Stopped in front of a Starbucks and was looking for someone to take a pic of us. Saw a dude get out of the Starbucks and asked him without really thinking much. The dude says yes of course and is really nice about it. Only realized he was Matthew McConaughey when I asked for my phone back and thanked him. Chill dude and very down-to-earth. I work at a restaurant in NYC, first time I served here I treated her like a normal person, didn't acknowledge that she was famous or anything like that although she is probably my number one crush of all time.
I was really nervous to even talk to her to be quite honest. She paid the bill, left a very generous tip, and told me I created an outstanding dining experience and asked if they could talk to my manager. One of the biggest compliment boosts of my life. They come back and I wait on them often, I would nearly consider us friends now as we are on a first name basis.
While they were fishing the Rock appeared out of nowhere, ready to go fishing with his cousin. It was an epic experience especially for my cousin's son who just turned I went to grade school and high school with her as well as played softball and went to church with her. She is truly the most humble person I have met. Not once did she ever bring up or boast about her modeling lifestyle which was blowing up at the time , but rather made a point to ask how I was doing instead.
She is a truly classy woman and I am glad to have met her! She didn't want to bother him, so she just did her job, but at the end of the night she told him how much she had enjoyed seeing him in a production of Hamlet that year , and that she hoped he was planning to do more theater in the US.
Just a really nice guy who loves acting. I worked room service and the bar at a hotel she was staying at. She ordered room service and I brought it up. She was in casual clothes and was extremely nice and courteous and tipped well. Not a spectacular story but it caught me by surprise. When I heard she was staying I expected her to be a super diva like some of the other ones we had stay. Met him after an American Ham show at his now our alma mater for a pic. He got down on a knee for it because I'm in a wheelchair, hence lower to the ground.
I sort of joked that he didn't have to do that, and dead serious he goes, 'son you should make everyone take a knee for you. That guy is operating on another plane of existence. I went to her talk show once front row and something was going wrong with some equipment, so she just sat on the edge of the stage and chatted with us for a few minutes. Then gave everyone Japanese candy. She was so sweet. The candy was not, blech. He waited around and took selfies with everyone waiting for their bags while he waited for his.
She tried to take the fastest picture ever because she was embarrassed to bother him and he made sure the picture was good before she left. Barrymore literally looks like she exudes butterflies and rainbows. I mean, her beauty line is called Flower.
She is generally regarded as one of the sweetest most down-to-earth celebrities and her co-stars speak to this truth. Tom Hiddleston is so genuinely nice that he has a YouTube video dedicated to this very fact. He has brought soup to reporters on the red carpet and loved up on his fans, showing graciousness the whole way.
In he told Empire magazine about how his first server job changed his life, saying,. Sheeran has been on Sesame Street to teach kids how to behave nicely and regularly helps fans propose to their significant others while at his concerts. This is a good dude and I support him wholeheartedly. Just look at Tom Hanks! He is like America's Sweetheart, for real. I mean, the guy has a vintage typewriter collection that he geeks out over on Twitter and he's even given some fans a refund from his own pocket when they didn't like his movie.
Jackman was asked by an Australian news publication how it feels to be known as one of the nicest men in Hollywood and he replied,. Rodriguez impressed everyone with her inspiring and gracious speech after her Golden Globes win , showing the world she is just as sweet as she is talented. Early this year, a fan reached out via Twitter asking to borrow her Globes dress for her prom, and Rodriguez said yes! Perhaps connecting to a random stranger for 45 minutes was one of his good moments, a situation where he didn't have to play a role?
A situation where he actually felt a connection to another person? I sure hope it was, and just like with other people with depression, I somehow wish I could have helped him. Heart breaking stuff. I was talking with her for a while when she casually mentions that she is going to be in the new Star Wars film. Being 17 and huge nerd, at first I just thought she was fucking with me. I was so dumbfounded I actually said, "Take me with you.
StuffHobbes Report. I was never a big fan until I saw her rap on SNL and I fell in love with her she is so funny and seems like a genuinely nice person.
