I was stuck in Malaga airport over twenty years due to flight delays. Bumped into the late comedian Dave Allen and had a good natter. Although I was a stranger he spoke to me as if I was part of his family. A gentleman through and through and one of the best comedians that has graced our television screens.
I met Brian May from Queen about 3 years ago when I was chef cooking breakfast that morning. On my break I was sitting in the gardens of where I worked and he sat down next to me and we talked for about 30mins about nature,local birds, bees as we had bees that made honey that we sold and used for cooking,astronomy and where we came from and grew up. He was a really charming, kind and down to earth bloke. I didn't ask for an autograph or photo or anything like that I just wanted to act like a normal human being and treat him like a normal person.
He's really kind hearted, he lodged with my in laws for a couple of years before he became famous, he stayed in touch with them until they passed away.
I bet he really appreciated that; a conversation other than 'What was Freddie really Like?'' Or what are the opening chords to 'Now I'm here'. He's a musician's musician, so I'm sure he's into those talks as well, but the same questions tend to come up... 'Did you really make your own guitar?' A chat about regular life and you avoiding the obligatory 'Selfie' Or autograph hunting I'd say was a breath of fresh air for him. Great story.
Met Rik Mayall, my mate asked him for his autograph for his wife as she was a big fan, could not have met a nicer more obliging guy, chatted away with us and thanked us for greeting him!
Would love to have met him, your very fortunate, lol. I think that speech he gave to the Uni students about life after leaving Uni, etc. Just sums him up all over, a beautiful human being. And that sense of vulnerability he had about him just made him more endearing.
A good few years ago my Mother was flight delayed at the airport. Told one of three young men sitting at the bar that she liked his hat. She'd have been well into her 60's at this point. She had a long conversation with the lads, who were very polite and responsive. Some time later she saw them on TV, still had no real idea who they were. Personally I never really liked Nirvana's music, but I have massive respect for them for taking the time to talk to her and treat her well. RIP Kurt.
George Michael was someone I met back in 1996. He was humble, and gave me his full attention for the 1 minute when I said I was a big fan. He bought me and friend cocktails.
That’s nice. I have never heard a bad thing about him. It really impressed me that he did so much for others that wasn’t discovered until after he died. People should be more George!
George was a neighbour of mine at the top end of Hampstead Heath. He spoke to anyone and everyone when he was walking his dog on the Heath. Not only responding to them, but going up and starting conversations about dogs. He also helped a lot of people locally with health and financial problems (unasked). Eg he would see a story in our local paper, get in touch and help out.
I went to college with Curtis. He's always been a prick. He was freinds with all the drug dealers, and up his own ass going through school, even before he was in the running to become a pro. 100% the type of lad to start an argument and then hide behind his gang is the other person argued back.
When I were a lad, I often bumped into Eric Morecambe as he lived in the same place as me ( Harpenden ) Eric was ALWAYS friendly courteous and polite towards me. An absolute legend & gentleman
As a child I literally bumped into Ernie Wise whilst walking in town with my mum, 'town' being Peterborough, this must have been about 50 years ago and I still remember he didn't acknowledge the collision* in any way. * over dramatic?
I mer Ernie Wise and his wife Doreen in Maidenhead in the mid '90s. I suddenly saw them walking to their car. I was absolutely bricking it in case I messed up. I said hello and then said to Ernie, "May I shake your hand?" I was trying to sound calm and grown-up. I was actually in my late 20s but felt about 10. Ernie gave a lovely smile and said, "Bless you" and shook my hand. They got in their car and drove off. I had to sit in a cafe for over an hour to get over the shock of it all. Lovely people and a great memory and honour for me😊
Got a story about Prince Andrew when i was in the navy,everyone disliked him,arrogant snob,but when he went aboard his first ship and had to meet the captain he shook his hand and apparently said hi you can call me Andy to which the captain replied and you can call me sir,what a put down in front of his fellow officers for that utter prick
Haha that's great, had me laughing! I've heard he's such a nasty piece of work. Even by his own security team that have now come out about all sorts of stuff. Thanks noah!
What I've taken from my 53 years on this planet is we get 70 or 80 years on this earth if we're very very lucky. Nobody is that special that they can't be replaced, were are all small cogs in this game of life some bigger than others but that's all. Within 50 years of your passing hardly anyone is going to know you even existed, yet alone care. The crappiest thing you can ever do is treat a complete stranger with disrespect, if you do that then you haven't learnt the most basic lesson of life.
