1.
Will Smith. Worked a private event for him a couple years back. He made sure to thank each and every employee when he arrived and before he left. He had the best manners and was in such a jovial mood, joking around with the staff. Great guy. -
2.
My dad met Lady Gaga at a restaurant in NYC and said she was one of the most genuinely sweet human beings he has ever met in his entire life. He called her “enchanting” and actually became a fan of hers after that! -
3.
I served Daniel Radcliffe his dessert at an event, and tripped and spilled some of it on him, probably due to seeing that I was serving Daniel Radcliffe, and he stood up and started apologising profusely to ME. Was very sweet and asking if I was ok. -
4.
I don't think anyone one would be surprised that Jeff Goldblum is nice, but I can attest to it. I was an extra in a movie with him. When he arrived on the scene, some nasty film crew woman was screaming at us not to bother him or ask for his autograph (which none of us had done). He must have heard her, because he turned right around and came over to talk to us. -
5.
A lot of people mention Gordon Ramsay being lovely. My godsister can confirm. She worked at a hotel restaurant in Cornwall where Ramsay vacations at regularly. She was so nervous she spilt something but he just gave her a really fatherly warm smile and went “no it’s okay my darling” and continued on with his conversation. When I was a kid, my family took a trip to London and we were shopping in Harrod’s. Being the kid I was, I was running around while my parents shopped. I ran up to this man, looked up and said “you look REAAAAAAAALLY familiar. Have we met?” And he flashes a smile and says “no, but I get that a lot” and then he walks off. My dad came right over and went “...you do realise that was mr bean you just spoke to right?” -
6.
I work in the film industry. Weird Al is insanely f**king nice. Like, you ask him for a photo and he’ll make a 10 second video for your dad nice. -
7.
Robert Downey Jr., we were on the same flight.. Super personable, witty. I didn’t realize it was him at first. -
8.
Dolly Parton is without a doubt one of the most polite, friendly and welcoming human beings I have ever met. I was catering backstage at one of her concerts. My job was to prepare the buffet for the backstage guests and basically be invisible. She entered the room and greeted everybody like they were family. Then she saw me and my coworker and said, "Aw, come on over here. We're all family here!" She made herself an equal to everybody in the room. Daryl Hall was a cool guy. Gave us all autographed tshirts. John Oates not so much. Their crew let us (backstage caterers) watch the show from the wings. Melissa Etheridge was awesome. Super friendly to the backstage crew. -
9.
I met Jim Carrey when I was like 11 at a party my parents attended. I couldn't stop staring at him. He was behaving so normal and then when he noticed me staring he did a mask facial expression and started staring at me. He's a genuinely funny guy and probably has the purest of heart. -
10.
Not me but my dads story. My dad interviewed Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rogers was very nice, but the highlight of the interview was Mr. Rogers saying he was proud of my dad. Great guy -
11.
Patrick Stewart-- an absolute delight! Waited on him several times. Literally went up to the line at the open kitchen and said thank you to the cooks, and thanked each staff member in a glorious fashion on his way out. Everyone's jaw dropped. Made our day each time! -
12.
Having met Hugh Laurie in person, I can confidently state that he is one of the nicest and most humble celebrities out there. Not only is he completely happy to interact with his fans, but he also does so in a way that makes each and every one of them feel like they're a friend. He remembers names and personal details with amazing accuracy, and he makes each conversation seem like it's an extension of a treasured (and ongoing) dialogue. Add to that the fact that the man is outwardly hilarious, and you've got a recipe for a genuinely great guy. -
13.
A friend of mine went to the premiere of X-Men Origins Wolverine and they camped out by the theater, he said he woke up and he was told that Hugh Jackman had bought everyone who camped breakfast. It was a little breakfast sandwich and an orange juice I believe, he also said there was at least 100 people there. -
14.
My mom spotted Robin Williams once and she went up to him and asked if she could get a quick photo. She didn't realize he was there in the middle or about to do something with the Make A Wish Foundation so she waited until they were done around 20-30 min later and then a bunch of the kids and people wanted photos with him - he made it a point to stick around and told his staff "I think that woman wanted a photo" and made sure she got it. Mom was thrilled. He was such a humble nice dude. -
15.
I met Paul Rudd on a flight from NY, sat next too him on the plane. My buddy leaned over and told me that he wanted to compliment him on this band shirt he wore when making Clueless, but he "didn't want it to be weird". So his solution was to write him a note and slip it to him, lol. So he does this, and Paul just gets this nervous look on his face, opens the note and reads it. Starts cracking up laughing, leaned over to us and said "best note ever". He then told us the whole story of the shirt, how he fought with the costume dept about it because it was the shirt he wore to set that day. We talked the whole flight, dude was super cool. -
16.
