Norfolk, and has turned up and been a helper on a playscheme a relative went to, with no fuss or publicity - the playscheme did a post on Facebook, but that was it. The kids were too young to know who she was, just appreciated another friendly adult playing with them!

Please tell me you're joking.

Why on earth should she be!? Are you a TRA?

Brad Pitt

His own son described him as a 'world-class asshole'.

Sally Phillips seems like a thoroughly decent woman and an excellent mum

Maybe because the majority of people don’t like her?

Have you completed a worldwide poll that I've somehow missed?! 😂

How anyone can claim to speak for such a nameless, faceless entity as 'the majority of people' is beyond me.

But if I had to take a punt, I'd suspect most don't give a stuff either way.

Huh? I'm not a superfan, but I am in admiration of her work to defend single sex spaces for women. If that is something that the 'majority of people' don't like, then that makes me really scared for us. I'm actually not remotely a fan of Harry Potter, so I'm not coming at it from that angle at all.

Cheer yourself up with this clip of Cilla butchering a Lionel Richie classic.

Jeez

Oh crap this one too, the black out night one has gone that was too!

This is the most disappointing post on the whole thread.

I'm a big fan of John Timpson and thought James was following in his father's footsteps.
I'm feeling both sad and angry that he's turned out to be a shit.

i once had a pint with Noddy Holder who was absolutely lovely.

I don't think James is aware of how he comes across. Totally unaware of his privilege. Otherwise, there is no way on earth he would have made those weekly videos.
I think he has yes men advising him.
So I'm not saying he is a bad person. Just deluded and living in a bubble.
No idea of the real world.
My relative who works for him and knows him doesn't hate him. Just thinks he's an uneducated in life idiot.

I don’t get how Johnny Depp can be thought of as a good man. I have no idea what happened between him and Amber, who lied or why. But those messages that he admitted to sending, horrible misogynistic messages that no man I’d want to be associated with would send, were a fact in that case. Even if you take the approach that he was a victim and pushed to an extreme place, writing about raping a dead woman to check she was dead? And I so wanted to believe in his goodness as was a big fan of him before.

After the way my ExH and his... mistress treated me (gaslighted, she lied to him that I sent her rude messages, which I didn't, etc), if you have read the messages I sent him, you would think even worse of me than you think of Johnny (I love him, even for his charity work if nothing else). And I love men, I have been very lucky to have met, married and dated the loveliest men, exH was the only negative experience. I have seen more bad from women.

Cilla Black - charming, humble lady

That’s funny - she seems to get the vote on the cabin crew’s website as the worst passenger ever.

Whoever told her she could sing should be shot.

It wasn’t just messages, Johnny Depp is a wifebeater, as found in a court of law. Though the messages alone are indefensible, right enough.

It seems they fought each other, not that he beat up AH, she equally beat him up

My vote would go to Keanu, Kate Winslet (just look at that interview she did with the young girl, she was so sweet), the late Audrey Hepburn and Taylor Swift.