For my 40th birthday in June 2022 I went to see Queen + Adam Lambert in Birmingham. We caught the train from Shrewsbury my home town to Birmingham where the concert was. We sat opposite José Mourinho who was the most down to earth friendly person, he initiated conversation with me and my girlfriend and we asked him why he was visiting Shrewsbury where he boarded the train with us; he was in Shrewsbury visiting a young disabled lads family he had met and befriended when Chelsea was drawn to play against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup a few years ago. The young lad sadly died of a brain tumor but he has stayed in touch and regularly visited the lads family ever since. Prior to meeting him on the train, my impression of him was of an arrogant and inpolite person from watching his interviews on TV, but he is the most friendly and down to earth person I've met.
I've no idea who Curtis Jones is. He should realise he is only one bad injury away from being a nobody ex-footballer. Being remembered as a monumental prat on the other hand could stick with people for a lifetime.
A reliable window into anyone's personality - famous or not - is how they treat people they have nothing to gain from, like waiters, retail workers etc. A simple "thank you" goes a long, long way.
Henry Ford had to choose between two young engineers for a position at Ford and could not decide between them. He took them out for a meal. To one of the engineers the waitress was all hut invisible, but he was not rude to her. The other engineer asked her name and said please and thank you to her. Ford gave the job to the one who spoke nicely to the waitress. His reasoning was that he would handle his subordinates better.
Met david soul at a work photo shoot when i was 19, awesome guy, class act, spent an hour at the bar chatting about starsky and hutch and salems lot. He was very suprised i knew who he was. RIP David
Part of my childhood being allowed to stay up to watch Starsky and Hutch on a Saturday night. Did you ask if he hurt himself landing on the roof of the car in the title sequence? And Salem's Lot spooked me😮
@@mikeonfreeserve2926 I didn't unfortunately ask him that, there's so many questions I wish I'd asked. Spent the evening kicking myself for not asking certain ones. Salem's lot spooked me too. Nightmares for years over that boy at the window.
@@mikeonfreeserve2926 I remember him speaking about the car flop on BBC radio, a short time after the show had ended. He said he had quite badly injured himself during that scene. There’s lots of further information about the incident, right here on UA-cam.
I was in a shop in London and the guy who played Ricky Butcher in Eastenders (Rickaaay) I think he's called Sid Owen, was being rather rude and pushed into a queue in front of everyone. When someone challenged him he gave it the old chestnut "do you know who I am?" really aggressively. The person behind the counter refused to serve him and he blew his top at them. The assistant still refused to serve him and Sid was told he wasn't going to be served as he'd pushed his way to the front of the queue. He then threw his un-purchased items to the floor and stormed out with a face like thunder, shouting "do you know who I am?!" "Effing cxxts" and allsorts of swearing and shouting. Everybody in the queue was cheering and clapping as he left though, which made him look like a right plank 😅
I used to live in Nuneaton. The camp comedian Larry Grayson lived there. He was the nicest person you could wish for. He would shop in the local market and loved talking to people. Fame and fortune did not go to his head. Sadly no longer with us. A lovely very funny guy and sadly missed.
Years back I working in Nuneaton, staying in a B&B near the hospital. We used to pass in the van, Larry every morning on his way back from the newsagents, paper under his arm poodle on lead. We papped and waved every day, and he always blew a kiss back!
I met Cyrille Regis at a West Brom supporters function and dispelled the myth of never meeting your heroes. He was humble, courteous, articulate and happy to chat about anyting. I loved the big guy and still miss him to this day - A true Gentleman.
To play for the Albion, the Villa. Wolves & Coventry and be loved at all of them tells you everything. When I heard he'd died on the radio at work I had to 'disappear' for a bit to compose myself
@@telstar4772 Saw him play hundreds of times and met him too you spiteful no mark. Less of the 'grip' as well because you have never been inside a barracks.
