Which celebrities do you think are genuinely good people?

[Soubriquet]

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

I think that beach thing is fair enough who wants gawpers hanging around

Keanu Reeves & Dolly Parton (based on assumption).
Cillian Murphy (1st hand knowledge).

Supporting or lecturing?

I don't like Gaby Logan, she annoys me but fair play to her, she's made a successful career in a hugely male dominated field. She probably had to be 'a bitch' to survive and get where she has. If she'd been nicey nice, she would have been written off as arm candy for the male presenters and her career would have been over at 23.

I would like to hear the evidence regarding Stacey Solomon as she seems to genuinely love and connect with people. A real people person with a big heart.
My choice would be BenFogle ( Feel you get to know him as a person on New lives in the Wild. The vet on it this week who treats street dogs has got to be one of the best humans on the planet .
Simon Reeve seems so intelligent and has a lot of empathy for people.
Yasmin alibhai- brown .I love her on Jeremy Vine . Previously on Mathew Wrights show. She always sticks up for the underdog and absolutely herself with her opinions .
Anyone who is in the public eye and working hard for charities in their own way. Whether it’s animal charities, dementia,Mental health etc . All of them!

Was involved in a theatre production with Jim Carter many moons ago and he was very lovely

Michael Sheen
Richard Osman
Rob Beckett
Angela Barnes

@blackoverbillsmothers "Ricky Gervais -anyone against animal cruelty gets my vote."
Russell Brand is also very keen on animal welfare....

@Arrestedmanevolence I think there has to be a balance between working hard for your career in a male dominated world and looking at everyone like they're a pile of crap.

Her attitude might esteem from her competitive gymnastics days, but she is the kind of person who's nice to the people who are on her "level" or above if that makes sense, anyone else is just not worth of her time. DH actually saw her pulling faces like she was sucking a lemon when she was about to be approached by different members of the public wanting a selfie and a little chat on the World Cup. Now that their circles overlap at work, he confirmed that she is just not a nice person. She only treats well the hand that feeds her 🤷🏻‍♀️

Awww what a nice thread. 😄

Leonardo DiCaprio. I know someone who worked with him on a film, and said he was lovely. Friendly and kind and patient, and very professional. I have met him briefly 3 times at film premiers and he seemed lovely. Very friendly with his fans.

Johnny Depp.

Taylor Swift. Just seems adorable.

Ant and Dec seem sweet.

George Michael. I met him in the late 1980s in a nightclub and he seemed lovely. Chatting to all the people flocking around him. He always stayed that lovely generous kind soul. 😍

I love JK Rowling too. What a star, coming from nothing to what she is, a massively successful author.

Rylan, lovely!

Alison Hammond and Josie Gibson.

Keanu Reeve and Tom Hanks. And Ryan Reynolds Yes.

Davina McCall.

Kylie Minogue.

Dolly Parton.

Ricky Gervais is talented and funny and kind, but I do get a bit tired of his Christian bashing. He was force fed religion as a child, so I think that's why he hates it/is an atheist. A few people I know are like this. So I'll let him off.

Let’s not forget Ricky Gervais’s magnificent Golden Globes presenting spot. Plus his donations and support for animal charities. Plus his non acceptance of radical ‘gender ideology’.

Do these things make him a ‘nice’ person?

Brian May from Queen. Apart from all the advocating for animals that he does, and the fact that he always seems terribly earnest and considerate, I sent him an email once asking him a question about invasive species and he sent me a long, thoughtful, really lovely reply the next day. How many celebrities bother to do that?!

Johnny Vegas

Dolly

Bob Mortimer

Which Brian Cox?

Scarlet Moffat. Lovely lady, genuinely nice, down to earth and polite.

My mum spent a few hours with her one afternoon at the hairdressers (both having their hair done).

My dd at the time was about 10 and was obsessed with her. Scarlet rang her, made general chitchat asking about school and stuff, just being really lovely. She even wrote her a short letter and gave it to my mum for her pass on 🥰

I saw Him and Anita at an Animal charity place they were being shown around I was just a paying customer anyway I was properly star struck and Anita Dobson is teeny tiny !

I've heard so many good things about him.

Based on experience of them away from the cameras so not the public face.

Princess Ann
Prince and Princess of Wales

Most recently
Henry Cavill
Tony Head, always a joy and never seems to get fed up with Buffy references!

Despite being considered the Antichrist by Mumsnet Peter Andre is a delight to work with, he’s always professional and well prepared, he’s also genuinely interested in the people he is meeting and very generous with his time.

How could I forget Johnny Vegas?! A friend has worked with him professionally and said he's the nicest comedian by a country mile (his job is to book the acts).

Norman Reedus is apparently lovely... everyone that works with him seems obsessed and becomes his 'best friend'. I think he got so far because people just genuinely fall in love with his personality.
