Who Was The Nicest Celebrity You've Met? (r/AskReddit)

for those who had real-life celebrity encounters who was rude and who was actually nice Tony Hawk late 90s he came to our local scatter park for a demo but it was a tiny little indoor park and he couldn't do much after skating for a bit to appease the crowd he snuck out the back across the parking lot to the bowling alley me and two friends followed him he invited us to bowl with him bought us chicken tenders and french fries and talked about skateboarding with us for over an hour honestly one of the coolest guys I've ever met fast forward 20 years later and I get to meet him again at our local scatter Park unveiling that his foundation helped pay for and man he was just as cool we chatted a bit at the water fountain I mentioned that as a kid he treated us to chicken tenders and french fries at the bowling alley when I was just a kid and wouldn't you know it he was like oh in Amity Ct wasn't the scatter park called b-17 I was simply floored he went on to explain he was having a rough day that day and just hanging with three little kids bowling and talking skateboarding made him realize just how great life was thank you for everything you have ever done for skateboarding Tony dude I would freak the freak out if I ever met Tony Hawk I never really skateboard it but I was freaking obsessed with the sport Hawk was and still is my favorite professional athlete super stoked to hear that he's the freakin man net viggo mortensen quite a handful of times as he used to go to the restaurant I managed at the time he was one of the nicest most down-to-earth celebrities we had he would after we offered join us for dinner once the restaurant had closed and would bring small gifts every time for everyone I've heard he's genuinely decent which makes me happy since I loved his acting I have two the first is Jerry Springer I met him while traveling when we happen to be staying at the same hotel he was super nice took photos and answered questions all smiles and jokes the second is Steven Spielberg I met him at some benefit I got invited to as a teen due to having good grades awesome crap and he not only had a super normal convo with me but when I told him where I really wanted to work but hadn't been able to get an interview he took me to the next table where the company's CEO wasn't introduced me worked there for five years after hot dang I'd buy a ticket to every Spielberg movie after that even if I didn't want to see it Bruce Campbell or some dude he signed my army of Darkness poster stay groovy ash Andre 3000 this was over 15 years ago when I was in high school I worked a local family-owned plant nursery and Ray his wife are there then baby boy used to come in and shop almost every weekend he was a super nice guy one time he bought an entire pallet of sod he had a brand new Lincoln Blackwood pickup truck and the palette wouldn't fit in the bed with the forklift so I had to load it by hand he went in bought a pair of gloves came back out and helped me load it also told me that he was going to go home and lay it out by himself kind of shocking considering how much that guy's probably worth something that didn't strike me at a time that I now realize as an adult was how good of a father he was his son was just a baby but man did he love that baby every time he would walk up to put a piece off sod in the bed of his truck he would peek in the window and make a face at his son sitting in the backseat the kid would cackle like a banshee after we finished he gave me a $100 tip which to a 15 year old in the early 2000s was a ton of money truly a stand-up guy and a very talented artist made mr. Rogers years ago in a drugstore he was super nice to the several people that had been quietly following him around the store his wife on the other hand seemed annoyed with it we never deserved him Stone Cold Steve Austin found my dog that ran away and picked him up off of the highway he ended up cleaning up our dog and gave him tons of toys before we got him back if you want your dog back give me a heck yet rob lowe met him at a kid's party he's related to a kid that was at my kids they care awesome guy very friendly jay leno I've met and observed him at the rock store many times always a nice guy friendly love the guy this is literally the most uplifting news in the history of mankind Chris Hemsworth and Scarlett Johansson regularly frequented the restaurant I work out for a bit and they are both genuinely awesome people Ashton Kutcher and my luck unis were way too preoccupied when they came in to even acknowledge my presence of trying to wait on them my friends partners best friend is the Hemsworth brothers mum's godson and they have hung out with the fam a couple of times through that very reliable Lincoln Viator one conversation we've had about it I can report I have heard nothing but good things about the Hemsworth's I once spilled a very large very colourful drink on Kate Hudson my girlfriend and I ended up in a VIP area at a music festival totally by accident we weren't supposed to be there but walked right in not knowing it was restricted and since we were there we decided to stay we ended up in a corner as to not draw attention to ourselves and I would walk over to the bar occasionally to get just drinks and bring them back a few hours and more than a few rounds later my girlfriend decided she had to have one of the plastic yard glasses of margaritas that they were selling so I attempted to bring back one and a few beers on my next trip I made it within 10 feet of where we we're stationed when I sidestepped a dancing girl tripped and spilled the entire yard glass on a women when she turned around I realized that the women that I had just soaked was Kate Hudson she was incredibly awesome about it and luckily my girlfriend had an extra shirt with her that she could change into a co-worker noticed