Met Roger moore years ago in Ireland whilst painting some railings outside a really nice hotel. This big limousine pulled up i thought whos that? Anyway cut a long story short he gets out i shouts now then Roger he looks at me smiles and says its bond james bond and walks into the hotel. Had to laugh
I was in a Cote restaurant in Kingston sitting outside on a sunny day with my wife and Basil, my west highland terrier. I looked up and from nowhere Roger Moore was looking down and smiling at Basil, ‘he doesn’t bite’ I said. Rodger with a raise of his eyebrow replied ‘but I do’
He recently moved to the same road where my friend's mum lives, near Crosby. It's very funny he's so arrogant as she neither knows nor cares who he is! 😂😂
I met Bernie Madoff in a hotel lobby in Tampa back in 1997 he was a great guy and told me about a great investment that would make me millions. Sadly I already had all my cash tied up in a gold mine run by a Nigerian prince so I had to decline Bernie's offer.
Phill collins was a absolute diamond ,was working at the NEC putting out the chairs for his concert and while he was doing a soundcheck he noticed how hard we were working . He got our boss to give us a decent break and he paid for our drinks and lunch .
@@richardevans7035 he didn't really speak to us as he was doing a sound check but seemed a decent man if not a little shy , the worst celebrities I met were Bryan ferry who was so far up his own backside , Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown and ghey treated gheir staff so bad it was so shocking .
@@richardevans7035 unfortunately I have met some others because of ghe jobs I've had ,and I've found out that usually but not always if they play a nice character in the tv or screen they are the opposite in real life . And their all human not the celebrity gods a lot of people think .
Agree with Craig Bellamy. My mam worked with Special needs children and was over NUFC training taking the kids to watch, he was the only one of the footballers on the team to get out of their car and talk to them and I feel that is such a nice quality in a human.
@marko-1987 that's great, yeah I could feel his energy right away. Smiling, laughing etc. Defo has gotten misrepresented in the press! Thanks for your comment! Please give a sub 🙏 😊
Manny Ramirez of the Red Sox was a swine. The only member of the team to totally ignore a group of cancer stricken children from the Jimmy Fund Make a Wish program. as useless as tits on a bull.
I met my local postman once nicest guy you could ever meet .we stood by the gate and chatted for several minutes about the weather..it just seemed so natural......amazing memories...
Cool . I met a nice lady on a plane once - she show me how to do the alphabet in sign-language - 'Macaton'' I think it was called . She was humble and polite and lovely to talk to . We also talked about the vacuous worship of celebrity & how soulless it is .
@@truth.952 Funnily enough I had a similar experience with our postman. Ever since he has popped by almost every day and even brings us presents. Never asks for anything in return. Comes across as just a regular, genuine guy
When it comes to “Celebrities “, I’ve learned decades ago not to be starstruck by anybody. Whether they are footballers or movie stars, that’s just their job, it doesn’t make them anymore special than the checkout lady in Tesco. Take the labels off these people & you see them as they are. Many of the finest people I’ve met will never be known outside of a small circle..💚
@@ScottHamesJournalist I grew up in Ipswich and John Peel lived in a village a few miles away. He was often seen in the town but no one bothered him. He wanted to be treated the same as everyone else.
So true. They are just the same as everyone else. Simple as that.

As a dj in the 1970’s and 1980’s I interviewed Willie Nelson 5 times. He was always humble, polite, and gracious. I was playing every track on his Columbia album Sound in Your Mind and he was very grateful. On December 9th, 1981 on his tour bus I told him that I had learned that day that there was to be a Willie Nelson stuffed doll. He smiled and said, “I haven’t heard about that. Wonder what they stuffed it with.” Hank Williams Jr. also was very nice and cooperative during two interviews. Most of the country music stars were very nice and genuinely appreciative of radio airplay and the interviews
Met Liam Gallagher walking with his son on a Berlin street. Just the two of them. Liam is one of the most gracious people I have met. Spent a while chatting and showed a genuine interest by asking questions about us. He did more talking than we did. He happily had us take photos with him. A real gent.
I used to know a stage designer who worked with a lot of singers / groups. He said that both Kylie Minogue and Elton John were an absolute pleasure to work with. Both really friendly, really respectful and really kind, but also exacting in what they expected of the people who worked with them on tour, which is to be expected.
Whilst working on 2002 Brit Awards we were both stuck backstage waiting for the same cue & she gave me a smile would melt the coldest heart. Stunning, can't get her out of my head even now!