The wind whips up, blows all the the flyers out of her hands, as she's struggling to pick them all up, this dude Richard Gere runs over to help her out. When they get them all off the ground, he hands a stack to her and says "Don't worry, it gets better" then smiles this warm, charming-ass smile and goes on his way. When he eventually played it at the end, it was the updated, modernised version of it After the show he was signing stuff.
Mostly just flyers or people's bodies etc. I told him I'm a big fan of his rap-metal material and he reacted with genuine happiness. He told the bouncer to let me and my girlfriend into his VIP spot and told us we could drink what we wanted while he finished signing stuff. He joined us some time later and I spent the night partying away with him and hearing lots of stories, some funny, some pretty messed up about the record industry. Then we went to a nearby Casino where he proceeded to happily drop hundreds onto the roulette table.
An experience I'll never forget, he was very humble and we genuinely enjoyed each other's company. The guy knows the world views him as a parody, and he made peace with it.
He released the rap-metal albums knowing they weren't going to go far, but done it for himself and regrets nothing. Years ago I was working backstage at a theatre in NYC. We were hosting a ballet company that was doing their annual holiday time money grab.
This particular year it was a production of the Nutcracker aimed at children. Word travelled quickly that David Bowie was in the audience with his wife and kids.
The organizer of the ballet passed them a message through the ushers that asked them to stay after to meet the dancers and take pictures. When the time came to collect David Bowie from the audience and usher him backstage, I was somehow nominated and as a huge Bowie fan, I was star-struck and panicked. I quickly devised a plan wherein I would greet Freaking David Freaking Bowie and walk him quickly to the backstage entrance, say "right through here, sir", and duck into a nearby restroom.
Getting to the stage from that particular door was a bit of a labyrinth ha but the thought of trying to keep it together while walking them the all the way to the stage was just too much.
All goes according to plan until I go to enter the restroom. David Bowie pivots and says "Oh, is that the restroom? Me and Bowie. Pissing in tandem. You know how sometimes your brain throws out the most bizarre thoughts in the the most awkward situations in order to make you laugh? All I could think of was "I wonder if he's spinning his testicles like those metal balls in Labyrinth That was my uncomfortable brush with greatness.
RIP, Bowie. We love you. He was very nice. I was like 8 years old by the way. Jimdontcarrey Report. I worked at a small FBO and he flew in. I was recently obsessed with A Clockwork Orange. So he came over to introduce himself and my dumb ass says "How's the wine?! Spent about 30 minutes talking about that film and Kubrick. Such a great dude. It's a well-written, emotional episode, and when he asked what I wanted to talk about I just started crying.
I told him that was my favorite episode of Doctor Who and he asked if it was difficult, sometimes. He was the absolute sweetest person ever.
He actually reached up and brushed tears off my face, and hugged me, and I can't repeat enough how nice he is. Sidenote- he was there again last year. He remembered me, not because of the crying, but because he liked my costume and I was wearing the same one. My wife and I were at Planet Comicon in Kansas city last year when he was there, and his line was empty. We were getting his signature for my brother-in-law who is a big Trekkie.
We were expecting the standard shuffle through and signature experience, but he stood up, shook both our hands, and then just talked with us for what seemed like minutes, but was probably only about 2. We talked about his musical and when it was coming to the Midwest, and about his daughter's first job in Iowa, but how she missed the California weather. He was the highlight of the convention for us. I was doing the ride portion and you are required to give a speech and get people ready to ride the 3D motion ride.
Well my girlfriend now wife was in the section before me and called me on the phone we had and whispered "oh my god, I just gave Steve Martin the pre-show speech! The doors open and people started filing in and lo and behold there was Steve Martin with his entourage.
He smiled at me, said hi and shook my hand and sat in the back. I went up, gave my speech and during my speech people would usually talk while they buckled in and he was hushing people around him and held his attention to me for the entire thing. At the end of the ride, i took his 3D goggles i issued to everyone and he said thanks again to me again and gave me a handshake. They all left and all I could think about was how damn polite he was.
The thank you's and hand shakes felt genuine. You can tell when people are just saying thank you to say thank you or what not and it felt like he actually gave a damn. My wife and I still bring it up to this day. Steve Martin, if you are out there.