Robin Williams flipping through a book quietly at a bookstore I worked at it was during the filming of Good Will Hunting so he had a beard and wasn't so recognizable she said I think that's Robin Williams he looked up from his book smiled and then put her finger to his mouth SH HHH I know I had to deal with Cindy Lauper as a hotel worker and she was a complete B to me because there was a light bulb burnt out in her room back in the early 90s Keanu Reeves came to a Shakespeare play festival being put on by Airy high schools in the boxers and he took a moment to come backstage and compliment my friend on his performances bottom in Midsummer's Night Dream sounds like a small enough thing but it made my friend feel like a rock star have always been a Keanu fan ever since Rory McCann the hand from Game of Thrones he was in Sydney and I figured I never get this opportunity any other time so I went up to him he was very nice and shook my hand he didn't want a photo but not a big deal was just cool to meet him and this was like a few days right after his chicken episode where he was like I understand that if any more words come pouring out your sea mouth I'm gonna have to eat every fricking chicken in this room he did an interview where he said fans asked him to tell them to freak off and they both leave happy Diane Keaton I was with my husband and kids at the beach where she owns a home she complimented our beautiful children and was very friendly my husband didn't realize who it was until she was gone and I told him shared an elevator with Beyonce back in the early 2000s when she was doing the Destiny's Child farewell to her it was my dad me Beyonce and a hulking bodyguard my dad being my dad didn't know who she wasn't assumed they were a married couple and gave the man crap about carrying all the bags himself she laughed he kind of giggled a bit and they looked at each other awkwardly then they hopped off the elevator and walked straight onto a tour bus with her face plastered on the side at which point my dad asked wait who is that but five strokes Evan would share an elevator again as long as you're not sharing an elevator with so longe you'll be safe Jaden Smith wouldn't leave my store thirty minutes after we closed neither would his security guard the girl he was with or the eight or nine other girls that were clearly asked to stay at least 30 feet away from him he kept saying bro it's cool Woori bro it's cool it's cool Frick you Jaden there are about 20 people in this store that can't go home until you get your stupid entitled belt out of here the next day he accused a hotel down the street of trying to poison him with ricotta in his crepes I went through an airport security line with Keanu Reeves he was super cool and open for about a five minutes conversation they had closed the line behind him so it was really just the two of us for a bit he was even good-natured when I asked if I could take a selfie with him good dude once we got through the line a crowd gathered quickly and security whisked him away I'm sure this will come as no surprise but John Cena is one of the nicest and naturally awesome people in existence he came to visit a new enlisted rec center they built for us back in the mid zeroes to do a meet and greet while he was only booked to be there from 1400 to 1600 when we told him that most of the sub school students didn't get out class until then he said he'd be more than willing to stay later he hung out with all the guys who came to see him shooting pool playing darts and Xbox and pretty much signing everything and taking a ton of pictures the dude is just a straight-up class act you can tell he is so genuine too he does so much for people and is always nice I don't think I have ever seen any bad press from him how is he remember the video of the time TMZ tried to get him to say something bad about a wrestler that had just come out as gay and it completely backfired and just showed how nice he was Bruce Willis I was a Knick taxi driver and I pick him up at a restaurant very late at night he starts asking me all these questions about the long hours how much a good cabbie makes a night etc he asks me if I am married I say yes asks about my wife I tell him marriage is great but we aren't together much due to the long hours I Drive the cab we get to his place hands me $1,000 and says now go take a week off and spend it with your wife true story man what a guy I hope you took the cash and had a week with your wife dude David Beckham I didn't know he was at the time I was staying at the Grand Hyatt in Hong Kong and Galaxy was there for an exhibition game there were a lot of fangirls outside with posters and crap in the roped-off area near the front entrance I'm in the elevator and DB walks in I give him a nod and he gives me one back then I ask him if he knows what all the commotions outsiders he just shrugs and says it must be someone famous staying there we get to his floor and he gives me a wave goodbye and exits my work colleague later tells me that Beckham is staying there based on the pics he saw the fans waving I look up his pic online and realize it's the dude I was chatting with in the elevator nice guy Emily Aviv in essence was absolutely wonderful some friends and I waited after a concert for autographs and prior to Amy emerging the bouncer type guy laid out in no uncertain terms that we weren't to try to touch her well one friend had had depression and even essence was one of the things that got her through her teen years so she broke down in tears when Amy got to her in the autograph line and Amy just went in and gave her this giant comforting hug hard to do since amy is so tiny she was fabulous I saw her a few years ago and we weren't allowed to touch or have pictures with her but I asked for an autograph to be made up to my dead brother who introduced me to them and she just gave me the biggest