Years ago I met Bobby George the darts player, he came to my parents pub to play darts. He was the nicest man ever he was kind and polite he was known for wearing diamond rings on most of his finger which he let me a little 17 year old try on I had a diamond ring on every finger. Ive never forgotten him 40 years later thats why you should always be kind to people it leaves a lasting impression.
i played Bobby Geoge at darts and beat him! i was about 6 at the time in my local rugby club where he and Cliff Lazaranko did an exhibiton together.......... i was about 16 years old when i finally realised , what a great bloke he was
As an Irish viewer I have met Aidan Gillen, Robbie keane and Paul Mcgrath. All of them were doing charity work for sick children as my son had cancer at the time. They were all gentlemen. Paul Mcgrath came to my home and gave me a signed Everton shirt from Seamus Coleman, a precious moment as we are Everton fans. ❤
Hope your son made it through that difficult time! I lost my full cousin to cancer we both was 15, something that I've carried ever since. Thanks for sharing, please subscribe if you don't mind! 😊
Just subscribed mate, very sorry to hear about your cousin cancer is a horrible disease, my son is 12 now, he had 4 brain tumours altogether from the age of 5, he beat them all and is in the clear over the last 2 years. I thank the lord everyday 🙏 and I hope your pain eases a bit in time, all the best mate.
My dad, aged 12 was in a hotel with his aunt in 1943 and sat next to a big Yank Airforce officer at breakfast who helped him take the bones out of kipper. The officer gave his aunt two tickets for a USO concert that evening at the nearby airbase. The officer? Clark Gable.
My daughter was Cabin Crew and lots of Celebrities would be on board. She thought Prince Andrew was rude. He had his body guard next to him and when serving drinks my daughter asked Prince Andrew if he would like a drink but he would whisper to his body guard and then he would relay to my daughter what he wanted…knob🤣
Yep...I served Rik Mayall in a "retail" situation back in the early nineties. He was taller than I imagined and looked VERY handsome when he wasn't occupying his comedy personas. He was also VERY friendly and down to earth.
Met Ian Wright at Heathrow airport going to Australia. Class act!! He was flying 1st class but when we got to Japan he shouted my mum & me up to him in the queue. He,s the friendliest guy you could ever meet.
I know someone who used to speak to a lot of celebrities as part of his job role. You probably won't be too surprised that David Walliams was absolutlely horrible. However, not as bad as Elton John who would treat staff at the company so badly he was told to take his business elsewhere.
Apparently when the production team behind Shaun Of The Dead were asking musicians if they could use their albums in the garden scene where Pegg and Frost were throwing vinyls at the two zombies, Sade excitedly encouraged them to make a joke at her own expense saying that her music's bad. Her and New Order were also the only two artists who let them show their album artwork on screen and were both just generally very chilled out and easy to deal with.
Interesting ! The story with sade was when she was young and her career was going nowhere my friend lenny convinced her to carry on she never forgot this and they kept in touch and when lenny fell on hard times she would replace a washing machine or whatever she turned up in a little brown sports car at the cemetery and came back just for sandwiches n tea with 6 of us as I say she couldn't have been nicer !
I met Patrick Moore when I was thirteen. He was absolutely lovely. He was on the same train as my Dad and me. He signed his autograph on to the book I was reading and let me talk to him for a while. Such a gentleman.
I travelled to London in September 2022 to pay my respects to Queen Elizabeth ll who was lying in state. At the back of the queue in Southwark Park near the bandstand we all readied for the long wait. Joining the queue came Dame Kelly Holmes who was very polite and friendly, chatted to many attendees paying particulat attention to an OAP checking he was alright. The kids loved her, posing for many selfies and I thought she was fantastic. I have always appreciated her athletic ability but here she showed what a great human being she is. I wish her well.
Bowie is my hero and I've met people who met him and said he is the nicest fella you could meet. But I imagine at that level of fame it is hard to actually get around. My mate met Dalglish in a club in Spain and spent two hours just talking about the world. Said it was just the best two hours of his life. So friendly and normal.
My husband sees Kenny Dalglish regularly, he works at Lfc, he absolutely thinks the world of him, real down to earth guy and hilariously funny in that dry , witty Scottish way.
My daughter's friend is cabin crew on a well known airline. She said the worst celeb she met was David Walliams, who was the "Don't you know who I am?" type. The nicest were the Beckhams.
