People Describe The Absolute Best Experience They Ever Had With A Celebrity
December 30 | 2020

Celebrities and artists of note are just people, too. That is the first rule to remember when coming face to face with a star. They are no better than the rest of us mere mortals. That realization should ease the anticipation or disappointment should they prove to be less than kind. However I've had encounters and heard stories were the celebrity couldn't have been nicer. Meryl Streep is a gem. Idina Menzel is a sweetheart and Lady Gaga is super tiny. So my divas were on point.
Redditor u/Qazival wanted to hear about the times they've encountered the famous by asking.... Which celebrity did you meet and found they were much kinder/ruder than you expected?

<p>Despite that, after the show was over, Jack Black came back out on the stage and just chatted and joked around with people for like an hour. My buddy yelled out, "I love your shirt!" Jack Black yelled back, "I love your shirt! Trade me!" Then he took of his shirt and threw it to my buddy, who threw his shirt to Jack Black. Jack Black threw my friend's shirt back after pretending to try it on (my friend is much thinner than Black, haha), and then told him to keep his shirt from the concert.</p><p>It was a great experience!</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/klpymn/which_celebrity_did_you_meet_and_found_they_were/ghaq6s6?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">schoonerw</a></p>

Renee
<p>I met Renee Zellweger and she was so much kinder than I ever could have imagined. This was when hurricane Harvey hit Texas. I was working at Austin Pets Alive and we took in thousands of animals from hard hit areas. It was insane. One day Renee Zellweger just showed up to volunteer. No warning, no fanfare. In fact, the only reason I noticed her is that she was wearing long sleeves and long pants and it was august in Texas. She spent a week volunteering. </p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_3" style="min-height:280px"></div>

<p>She did laundry, cleaned out poop covered crates, and drove vans of dogs from Houston to Austin (not a pleasant job with the smell and the barking). I hope this doesn't get buried because she was truly amazing. So so nice and hardworking. The laundry room was next to my office so we became friendly over the week she was there. There are multiple news articles about this so it's legit. Forever a fan.</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/klpymn/which_celebrity_did_you_meet_and_found_they_were/ghat2kz?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank">arabelladfigg</a></p>

<p>I met Gordon Ramsay once at a book signing event, I was just walking around the area and ran into him on his free time. He was actually so nice and down to earth.

Nicole
<p>Kinder - Nicole Kidman. To be fair, this was back in the 80s before she hit the big time. She was, however, making movies then and had a profile. I did ask her what it was like being in films and she replied: 'Oh good, but, you know, Tom (Burlinson, her then boyfriend) gets all the good roles'. She struck me as a very genuine, decent person. </p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/klpymn/which_celebrity_did_you_meet_and_found_they_were/ghamc4s?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ThinkingOz</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_8" style="min-height:280px"></div>

Good dad.</p><p>Jamie Lee Curtis - we chatted about cameras for ages before I realised who she was (after we finished chatting).

A true star with true humility.</p><p>I won't go on about the fools. They tend to be mid-famous on the way up.

<p>Chris Noth (Sex and the City's Mr Big) sat next to my brother on a flight years ago. My brother can't have been more than 10 at the time and used to get super nervous and travel sick on flights. Chris Noth was unbelievably kind to him. Told my mum he was happy to keep an eye on him, made sure he had plenty to drink and extra blankets, and even offered him his dessert because he woke up after food had been around.

Thanks Batman
<p><br>I used to work in the music and film industry (as a grunt, when I was in my early 20s), so I've met a lot of celebrities.</p><p>George Clooney was the nicest one - SO down to earth, and would play practical jokes on the entire crew very regularly. He had these t-shirts made for every crew member to wear with the director's picture on the cover of People's "sexiest man alive", lol. (This was not an attractive director - it was kind of a joke between them I guess.) He had his car drive people home if buses weren't on schedule or whatever. He'd eat lunch with the crew rather than in his trailer.</p><p>I had the pleasure of working a show on a David Bowie tour he did in theatres. Every member of his band made a point to thank the crew members.

<p>My dad had a coworker who was in Lake Como and decided to go look at George Clooney's house. While he was standing there, he heard a voice say "Don't just stand there and stare, come have a beer inside" and it was frickin' George Clooney. So he did, and said it was awesome. This was before George was married with kids, so I don't think he'd do it now. (Disclaimer: the coworker could have been lying, but he DID have a photo of him clinking beer bottles with George Clooney, so they had a drink SOMEWHERE.)</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/BarracudaImpossible4/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">BarracudaImpossible4</a><em></em></p>

I could've done without getting hate and death threats from the girls who didn't win, though.

