Most of the nice celebs I have met sadly show my age:
Patrick McGoohan famous for the The Prisoner series and Dangerman, he was a delightful guy. Teddy Sheringham and Sol Campbell in their Spurs days. I am Arsenal fan but was looking after some young fans at our local club who Spurs drew with in the FA Cup. The guys were great with the kids after the match, patient, friendly and signed autographs and chatted. I met former Prime Minister Ted Heath who was a truly lovely gentleman. I was only 14 when I met him and not easily impressed.. I met Helen Shapiro a few years back when I took a couple of disabled people I supported to a concert she was really friendly. My eldest son is a Villa fan and has met a few players who have been friendly and relaxed especially when dealing with children, Gareth Barry and ex Villa man Darius Vassell. The person who sticks in my mind as being awful was ex Man U and England player Brian Robson. There were scores of children who idolised him and were excited that he and Man U were playing at our local club. The rest of the team were great and stayed behind for and organised party (it had been a player's testimonial) Brian Robson had been swept away in a private car. He did not even give a wave to the hoardes of children waiting to see him. |

Now Brian Clough, there is a man I loved as well, even though he was acidic at times! |

I've just read that Prince Phillip is only 5ft 6in. I would have thought that he was 6ft+. It just goes to show that when seeing people on screen, the camera adds height. I would never have imagined that I would have been taller than him. That's shocked me.

I thought the same about Madonna. She looks like a giant on TV but in real life she's actually fairly normal height. Not massive, not tiny but definitely much smaller than the camera makes her look.

Girls Aloud... Especially Nadine. Melanie B. Danni Minogue. Louis Walsh. Thom Yorke. I haven't met many celebs, but Lenny Henry was lovely when I met him years ago. Mika is a really lovely down to earth bloke too. |

^ Katie, that was a lovely thing to do.
![]() There was a lady who used to be in Brookside and used to present that 60 Minute Challenge programme on ITV afternoons... I'm thinking her name was Claire something... Anyway I was amazed to see her walking up the road to my local station as I was walking down! It's like seeing a tv actress in the local corner shop!! Anyway she must had realised that I was looking at her like 'I know the face from somewhere...' and just smiled sweetly. Great persona. Quote:

Oh, and both parents met the late, great Richard Whiteley at a club 'do', early in the seventies. Apparently, he was a bit of a ladies' man and really rather liked himself, but had mellowed when they bumped into him a few years later.

Met Johnathan Rhys Meyers in NY last year, he was sitting next to us in a restaurant and we got chatting. He was very nice, very sexy, very down-to-earth and did I say very sexy......

I'm not sure if I mentioned Robert Carlyle before?? He's such a lovely, sweet man..... he has time for everyone.... very nice.
I met Robbie Coltrane at the weekend too and he's a laugh and a half! Me and a pal got ambushed by him at a bar and he was very entertaining and forward!! I wasn't expecting it at all, but to say he's larger than life in every way would be to hit the nail on the head. I liked him...... a very different and refreshing encounter! |

Met 100's of very very nice celebs and those who are quite well know too. Easier if i just list the ones who I thought were miserable jerks or who weren't that nice.
Edward Furlong (Young John Connor from Terminator movies) Loathsome and disinterested. Right up himself. William Shatner, Beyond cretinous and spoilt. So far up himself he can tickle his own tonsils. Seems to be getting worse as he gets older. Herb Jefferson jr Use to play Boomer on the original Battlestar Galactica series. I met him about 4 times now and he is always the same. Will ignore people when they speak to him and generally looks like he might self combust with anger. Weird , not nice guy. Forget his name but this next one did the male HOLLY on Red dwarf. Miserable disinterested git. |

Amanda Burton (complete cow)
Cyndi Lauper (misery guts, altho I'm reliably informed she's not usually so) Steven Tyler (Aerosmith - great bloke) Robert Carlyle (nice bloke, great actor) Daniel Day-Lewis (God of acting and so humble. I was nearly on my knees - no, not like that! Get your minds out the gutters!!!!) Robbie Coltrane (as Soulmate says above, he was a laugh) Carole Malone (she was actually nice!) Fifi Phillips (just weird) Boy George (flirty but also a laugh, able to take the pee out of himself) Catherine Zeta-Jones (OK, I only walked past her but she smiled at me - sighs) Renee Zellweger (very, very nice) Patsy Kensit (nice and much prettier in the flesh) |

Amanda Burton's name always crops up as one of the 'less likeable' celebs in these kind of threads. Anyone care to enlighten me? Is she really as icy as some of the characters she plays?

Prince Charles, really down to earth and funny, will chat to you about anything and everything, just his minders don't like him chatting. I was very so so about him until I met him and totally converted, lovely fella, a proper ace.