Meet Paul McCartney around 1982 at Broad Street Station, London whilst he was on set filming Give My Regards to Broad Street. A real gentleman - I was stationed at Liverpool Street Station on nights and he couldn't do enough for the people. I had a photo taken with him, he signed both my Beatles White Album and Sgt. Pepper's remarking "that's an old one" He, along with brother Mick McGear (The Scaffold fame) also signed my sister-in-laws autograph book. We were allowed on to the film set at Broad Street where we met Beatles Producer George Martin. We were over the moon at meeting Paul and met him a couple of more times as the filming continued on for a few nights. Now there is a 'legend' who's never forgotten his roots - you'll do well to remember that in future 'Mr Jones'!!!!
Congratulations. I have always wanted to meet McCartney. One part of me wants to tell him how much his music has meant to me in my life. Another part of me realises that he's probably heard that quite often, and doesn't really need another random telling him that.
Nicest celebrity I ever met was Bobby Charlton, for a guy who was so famous, he was so down to earth. Met him a couple of times actually, and the secind time was with his wife at the golf in St Andrews, and she was just like everyones favourite granny.
Through a complicated marriage and in-law situation, Bobby Charlton was a member of my dad's family circle. He always treated my grandad with respect and took time to talk to him. He and Norma were lovely to everyone at family occasions. They used to drink with my parents in the local working man's club in Middleton. I can't see today's footballers having a pint in a working man's club 😅.

@@shamudogsmith1751 Bobby and Jackie Charlton grew up in Ashington with the legacy of Jackie Milburn to live up to. In Milburn's day he would do a shift down the pit and then go play football. I think the Charltons appreciated the fact that they could be professional footballers without having to work down the pit. Jackie Charlton once got done for poaching, fishing some stretch of river for which he didn't have a license. This was after he managed the Irish national team and could easily afford the fishing license. You wouldn't catch today's footballers doing that.
Had mad respect for Chris Kamara since he was at the Olympics in... Rio? Someone got robbed, everyone stood around doing nothing while Kamara chased and caught the guy. Legend.
Rio, he was lucky he didn't have to run off in five directions to catch all the thieves. We had a conference there once, not my section, but almost everyone came back robbed, or beaten up.
My Dad was reversing into a tight space in a carpark in Manchester, cause of how tight the cars were parked together it was such that no-one could walk past till he had finished parking up. We had all got out so we wouldn't struggle out the doors when he finished parking up. Well he was making a hash off it, took him quite some time to manage it. Which meant he ended up blocking four lads from coming past and exiting the car park making them wait till he finished up. I thought, Oh! their gonna have a few words to say about this. No, they waited patiently, clapped (none sarcastically) when he'd finished and congratulated my dad once he has squeezed out the car and wished us all good day or words to that effect as they walked off out the car park. Only years later once they'd achieved fame did I realise those lads were Noel and Liam, and the other founding members of Oasis (except Bonehead).
I’d never heard of Curtis Jones till this video but then I’m not much into football 😂 The celeb I never regretted meeting was the late Olivia Newton-John. It was at a meet and greet after a concert in London in 2017. I’d been a fan since I was a little kid and told her I enjoyed the show. She said “thank you, and thank you for coming!” She must have heard that thousands of times, and said the same thing thousands of times over the years, but it came across as really sincere and 100% heartfelt. I plucked up the courage to ask her for a hug, and it came out a bit formally - “I wondered if I may have a hug?” and she gave a huge smile and said “of course you may!” and flung her arms around me. It’s still one of the best hugs ever…

Had a long chat with Steve Marriott (Small Faces) when he use to play the local London pub circuit in the 80's. Lovely funny bloke and so down to earth. Gave you the feeling that he was just as happy to talk to you as you were to him. Only negative 'celebrity' meeting experience I had was Robert Plant. Arrogant and up himself.
I saw plant live recently, maybe he keeps the nice stuff for the stage. You got the sense in Zeppelin he was up himself... Got with his wife's sister, then wrote a song about it. Etc.
@@mikethebloodthirsty I was in college around 1999 with the son of a guy who was roadie for Led Zeppelin. Story was that Plant was a tosser, Bonham was sound. I forget what he said about Page, but something in my mind is telling me he said he was a tosser too.
Met Robbie Williams when he was hiding out in Australia on a stint getting his shit together, solid bloke, we smoked a cigarette and watched the sunset together, talked cryptic deep shit, shook hands and that was it, gold.
Fookin' Elle are you my cousin Donna? Robbie Williams taxed a durry off her outside the Adelaide Hilton and they smoked cigs together and had a few laughs!!
