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 always think Ed Balls seems absolutely lovely, but I'm basing that on nothing more than his TV persona and his kind face.

George Michael.
Doris Day
Julie Andrews
Ben Shepherd

Dolly Parton
Trisha Yearwood https://www.habitat.org/stories/habitat-humanitarians

SJP & Matthew Broderick paid for dinner for my son-in Law and two of his mates, because they offered them a taste of one of their dishes they'd asked about.

Emma Stone, Keanu Reeves, Kate Winslet, Florence Pugh, Mark Ruffalo all seem genuinely lovely people

I met Graham Norton before he was really famous. He was guest on a radio programme and I had to buzz him through to the studio. He was properly nervous and sweet.

Another vote too for Bon Mortimer. I'd love him round to dinner. I think he'd get on well with my friends

Sadly a friend worked regularly with Fern for years and said she wasn't very pleasant at all. Apparently she was very rude to anyone she considered junior.

I must also mention Sean Lock. Still sorely missed.

A few people have mentioned Julia Roberts - she is definitely not a nice person. A friend who has been in the film industry for 30+ years has worked with her on a couple of films & says she is the absolute worst person she has ever encountered. Very insecure & even at the height of her career when she was the highest paid actress in Hollywood, she hated having other women around her & would put down & degrade the female crew whilst turning on the charm to the men. Absolutely vile!

The mocking of disabled and sick children doesn't seem nice.

the science one

Dolly Parton, kind and generous, but also super smart.

I like him on GMB, wish he did it all week instead of Richard Madeley who I find irritating.

I came on here to say both of them x

Members of the public seem to have this thing that when they meet a celeb they want to make it more eventful than it actual is. This means lots of people exaggerate either how 'amazing, wonderful and down-to-earth' a celeb is or, alternatively, how 'horrible, stuck up and fake' they are. In reality I suspect most celebs are pretty normal. I imagine most aren't complete twats as people wouldn't want to work with them (although there are definitely exemptions to that!) As for giving to charity and doing charitable work then that's a fairly standard thing to do especially if you are well off and especially if you want to promote a good image of yourself.

The Beckhams, they bought some expensive equipment for a child I knew.

I slightly know Pinball Geoff (friend of a friend) and he's a delight and a hoot.

Dolly Parton should be president/prime minister/God. Giving all those books to millions of kids, employing her family at DollyWood... she's a genuine good one IMO.
Also Joan Bakewell, surely? And Dave Grohl seems to attract nothing but praise and respect.
Mark Rylance, I imagine. Joanna Lumley?
Andy Murray, that rare thing, an outspoken male feminist.

Siobhán McSweeney would be a scream in the pub, I think, but unfortunately is a sad-face will no one think of the transwomen type on social media.
And I used to follow Rose from the Throwdown on SM, but stopped because he said horrible misogynistic things and boasted about how he'd piss on the steps of Downing St (what steps?) if he wasn't allowed to use a women's loo.
I imagine Throwdown Keith being a lovely person though.

Keanu Reeves
Meera Syal
Emma Thompson
Joanna Lumley
Richard Dawkins

Johnny Vegas
Alistair Appleton
Kathy Burke
Adam Hills
Brian May
Claudia Winkleman
Paul Weller
All strike me as being lovely Johnny Vegas I want to marry!

'Slebs I know are lovely because I've met/ worked/ hung out with them:

Dr Brian May 😍
Graham Linehan

'Slebs I get strong positive feelings about, based on what I know of them/ how they come across (these have all been mentioned before):

JKR👸
Ricky Gervais
Rylan Clark
Michael Palin

Keane Reeves and Gabriel Basso for sure.

John Finnemore - we met him last weekend and he was utterly charming

JK Rowling, Dolly Parton and Keanu Reeves spring to mind instantly.

All strike me as being lovely Johnny Vegas I want to marry!

Ooh, I bet he'd make a mean fry-up!

I saw (read??) Emily Blunt talking about that clip that resurfaced from her past. She seemed genuinely mortified and apologetic. I guess we’ve all said stupid things which we said without thinking. I still think EB is a good egg!!
