I've heard quite a few negative stories about Peter Dinklage from fans. I just think he's not a huge fan of the attention he receives.
Hes a nice guy , he loves Belfast people and our accents, granted he gets pissed of at assholes and plonkers asking for selfies when he is enjoying a pint. A couple of times he even when behind the bar and served pints and had a laugh with bar staff.

Hes sound

Jason Mamoa - Very cool and down to earth guy.
Peter Dinklage - Bit of a douche.
Lena Headey - Very nice lady & very attractive.
Lovely to know that Lena was so nice to meet. I have considered her one of the most gorgeous actresses for 20 years.

Anyone have positive memories of meeting Paul Daniels? Has anyone met the lovely Debbie Mc Gee, as she always comes across as very pleasant

I haven't met hijm, but I saw him on stage at the start of his career (mid - late 1970s) & he was brilliant. Very funny, and very clever.

I think he seemed pleasant enough and wasn't up himself.

The most unfriendly without a doubt was Lulu. She genuinely see's herself as some mega A list Diva. Her behaviour was appalling. Pretty much all The Wanted boys were vile too which the exception of Jay. The egos that some of them had was bizarre given they weren't really all that, Tom and Max in particular thought they were the best thing in music. Apart from Jay who has been able to distance himself from the band, I don't think its a coincidence they have now more or less vanished.

The nicest celebs I've met Hayley Attwell, Danny Dyer, Harry Styles, Jodie Marsh - yes for real! Peter Crouch, Jessica Ennis, Emma Bunton, Marvin and Rochelle Humes and Ant and Dec.

Edit Brendan Cole was lovely too.

Many on here probably would't consider her to be a very well known celebrity, but last summer I literally bumped into soul singer and occasional TV personality Mica Paris on a very narrow pavement, close to the School of Art in the Garnet Hill area of Glasgow.

Unlike many 21 year old's, I actually consider her to be one of my favourite artists of all time, being that I'm a huge fan of old school soul and R&B music. Therefore I recognised her instantly and knew she was in Glasgow, starring in a musical that night.

Being that I'm a fan, I actually got a bit starstruck and just stood staring at her for about five very awkward seconds! Anyone who knows the area will know that the pavement is extremely narrow and only really allows one person to walk at a time, so she was literally cornered!

She obviously realised that I recognised her, and actually came across as very shy and awkward, swiftly edging past me to continue walking. I'm also a shy person and often don't know how to react when strangers approach me, so I didn't judge her negatively for this, also considering that she comes across as very bubbly when on TV. She also probably didn't know how to react considering I definitely don't look like someone who would typically be a fan!

One thing I did find funny though is that it was a typically gloom day in Glasgow, yet she was wearing sunglasses! She is also very tall and I can imagine others being intimidated by her. I do however sometimes regret not having said anything, maybe it would've been nice for her to know that someone less than half her age is a huge fan of her music!

Lulu better know as the Glasgow bike by folk in Scotland, like Cilla Black a rather nasty piece of work.

Met him some years ago when he was having a walkabout in the town centre where I lived. Nice fella, asked if I was going to that nights show, totally not showbizzy.

Oli Sykes from Bring me the horizon Has a reputation for being an utterly foul man, but he was at a friends band's gig and really friendly, had a good chat and my son took photo's.
I had the pleasure to meet Oli Sykes once, he's actually really friendly, he took time to have some photos taken and even gave me a quote for a project I was doing at college!

Lovely guy, his band mates were ok too, but this was when Curtis was in the band and he just looked peed off all the time.

My Gran never liked Paul Daniels, she used to work in the box office of our local theatre and Paul Daniels was booked in. Usually the stage hands would set up the stage and put any props out but on this occasion Daniels and his son said that they had to be the ones to set up the props as if one of them was in the wrong place it could mess up his trick completely.

The stage hands watched them putting everything together then when Daniels and his son left to go and get some food they decided to go on the stage and mess about with the props to try and work out how certain tricks were done. Anyway, Daniels and his son came back and caught them and basically Daniels told the stage hands to leave his stuff alone. They took offence and went around slagging him off to anyone who'd listen but to be fair I think they were in the wrong so they deserved a telling off.

My mother went to the show and due to her mother being staff she was allowed in the bar afterwards and met Daniels and said how much she'd enjoyed his show and he was absolutely lovely.

Going back to the 1970s, Frankie Howard was a doll, & Tony Blackburn was a douche.

In the 1990s sax player for Iggy Pop, Mr Steve McKay was a wonderful & nice man

Paul Daniels always laughed about this joke a friend played on him. From his autobiography “Ken had ‘dirty pictures’ of Debbie. These weren’t just dirty, these were disgusting. My face must have been a picture and then I looked up to see him in convulsions. I don’t know who had done the job and, now that I am into computers, I know you can do magical things with images, but on these you really couldn’t see the join. Having doctored the images using photos from God knows where, they had then taken the trouble to transfer them to Polaroids. I could’ve killed him. I guess he got me back for leaving inflatable sex sheep in his bed on the honeymoon night. It was his Welsh origins, you see.”

Its claimed some journalist has copies, they dont.If the pics were real then the journalist breaking the law by even possessing them. Ever since the Extreme Pornography Act of 2008 came into force, it has been a criminal offence to possess any image which “portrays in an explicit and realistic way any of the extreme acts set out in section 63(7)” – of which bestiality is one.

A lot of people seem to get on with Nathan. Not sure if they say that because his work pays there wage or if he ok. Fans go crazy so hard to tell from them. He seems a bit more confident in him self nowadays since going solo from 2 years ago. But no idea!

When I was at uni in London I worked part time at Kensington Palace, two people stood out as absolutely nasty , Diana and that odious sidekick Burrell, he was a snide always grassing and toe licking to the royals, had two bollockings from her because a certain person she was obsessed with refused to take her phone calls and the other because of the snide Burrell, I lasted 8 months as the place was literally an awful work environment.

That surprises me. Had the idea he was nicer.
I met John Simm many many years ago on a night out. He was lovely, although no where near as famous as he is today. To be fair I was slightly intoxicated and he probably wanted to get rid of me quickly which is why he agreed to hug me but hey - I'm not complaining

Nice: Brucie - lovely bloke