I saw him on a documentary about Skinwalker Ranch in Utah (famous paranormal hotspot), although he was just another bloke there, introduced by the main guy investigating as "Robbie from England". None of the people there realised he was so famous, he was just there hanging out, drinking a beer round a camp fire.
A long time ago a friend had car trouble after midnight when she flooded her engine, and she was stuck at traffic lights in Richmond, and Paul and Linda stopped behind and helped her out. I was so jealous! Later, my parents lived near Peasmarsh and we would hear good stories about them in the community.
Frank Bruno used to visit my school when I was kid..he went same one...was just as you'd imagine very friendly humble with wicked sense of humour..us kids loved him
I also worked in an international airport for a few years. I met some celebs who were very friendly and occasionally one or two who showed their downsides. The late comedian Frank Carson was hilarious and spoke to me on the level as if we had known each other for years. He had excellent social skills. On the other hand, Ronan Keating was vile and obnoxious. I actually think he is dyslexic because he titled his compilation CD ‘10 years of hits’.
I remember seeing him on one of those saturday morning kids show's at the hieght of boy zone's fame were he was asked by a pre-teen girl in the audience how he comes up with his lyrics to which he gave a long winded reply about his inspiration and talent despite every hit song they'd had being a cover of far superior artists work yet he gave no credit and was happy to perpetuate the belief to these kids that they were his original work
One of the coolest people I met was Caroline Munro. She chatted for ages telling me about working on Hammer horror with Christopher Lee, Adam Ant, Roger Moore etc
Wow! Caroline Munro! She made a whole generation of movie-going boys feel...funny. She was never exactly A-list but I was really shocked when she was reduced to being a dolly bird on 3-2-1.
For over thirty years I worked in advertising and marketing mainly in London advertising agencies. As a result I met many many celebs and actors who would do voice overs for adverts etc. Most of whom were surprisingly nice and amenable. People like Lenny Henry who called me up before the recording to discuss the script. He was polite and very respectful, not that I expected or deserved his respect. He had an idea for a different script which we eventually ran with. Another super celeb was Simon Cadell of Hi De Hi fame. Just pleasant and professional with a wicked sense of humor. Another was John Challis who played Boycie in Only Fools. Just a really nice guy, no airs and graces, no ego at all. But the one who got me because I expected the same of her but was taken aback by her rudeness was Angela Rippon. I worked with her on a number of occasions and though she was usually quite pleasant she could get fairly shitty fairly quickly.
I served a soft drink to the late Errol Brown from the band Hot Chocolate in a West London Tennis Club. . He was so friendly. We sat and talked for about 20mins. Such a nice gentleman. Biggest tos*er and arrogant git was Borris Becker back in the late 80's. Met Rolf Harris in Geneva Airport. He was actual quite nice. Anneka Rice was nice, all teeth but very friendly
Tought Anneka Rice to dive in Cyprus - before a "Challenger Anneka" show - she was very humble & friendly - dont know if it was because she was scared or nervous !! never did see the show
Great,somewhat underated band were the hotchocs.Their music has aged surprisingly well because that's just how awesome black music was before rap/crap fouled the zeitgeist.
Saw Hot Chocolate at Penn Fest, Buckinghamshire about 10 years ago. Only watched their set as our friend wanted to see them. What a set! Errol made the day! Just such a kind, gentle and generous performer! I'd never listened to Hot Chocolate before or since so I'm not a fan by any means but that man had charisma. So glad I watched that set and I was so saddened he died not long after.
With celebs, the bigger they are the nicer they are usually. My mum worked in a theatre and met a lot of them. We used to get free tickets for shows and often went round the back for autographs. The biggest stars were always the nicest and so down to earth with no airs and graces.
I can back up entirely what your mum says,having worked for many years in the theatre myself It's usually the little twinkies who are the most stuck-up.
Obvs, there are always exceptions, but It's more the ones that are big because of true talent & have worked hard to get there & are secure in themselves because of that.

I know someone who was holding a small party in her up market hotel room some years ago at a foreign work conference - about 1.00 in the morning a bloke turned up at the door and asked her to turn the volume down as he was trying to sleep across the corridor. She told him he could catch up the next day and closed the door. Her colleague asked why she had just thrown Bruce Springsteen out of her room…😂
These celebs are given far more praise and attention than they really warrant. They don't save anyones life or benefit anyone but themselves for the most part.
