Famous people you thought would be nice, but were tw*ts?

[Moodershewrote]

Have you met someone famous and they turned out to be a bit of a twat?

I once met Steve Coogan (who I thought was hilarious as Alan Partridge) who was a sexist, lecherous buffoon IRL.

Share your tales!

She came and did some shows with our choir and was just the loveliest person, absolutely the nicest celeb I've ever met.

i met shirley ballas. i was thinking she'd be not that great but she honestly could not have been any nicer and i am a low-level peasant so she had no need to be nice to me but she was honestly the best and amazing.

I’ve never read a good review of James Corden.

But…can anyone explain why he has such a high opinion of himself? It baffles me.

Yes lots of women have said that Bill Clinton raped them.

Google "bill clinton rape" and they will all come up

@countrygirl99 I covert their house!!’

Johannes Radebe was absolutely lovely at the stage door of his last solo show- he made a little video for my mum (who’d ran for her bus home). I remember he spent ages talking to a fan who looked a bit tearful
and overwhelmed - he really seemed to be listening to her and trying to comfort her.

He is as elegant as he looks on telly, beautifully put together and smells of Penhaligon’s Halfeti.

I met her when she came to a school event at th3 museum I worked at. I totally agree with all your comments. She was so lovely, genuine, kind, modest and well-informed, and spent ages talking to the children.

Also beautiful and very like Diana.

it was absolutely tragic that her life ended as it did.

Surprised at “sex pest” Chris Packham, do you mean CP the Springwatch presenter ? A friend worked with him for a while and had nothing but good things to say.

I haven't either, but Ruth Jones is lovely and she seems to like him so he must have something positive about him.

My friend met him in a work capacity. She said that he was really nice, great sense of humour and if anything a bit of a hammy luvvie.

Basically a million miles away from Grant Mitchell.

@PollyCherry one of my kids was at school with one of his for a while - he was always very polite and friendly.

The late Tommy Cooper was at a hotel I stayed at in the 70s. He was loud, full of himself, and all other guests were kept waiting while he was waited on

Esther Rantzen was friendly at an event in Cambridge with her oldest daughter (then about 2-3 years old), one-time Corrie actor Bruce Jones was shyly polite in a pub in Wales, and John Major was chatting away like a long-lost friend during lunch at Blakeney Point, surrounded by bodyguards

I’m wondering if the poster meant Chris Langham ?

NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! not Tommy Cooper!!!!!! 😫

My friend’s mum met T C on a train journey and her verdict was that he was odd, but perfectly pleasant,

Princess Anne was absolutely fab when I met her. She was lovely to my 8 year old DD - really engaged and took her seriously. My DM spent a morning with her for a royal visit and lunch and said she was a dream - knew everything about the project, knew the people involved, remembered people she’d met a couple of year previously. DM said on her own she was really friendly and chatty and they had a moment roaring with laughter over a private joke. Nothing bad to say about her - that day she made absolutely everyone she encountered feel special.

@CoffeeCantata Jill Dando was a really lovely person.
I worked on the same paper with her when she was just starting out, in the 80's.
She was delightful and I was not surprised at all that she had a terrific career.
Her dad was a lovely, lovely man too.
RIP.

Oh I met him at a meet and great for a show he did - he was wonderful! Really lovely man. And smelled divine 😂. Very tall!

He was returning from a funeral and wake at The Groucho Club in Soho where he had read the eulogy of close friend, producer Verity Lambert. He was shouted at in the street by someone who is described as a "vagrant". The man kept shouting at him calling him "Jonathan Creek" which Alan initially ignored, but the guy became more and more aggressive and abusive and started calling him a "c*nt". Alan snapped at this point, and being worse for wear after having a few drinks at the club, lunged into the guy, sinking his teeth into his ear and making it bleed. He admitted later that it had been an emotional and upsetting day and that he'd had far too much to drink than was normal and that he'd "lost it". He apologised for his behaviour and the guy who was bitten did not press charges.

Oh that's a shame! Have you seen his song he does about being asked questions? It's absolutely brilliant 😊

Agree on Emma Watson. I knew of her growing up. Always been her way. Seems she hasn't changed.

What was she like growing up?

Is there anyone from oxford that isnt a posh twat though.

I just went to a group that was full of people from oxford. Christ they were all posh twats.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. I found him odious and kept out of his way as much as possible.

I’m sat near Abbey Lee Miller right now, and she’s ignoring anyone who even tries to ask if she’s her. But has been chatting to the chap in the row behind(who I’m sure has no idea who she is) quite happily.
