Generalise much?

bump!

Yes, my friend was on The Chase, had nothing but good to say about him.

From a friend who did an advert with George Cole.

He was quiet, but very professional. Didn't really talk much unless you approached him. Gave polite one-line answers to questions, but didn't really instigate any conversation. He seemed happier when talking about the people he had worked with in his older career (50s) than Arthur Daley etc. But a very easy bloke to work with due to his professionalism.

I have heard Jennifer Lopez is a total diva and is terrible when she appears on television, demanding the earth and shouting at staff.

I met Joanna Lumley, Bernard Cribbins and Derek Jacobi yesterday and they were all lovely.

Met Janick Gers (guitarist from Iron Maiden) this weekend doing his shopping in local shopping centre, was a gentlemen and happy to stop for a handshake

I am a) not suprised, fan of all three for various things and b) rather jealous.

Only ads I can think of for George Cole were the old Leeds Building Society ones.

They were a good 30 years ago!

Yes, I've waited years to meet them , then they all turn up at once!.

Yes, I remember them too.

Eric Morecambe was the same. I ran into him not long before he died in London and he was delightful and immediately did a routine for us. He must have done the same thing many, many times before. But he made it fresh, as though he'd just made it up for us there and then. Lovely man.

I also worked with John Thaw many years later. He had a reputation of being somewhat difficult, so it was a real surprise to find he was an absolute gentleman and very courteous to everyone who worked on the production.

Others I've met and worked with...

Roger Moore is an absolute legend. Probably the nicest guy in the business. He never seems to forget how fortunate he is and what a brilliant life he's had.
Michael Winner: he might have had a fearsome persona but that was his act. In private, he was an absolute pussycat.

Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart is a lovely fella, spent a while talking to fans and signing autographs.

Don't know if he's classed as a celeb but I met Elliot Wright from TOWIE in a club in Glasgow, was very friendly and nice.

There's a vid of a women approaching Brock Lesnar & his wife Sable. She asked for a picture but he politely decline saying "no, not today"

Well at least he wasn't too big if an asshole

I'd have asked him about Alastair Sim and working with him
In Scrooge and the St. Trinians films. Love George Cole!

I would actually be surprised if someone who has become a one man empire on Kids TV (no one who has a young child can fail to be aware of who Justin Fletcher is or at least who one of his many incarnations is) didn't have a bit of an ego. He must have enormous self confidence and a lot of energy at least. I'm also not surprised that he always treats kids well I think he must be pretty shrewd and know that he's got where he is by being able to respond to children well - I don't wish him ill will he's obviously knows what kids want and is happy to give it to them and is someone who is making the most of his talents.

I know an actor who worked with Bradley Walsh, and had nothing but nice things to say about him.

He also said Rod Stewart was a good bloke when they shared a table at an event, whereas Jim Davidson, who was on another table, was obnoxious

I've heard he is a top bloke.
My brother- in-law frequently goes to a certain pub in Yarm & he's seen Janick in there a few times, being a massive maiden fan he was gobsmacked when he first saw him, but he said Janick was brilliant, got a photo with him & chatted for a while.

Mine are all pretty Z list and from when I was at university so don't go expecting miracles but;

Diva Fever (X Factor 3 years ago (ish) - met them at a club in Leicester, the taller guy was really nice and pretty drunk but the short one was shooting dirty looks everywhere and couldn't wait to get away. This was in the wake of them leaving X Factor, must have been a matter of weeks after, but you'd have thought he would embrace his thirty seconds of fame.

Jamie Afro - again, early casuality of live finals X Factor. He was nice enough.

Chloe Sims (TOWIE) - met her again, in a club recently with her boyfriend who I hear is on TOWIE at the moment. Both were lovely, but Chloe was genuinely hilarious. Was properly friendly and getting into the swing of things laughing and joking.

Booty Luv - performing at a bar I used to work at. They were fun and chatty.

Nick Grimshaw - met him at a service station outside of London. He was really nice, stopped for a chat and a photo and told us he was going to visit his mate "in the country". Genuinely nice.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Saw her outside of a TV studio in Surrey, she was so friendly. This was years and years ago, but genuinely, she was so so nice.

Rachel Shenton (played Mitzeee in Hollyoaks) - I always thought she seemed really nice, I saw her in a Morrisons just outside of Stoke and she was reading the celeb mags. I saw someone stop and talk to her and she shot them a dirty look and couldn't even muster a smile at me as I walked past.

Deana (ex Big Brother, series 13?!) - came into a shop I worked in. Was a bit withdrawn, a lot shorter than I imagined but was pleasant.

I was so lucky to have met my fave idol actor Iain Glen (Ser Jorah Mormont from Game of Thrones), Downton Abbey a couple of weeks ago at a Cricket charity event.

He is seriously gorgeous, sweet, kind and very friendly. Gave a lot of his time to me. He even wrote back to me when I gave him a letter and told him I run a website on him and he wanted to see it. He wrote me a lovely 2 page letter saying amongst other things how impressed he was with the website.

Have met Fern Britton and husband Phil Vickery a few times. Both very friendly and down to earth, especially Phil.
Colin Baker (ex- Doctor Who) is a lovely friendly chap and his wife is. Happy to give the time of day.
My OH bumped into Joe Calzaghe and asked for his autograph - he was happy to oblige, even though he was on holiday. He also met Christopher Lee (one of his life-long heroes) a few years ago. He said he has a presence that has you quaking in your boots - but he was happy to sign a book for him.

He is a workaholic and kind of temperamental I think. My sister worked on Timmy a loong time ago and I remember she said that Justin was obsessed with his work being perfect and worked a lot of hours....he was often short with people but was a great guy....second to none with kids.

Baker always strikes me as a lovely man ever since he was very amusing on the program that aired on the last DW anniversary (not this one but the one before although there is a skit still available on You Tube called 'The Fiveish Doctors' which features Baker, Davidson and McCoy happily sending themselves up which was tied to this one) and all accounts of him on the Doctor Who Live Journal forum have confirmed this - in fact pretty well most of the DW/Torchwood casts have been great with fans.

Christopher Lee always comes across as a great bloke too and incredibly erudite.

Saw Colin Baker in a coffee shop in Cornwall some years ago. He was quiet, gentlemanly, extremely polite to the staff and quite charming.