I'm not surprised to hear Eubank Jr. is a gent. He'll have been well-raised by his parents. His dad was a regular sight around the streets and sea front of Brighton when I was a student there in the '90s. Always saw him wave and smile to anyone who let on to him, if he was on his way somewhere. And if he wasn't going anywhere especially, he'd stop for a chat.
You've just reminded me of Chris Eubanks reality show it was hilarious. He is an articulate and polite man it's no suprise he raised polite, respectful kids.
@@Lily-Bravono but he did get done for using his phone whilst driving through a red light after he had already killed a man by driving like a lunatic. But oh yeah, he smiles at people so he must be a great bloke, right?
Many years ago. I was told that Adam Ant used to visit a childrens hospital in Carshalton and talk to the kids. He was very famous then and they must have been thrilled. There are lots of stories about really nice celebrities. They far outnumber the nasty ones.
I’ve met Princess Anne when she came to do an opening at a place I worked many years ago, I had to present her with some gifts for her then children (Peter and Zara), she was incredibly humble for a Royal and was so nice and chatted to me for a little while. I have also met Billy Ocean and he is really small in height and so cute ha ! Really enjoyed your video, I’ve just subbed, thank you ! 😊
I was on a train when that actor Philip Madoc came- a decent, pleasant human being- talked to everyone in both Welsh and English - had everyone laughing saying he was on his way to a murder (he was in a Welsh language murder mystery at the time) got off and everyone just thought "what a gentleman" - thats how everyone on the train will remember him and unlike your experience (sorry about that) I will always tell that story about someone who could have been full of himself - but was not. Enjoyed your stories - more please !
The Madocs lived near us and were really lovely, I remember Ruth on her bike. Must have been 45 years ago as my kids were at school with their little girl
Seen and met a few celebs/stars/sports people over the years. 1993 sat on a bench seat in Terminal 1 Heathrow. I was reading a book but could sense a kerfuffle to my left as a person sat on the end of the bench. I looked up after 30 seconds of not wanting to seem nosy. 6 or 7 photographers to my front, Madonna sat 4 feet away wearing a tracksuit and baseball hat chewing gum. She just looked at me and smiled and said "You better smile and look good on my photos". Being 18 at the time I just smiled back and got back to my book. A few minutes later a security guard whom I hadn't noticed whispered something in her ear and she got up and walked the other direction. Looked for days after to see if those pics ever got published anywhere, but I never seen them. I somehow think I would of been cropped out anyhow. But she seemed pretty cool that day.
I met Dudley Moore, early 1992 at The Lanesborough Hotel, London, he was publizing his new movie, so they had booked a hotel room for the day, i was the security man outside the room so every time he came out of the room for a break from the interviews we would have a chatter, top top bloke
Behind Jade Goody in the queue in PC World and her credit card kept getting refused. She kept apologising to everyone for the hold up. I must admit, I wasn't expecting that. My cousin said "I thought she was going to do the whole 'don't you know who I am?' thing" So did I.
Was at art school with Robbie Coltrane, don’t like to speak ill of the deceased but…see you next Thursday Met Tony Benn on a train from Brighton to London, a true people’s politician he was a real inspirational gentleman.
I used to be a civil servant at what is now the Department for Business. Tony Benn had been a minister there and as such had lots of dealings with the people in our press office. There was a woman there called Gladys, who was just a humble clerical officer. Years later, when Gladys had a retirement party, Tony Benn came back for the party and to wish Gladys well. Very different to some politicians!
@@stevebarlow3154 Tony Benn struck me as someone who would be very pleasant company, regardless of one's political views. As a politician he was always worth listening to, even if you didn't agree with him.
I used to drive a taxi in Luton back in the 90s and had to collect Eubank snr from a Versace gig at Luton Hoo, I can see where Jnr gets his manners as his dad was also real class act and tipped well! As I'm not a football fan I had to Google that tool you tool who gave you the needle, don't sweat it mate they're only paid from the waist down not the neck up.
I once went up the the Archbishop of Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx in a crowded place, got his attention, and thanked him enthusiastically for an agreement he had made with the Vatican to the advantage of many. He looked at me whilst I spoke without any expression, gave me a look when I'd finished as if he'd discovered something from the street adhering to his shoe, and shifted his body so that he stood with his back directly at me to speak to another person. I went away wiith a feeling of vague regret at having said anything at all.