hug can confirm very tiny woman I was waiting for an order in a bakery about 10 years ago poorly sure walked in looked around a Northup eyes then looked at me and said look at all these treats my life was complete many years ago I was in a gallery with my girlfriend at the time and she said isn't that Lou Reed might seem that guy at a lot of openings and in fact I'd mentally categorized him as that guy who looks like Lou Reed but I realized yes it was so I told her this but he'd been walking to the door when we said this and had heard us and he stopped by the door turned around crossed his arms and looked right at us the message was clear I'm leaving so if he wanted to say something now is the time my girlfriend walked over to him and said I just want a your hand he said put it there and they shook hands and he left it was really civilized and I always had a soft spot for him after that r.i.p lo i used to work in a cafe in a very small town in new zealand around ten years ago billy connolly was doing a to of new zealand his wife as a kiwi and he's well document in his loving the place and who was around the town I was working in he strolls into my cafe ten minutes before closing asking if we're still open I stand there dumbfounded and just about swore in his face thinking holy crap you're Billy Connolly of course we are open he was an absolute delight beyond polite sat and chatted with a table of local ladies and roared with laughter when they said he should have had his coffee for free I could buy the place if I wanted to why wouldn't I pay for my coffee he is everything I aspire to be as a human kind jovial hilarious and clever saw Matt Damon at the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin he seemed like he was doing his absolute best to keep a low profile so he didn't go talk to him but he certainly didn't seem rude bonus one of my team mates from college met Ryan Lochte after a meet team mate was in his hotel room just hanging out and launched knocks on the door and asks to borrow their ironing board they let him have it and a few minutes later housekeeping comes by and asks to see their ironing board apparently Lochte had thrown his out the window and tried to take my friends to cover it up they thought the whole thing was hilarious so the perception that he's an immature [ __ ] is right on them I once walked outside of my house to run in grab a coffee as I was waiting at a crosswalk I begun to recognize the fella waiting in front of me I said excuse me I don't know if you know this but you're John Malkovich then Johnny extended his hand and said indeed I am and shook my hand a kind gentleman he was I once got a haircut next to Adam Sandler I was like 11 I said hi and he sort of just glanced at me I met Rob Dyrdek at an outdoor mall in his hometown back in 2011 at the time I was a huge fan and was even wearing a detect DC hat he was there for a family member's birthday so the whole family was with him we casually went up to talk to him and he was very kind and respectful he could see that my friends and I were skateboarders so he stood and talked to us for a minute while the dads talked about boats and other dad things people ran up for quick pictures but he made us feel appreciated for supporting him he left with telling me I like the Hat god bless and they went on with their night 14 year old me couldn't be happier he was as cool as he seemed I've encountered a few celebrities from my days working at a popular casino Gordon Ramsay was very polite and very nice to talk to I left that interaction thinking what a cool guy quite the gentleman Ricki Lake is adorable I didn't even realize it was her at first but once we caught on she sat down with us to discuss her weight-loss journey and stayed for a good half hour she was witty and charming such a delight Charles Barkley was very down-to-earth no entourage no security just came into our store to shop and very willing to chat and take pictures if you wanted Brad Garrett from Everybody Loves Raymond what a miserable guy would not acknowledge anybody with eye contact specifically asked us not to talk to him and if you approached him to see if he needed any help you got this death stare like you were the founders piece of garbage oh and as a bonus the first celebrity I ever met was Liza Minnelli when I was a young boy I remember she had a big furry cuts and this little dog the dog came over to play with me she then came over and patted my head telling my dad you have such a cute little boy very nice lady my first celebrity experience when I first moved to LA was meeting Weird Al Yankovic he came in to eat at the restaurant I was hosting it and while his date was in the bathroom before they left he was was sitting in this lounging area we had being all of 18 and thinking I was playing it cool I asked so you King on anything new like I knew him personally or something he just kind of shrugged and said not really and was followed by another 40 seconds or so of awkward silence he wasn't rude or nice it was obvious he wasn't in the mood though which I totally get now nearly two decades later I met him at a meet-and-greet and he was very sweet and kind but not a wild and crazy guy you expect him to be I feel like if I had just met him and he wasn't famous I would peg him for someone who was kind of shy and introverted he probably wasn't being rude he may have been genuinely uncomfortable Bill Murray almost hit me with his car he did that I'm sorry face people always make when they almost kill you with a car do I get a reward for having the most boring Bill Murray story he almost killed you he only stole some of my french fries this cat is shocked that you haven't liked this video yet like it fast so they can calm down if you are new to the channel you can subscribe I publish new videos every day until then check another video or don't neither way have a great day you
