Serena Williams. All that self-centered madam drama, I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut for more than a minute!

David Tennant… great as the Doctor and in several other roles, personal life and views… absolute wank puffin of a misogynistic tool.

Absolutely agree. Loved him as Dr Who, now can't watch anything at all he's in.

I can confirm Jess Glynne is a total arse 😂

Literally came on to say the same.

Lee Mack. He's really quick and is usually quite funny, but there's something slightly cruel and cold in his responses, especially on the 1% Club. Can't think we'd get on.

This. It was a major dissappointment to find out how awful this man is as i really liked him as an actor. Oh well.

I was really shocked there for a moment, then I realised I was confusing him with Bradley Walsh 😂

So was I 🤣

Elliot Page. Awesome actroresse whatever (never seen anything as a man) but I find the whole "not a lesbian anymore, now Im a man" very tedious and self-centered.

It’s surprising that the ones with the big egos and so on sometimes do a lot for charity. Like Robbie Williams who set up ‘soccer aid ‘ with his friend. His probably hard work ( I can imagine) but his heart is in the right place.

I know a lot of people who have met and worked with his friend (Jonathan Wilkes) including my husband. Some of them didn;t get on with him but he has mellowed a lot as he has got older and my husband had no issue with him.

Robbie himself is apparently a really nice guy.

I agree with some above, Robbie Williams, undoubtedly arena level talented, but his energy feels so erratic. I don't dislike him, but he is unsettling. Madonna, talented enough to be a good performer, but any interview, Jesus if she could eat herself she would.

That will be the ADHD

I knew this thread would be interesting as I work in the theatre industry and have a close friend in the film industry so I know some of the people who've been named reasonably well and some I've met a couple of times.

MNLurker1345 · 06/08/2026 09:49

I have never liked Arianna Grande, her voice has always irritated me. My DD and DGD have always been huge fans.

I do though wish her all the best!

@LimpRat “Tennant, goes without saying. A slimy rodenty little irrelevant tosspiece who falls into the trap or thinking his opinions matter one iota in the real world.”

Sums it up really x

Beyoncé - I work in music and she is truly awful. Jay-Z is actually the more rational one, but still pretty awful too.

ElizaSchuyler · 06/08/2026 09:55

Layton Williams.

People who have worked with hinm privately say he is not nice.

Another one saying Emma Thompson, she was really rude to Rowan Atkinson on a chat show.

Interesting, I’ve heard Rowan Atkinson is absolutely horrible to everyone he meets so…

I know someone who is a celeb stylist and she said Holly Willoughby is the rudest person she’s ever met. She also said Victoria Coren Mitchell was rude as fuck.

I don’t feel strongly about many celebs. I suspect I’d quite like Katie Price for some reason which my DH finds hilarious because we’re like chalk and cheese. I’ve always had a soft spot for her. I also like Michael Barrymore which is contentious I know but again, always had a soft spot for him.

See, I think he’s an example of an actual trans person. He isn’t doing the whole I’m going to say I’m a they rather than she for attention or I’m gonna dress up as the opposite sex for cosplay for a bit like Sam Smith.

So, going through some of the names already mentioned who I know or have met more than once (as everyone can be having a shit day for a variety of reasons, they're no different to us)...

Jeremy Irons. Absolute misery of a man.

Simon Pegg. Not at all smug. Incredibly ordinary in the right way.

Emma Thompson. Thoroughly lovely, very warm, very funny and considerate.

Hannah Waddingham. Nice but has definitely hardened since she's become known outside of theatre. She was very warm when she was younger.

Miriam Margolyes. What you see is what you get. No filter and treats everyone the same whether they're a name or a cameraman. Genuinely cares about people unless they're a shit.

I love Robbie. I credit his wife with mellowing him

Alexander Zverev. Great tennis player but I have no interest in ever meeting him face to face.