You rock man. Salael Report. My sister approached him at a restaurant in NYC about his dog saying how cute it was and he took the time to talk about the dog, the breed, and offered a puppy of the same breed since the dog had just given birth. My sister explained my parents didn't allow her to have a dog despite wanting one for so long so he came over to our table and made a case for my sister on why she should own a dog, then offered to personally buy her a dog.
It was a really nice gesture and it's why my sister's dog is named Mickey although she tells everyone he's named after Mickey Mouse because she's embarrassed about the story ". My friends and I saw him smoking a cigarette alone and I went up to him and said "Hey, you're Steve Buscemi. Can I have a hug? She was interviewing cosplayers for a hobby segment. She seemed genuinely interested when asking about what character people were dressed as and having them explain the setting they came from.
She liked my Slenderman costume and called me out of a crowd to come get interviewed. After it was done and she and her posse was walking away, she lagged behind them and I sorta stammered out, "Thank you, Ms. She stopped and turned around, and said, "Please, it's just Whoopie. Mogey3 Report. I was in the airport lounge for American in New York waiting for the early flight to Chicago. He came in with all his entourage and sat in the seats across from me.
I pretended to read my newspaper this was the early 's but was watching him the entire time. When one of his "people" went to the coffee service I went up to him and asked if I could say hello to Mr. The guy said "Sure! He loves it when people come and talk to him. We sipped coffee and chatted for about 25 minutes until I had to leave for my flight. He can't sign autographs because of his Parkinson's, but he was the nicest, kindest man.
It was kind of a weird experience. I don't think that this will surprise everyone, but he was basically a teenager in a 40 year-old's body. We asked him if the meet and greets were the only thing he was doing that day and he said he had actually just come from a middle school, where he did some kind of speaking event for the students. He said it was funny because a student asked him how much money he made and his response was basically, "I don't know, dude, I have people that handle that.
Butterbean6 Report. I was working in a 6 star hotel bar, I walked up to him and explained that what I was about to say was frowned upon before complimenting his work as Spyro the purple dragon. He was pretty happy. Drinksandbird Report. Went to get into a lift with my girlfriend but a ton of people were getting out and some were still in. I saw a hand come out of the lift, take my girlfriends arm and pull her in, I followed and stood next to the guy who had pulled her in.
Mark Hamill! My girlfriend had no clue who he was. I thought it was nice that he would actively get people into his lift. Wish I'd been able to speak to him. Fun fact, I'd only been dating my girlfriend for a couple of months at the time, and she took me to the celebration as a surprise because she knew I was a big fan, she'd never seen Star Wars at that point.
She is now my wife! Noeli0 Report. I was working at a retail store in the Pittsburgh airport alone one morning. Slow day, no customers for about an hour, then she walked in. Sold her a portable charger for her phone and we chatted about Pittsburgh for about 5 minutes. Really nice lady. Met him in vancouver Canada when he came here randomly.
I was working at a bar he dropped by. Super chill guy. Took a photo with quite a few people, but I never got one because I was too shy to ask him. He seemed to be very genuine, and not overexcessive with his money.
He wore pretty simple clothes as well, I think like a regular plaid shirt and jeans. Got him to roll down his window and I was like "Will! What the heck are you doing in Winnipeg!? Must of made a wrong turn in Saskatchewan" That was basically all, I wished him well and he ended up getting away as his lane was moving faster. From an earlier post: I volunteered to help with his foundation's event where the recognize a local sports hero.
That year it was Jimmie Johnson. They auctioned off goods to raise money for the charity with Junior as the auctioneer. At the end, us lowly volunteers were in the kitchen, getting a sandwich meal they had packed for us after cleaning, and in walked Junior with a double armful of live orchids. They had been the centerpieces on the tables at the auction. I thought everyone had left but us. He goes to every lady in the room and gives her one and thanks her for volunteering.
He shakes all the guys hands and smiles and talks for second, calling everyone "Buddy". I was actually the last guy he stopped at, being the closest to the door, and he shook my hand and thanked me. If you never met him, he was a stunningly immense human being, like a mountain of muscle. He saw my wedding ring and gave me the last orchid and said: "This is for your wife. Tell her it's from Junior Seau and that her husband did a good thing today. She probably wonders what your doing out this late.
Thanks, Buddy.