I’ve written this before but I worked at MuchMusic in Canada. Quick stand outs are that: Taylor Swift was extremely nice, very polite and easy to work with, smelled amazing LOL, great person overall. Very nice to our crew. Ryan Reynolds was a prick, people are always surprised when I say that but out of all the celebs I had to work with, he was the worst. I don’t give a s**t if he’s twitter’s darling right now. Fall Out Boy were nice, Patrick and Pete were kind of strange and awkward, but nice dudes overall. Robert Pattinson (this was during the twilight days) was so odd and strange but a really cool guy, easy, down to earth. You could tell he didn’t give a s**t about Twilight but he was funny and cool about it. Treated us all with respect. -
17.
I met Leonard Nemoy at different times. Leonard was incredibly cool. He was giving a talk at the place where I work and we all knew he was coming so we sat at a table outside near the entrance so we could see when he arrived. His security people led him from the car to the building and we said hello as he passed. They took him inside to a private green room to relax before he went on. To our surprise, after the handlers dropped him off at the green room he came back outside, sat down with us and just hung out, we talked about food and cool places to see nearby. We just chatted like he was one of the crew. Class act guy. One of the neatest celebrity encounters I've had. -
18.
My mom and sister met the Rock when he was still a wrestler. They had a couple car seats and tons of bags having a hell of a time getting off the plane and people were waiting and then this massive guy offered to carry some things for them and they happily took the help, he grabbed some bags and held the baby carrier with my niece in it and helped them off the plane and left. After people kept going up to them asking how they knew the rock and they were very confused until someone explained who he was. -
19.
Tom Hanks. I worked at Disneyland in the late 90’s and I saw him giving a tour to a group of about 25 kids. He was leading the tour and the Disney tour guide was just tagging along so I could tell he’d done this many times before. -
20.
Jason Momoa. He’s an absolute treasure to be around. He’s genuine and loves his job. He wants his fans to have as much fun as he’s having. He can size up a fan and know how far to push/tease them to make them comfortable while not going too far. His personality is infectious, and I had a blast with him. -
21.
Steve Irwin hands down, I've met a few musicians and athletes who have been nice but none were as nice as Steve. I met him in an elevator at a hotel and I walked in soaking wet after swimming in the pool. I was only 11 and I was in awe that I was in an elevator with Steve Irwin. Straight away he starts a conversation with me, asks me what my name is, where I'm from and if there were any crocs in the pool and if I see any at the hotel to come find him. He then starts talking to the hotel worker who was in the elevator with us and staring at Steve the whole time. That interaction with him still makes me ridiculously happy whenever I think about it. -
22.
Back when they were filming Lord of the Rings all the hobbits: Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins), Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee), Billy Boyd (Peregrin Took), and Dominic Monaghan (Meriadoc Brandybuck), came into my mom's video store and wanted to rent all of Peter Jacksons movies. They were so excited to have a movie marathon I thought it was super cute. -
23.
Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter) was very sweet, met him at Comic Con one year, he told me I had a beautiful smile :) -
24.
Mark Ruffalo was a sweetheart, Javier Bardem was cool! (Really short though which surprised me cause he always seems so intimidating and overbearing in movies-great actor) -
25.
I met Chris Hemsworth when I consulted on a movie. Super nice guy. Met Lisa Edelstein at a starbucka in SF, her smile is even more impressive in person. -
26.
I’ve also met Stan Lee, twice actually (two different comic con years) At the first I got my picture taken with him and were instructed not to touch or talk to him. When I walked in (probably 15 years old at the time) he sweetly smiled and said hi The second time I got that picture autographed and he was kind to both me and my father, so great to meet a legend like him (RIP Stan) -
27.
I met Hilary Duff when I worked at a grocery store (she was having a party and came in for some cheese and crackers) She was super friendly. -
28.
I work as a background extra and sometimes get to meet cool people: John Cusack was very nice! Billy Bob Thorton is AMAZING, there was only 10 of us working with him on a night shoot and he took the time to introduce and shake each of our hands. That never happens. Keanu is a doll, Tom Hardy is cool. I lost my s**t over James Hetfield (Metallica) and he couldn't have been nicer. 13 reasons why cast was cool, they stuck to themselves but would say hi to us if they recognized us after awhile. (I was part of one of the core groups.) TBH I've yet to work with a d**k. -
29.
Ed Sheeran - before the fame I met him when he was the support act at a gig with an audience of maybe 100 people. After his act I got chatting to him and he said he’d come play at my student house if I paid for his train and gave him a couch for the night. We took a pic together and slightly tipsy I told him he’s going to be famous. It felt like he was on the radio a matter of day’s later, so I never got my private gig. Aside from being unable to keep promises he was very pleasant. -

I ran into Adam Sandler outside of a Planet Fitness in Brooklyn in early 2016. As I was leaving the Planet Fitness, it looked like he was walking in. We made eye contact, so I stopped and held the door for him. He got to the door and stopped right before he walked through, in one of those fake poses that little kids make when you tell them to freeze. I stood there holding the door, plenty confused. For about five seconds, we just stood there- him, motionless and I, standing there holding the door. Finally, he turned his head and said in the stereotypical Adam Sandler voice, "Ahhh, who we kidding? I'm not going in there!" Giant grin on his face. We both laughed and then he continued down the street. Awesome.