If you're from a big city where celebrity sightings are commonplace, or you somehow work in the entertainment industry, you're probably a lot more comfortable with the idea that celebrities are just regular people with a really unique job.
It can be hard to see through the characters they become in the media, but every now and then a person gets a peek behind the curtain. Chance encounters can often reveal who the celebrity is as a human being - and it's shockingly not always a total dumpster fire.
<p>You'd think fame would start to get to you after a while, and maybe in some cases it does, but apparently a lot of celebs genuinely don't suck as people. Reddit asked people to talk about <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fvq49z/who_is_the_nicest_celebrity_you_have_met/" target="_blank">the nicest celebrity</a> they've ever met, and these stories are honestly all kinds of adorable. </p><p>And right now we could all use a little bit of that. So let's let the celebs save the day and make us smile just by being their genuine selves. How incredibly meta. </p>

<p><br>Mine is Dave Chappelle too. I was in a college group that brought in speakers and performers so we brought him in. After his act we thought he left, so we started eating all the trays of food in his waiting room. He poked his head in and joked that we were hotboxing the room. Then he came and sat with us for an hour! He sat next to me, and when I told him it was my friends birthday and this friend was a big fan, he took my phone and called this friend and talked to him. It was amazing. This was 2005, I think right before he took a big break from everything.</p><p>- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fvq49z/who_is_the_nicest_celebrity_you_have_met/fmkregp?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">thatdbeagoodbandname</a></p>

So girl's friend flags down Danny as he's walking by and he ends up sitting with us for a solid 2 hours. Buys us a couple rounds.

Not At All Like House
<p>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.</p><p>- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fvq49z/who_is_the_nicest_celebrity_you_have_met/fmk1j5d?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">RamsesThePigeon</a></p><div class="ad-tag" data-ad-name="In_Content_Responsive_5" style="min-height:280px"></div>

Aerosmith was in town for a show and our coffee shop was near their hotel. He sat down and chatted with her for about 10 minutes. I was blown away. The 7yo?

After a long delay to make the delivery due to issues related to the getting in touch with her doctor, I was finally given the prescription and drove up to their house to make the delivery. During my drive, I was excited at meeting one of the brightest comedy stars of the time...</p><p>When I arrived, I rang the doorbell and Gilda answered. I knew she was sick, but even I was surprised at her gaunt appearance - she did not look well at all. Immediately, I realized she was very angry because of the long delay in getting the medicine to her. Unfortunately, she let loose all that anger at me.

I was not upset at her, though - indeed, I was very sad - that this brilliant comedienne was sick and was going through such an absolutely awful ordeal... This was an awful situation and not at all as I had hoped my encounter would go.</p><p>As I turned around to walk away from the door, I went several steps before I felt someone tap my shoulder. I turned around and it was Gene, letting me know that his wife was very sick and he apologized many times for her behavior. He then gave me a nice tip for the delivery service and shared his gratitude for the weekend delivery and work by my pharmacy.</p><p>I'll never forget the encounter and appreciate that I got to meet both of them, even for a brief time, under difficult circumstances...</p><p>- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fvq49z/who_is_the_nicest_celebrity_you_have_met/fmkf0px?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">PedroGarvey</a></p>

Now, for teenage guys, Mister Rogers obviously wasn't "cool" but since we all grew up watching him, so he was okay. This was around 1981 or '82.</p><p>And then one morning, we were hanging out at the Senior Smoking Area, a side door entrance to the school that faced the WQED building, talking with a kid named Randy. He was a bit of a stoner; not a great student, denim jacket with 'Led Zeppelin' written in black marker on the back, greasy hair, the whole deal. He was a funny guy and we hung out with him, but he definitely seemed destined for a difficult life, probably pretty lost, no plans for college, etc.</p><p>So as we stand there, we all see Mister Rogers walking up the path toward WQED, and we're all like "Hey, check it out, it's Mister Rogers," and suddenly he looks over at us, and his arm shoots up and he waves and says, "Good morning, Randall!", with a big smile, very energetic and sincere.</p>

<p>And Randy says "S'up Mister Rogers," and pulls another drag on his cigarette and just grins. We were speechless and were like "Dude, you know Mister Rogers??" and Randy said, "Yeh I mean, I see him like almost every day".</p><p>I'll never forget that morning because, as stunned as we all were as teenagers, I think back on it now (at well over 50!) and it reminds me just how nice and accepting Mister Rogers was of everyone. Here was this misfit of a kid, smoking and hanging out, looking a mess, and Mister Rogers cared enough to obviously find out his name and remember it and make an effort to at least say "hello" to him everyday. Incredible.</p><p>- <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/fvq49z/who_is_the_nicest_celebrity_you_have_met/fml6yez?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x" target="_blank">throwawayseptember</a></p>

Let this article serve as your reminder that - just like us - celebrities are terrible people.
<p>When the only times you see someone, they're busy being the hero in your favorite movie or belting out your favorite tune, etc. it can be easy to forget that they are pretty normal people the rest of the time.</p>

<p>Being a normal person means getting into the same kinds of terrible, horrible, no good, very bad stuff that the rest of us do. Celebs typically get the benefit of dealing with very little in the way of consequences for their actions - which is why so many of their controversies just disappear like all evidence of that one Sinbad genie movie.</p><p>Reddit user Alvinschwartz asked:</p><p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/e6d4df/whats_your_favorite_forgotten_celebrity/" target="_blank">What's your favorite forgotten celebrity controversy?</a></p><p>You guys ready for a tour through a glamorous Hollywood a hellscape? Let's be honest - you think you're ready but you're not. We kept the more violent and horrific things off of this list and we still ended up talking about some seriously disturbing stuff.</p><p>Let's get this party started the way we imagine all Hollywood parties do - with naked bongos!</p>

Under The Rug