I occasionally come into contact with clergy from various denominations through my job. I frequently question myself why they do the job they do. I find the majority unhelpful, self centred, abrasive usually a little narcissistic! Jesus wept.
@@ScottHamesJournalist Thanks for the appreciation! To me it's such an important topic - e.g. writing emails to important people who can afford an entire secretariat, and never receiving an answer. It's just bloody rude, frankly.
Organised religion seems to attract or cultivate some right pieces of shite, look at the amount of child abuse that goes on. My mum went to a convent where nuns taught, she still has nightmares of it now 50yrs later, said they were utterly evil and physical abuse was rampant. There’s been pics of the pope being very off with fans. Doesn’t seem to bring out the Christ like behaviour in them does it….
I think, as a born Catholic ( who hasn't practiced in 40 years since the age of 15 ) that the truth is slowly seeping out of the horrors of all man made religions. The evil within all these institutions is off of the scale....
I met the Right Said Fred lads a few years ago when i worked in clubs, they were the nicest guys ever. Super down to earth and polite with hilarious stories.
I met Sir Geoff Hurst late one night on a railway platform, great bloke he asked me did I know if there was another train going to London, I said I hope so! otherwise I will be walking home, i said to him do you fancy a kick about while we wait, he said no thanks lad I've got me best shoes on. Great fella real down to earth.
@@TheRedDevil_NC met Alex Stepney, he was relief landlord at my local pub, the Ship Hotel in Irlam for about 6 weeks back sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s, what an absolute gem of a man, referred to us all by our first names, played cards with us on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Top bloke
Michael Barrymore was the worst celebrity I came across not to me personally but he and his cronies came to a night club in Blackpool one it was a gay space , a couple of young straight girls went to say hello to him and hopefully get his autograph he was down right rude to them that one of the young girls was in tears , his cronies encouraged his nasty behaviour and they just randomly ran around bumping into people knowing drinks over they thought they were above the security of the club , but security radioed for extra boucers rounded up Barrymore's cronies and barrymore himself and threw the lot of them out the clubthe crowd cheered and booed as they were thrown out ,i never liked Barrymore before that i found him embarrassing to watch on the tv and i was glad to see him h and his arrogant cronnies get what he desvered that was truly entertaining his arrogance was his downfall
there's a lovely story out there about a kid and his dad meeting Roger Moore in Nice airport departure lounge and then decades later meeting him again - i think he was a sound engineer or something like that - while RM was being interviewed. It brought a tear to my eye - worth reading about it if you can find it on the web. I think the story came about after RM passed a few years ago.
Love that story especially as I'm a big 007 / Roger Moore fan Cool he stayed in character as 007 around the kid but not with adults, That's an absolute legend and more importantly a gentleman 👍🏻👌🏻
It was buy a guy called Marc Haynes: "As an seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?" As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and duly signs the back of my plane ticket, a fulsome note full of best wishes. I'm ecstatic, but as we head back to our seats, I glance down at the signature. It's hard to decipher it but it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. My grandad looks at it, half figures out it says 'Roger Moore' - I have absolutely no idea who that is, and my hearts sinks. I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, that he's put someone else's name - so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore, holding the ticket which he's only just signed. I remember staying by our seats and my grandad saying "he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. When I was by his knee, he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said to me, "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore' because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone that I'd just seen James Bond, and he thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.' No, I said. I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now. Many, many years later, I was working as a scriptwriter on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was completely lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him in passing the story of when I met him in Nice Airport. He was happy to hear it, and he had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond." So that was lovely. And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused, looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld." I was as delighted at 30 as I had been at 7. What a man. What a tremendous man."
@jasonvoorhees5640 the BBC is publicly funded, everyone who watches TV in the UK pays a licence fee of £170 approx a year, for that you get no adverts on the BBC .... So it's a big long party at the BBC on public taxpayer money..
I worked for many rich and famous in London. Nearly all of them, were complete and utter wankers. The nicest one ,out of the lot was, Charlie Watts.....smashing bloke.
Loved Charlie ever since, as a classic car freak, I found out he had a collection he just loved to dress in a suit that matched the car and simply sit in it and gently rev the engine without ever taking them out anywhere - top eccentric, superb drummer and perfect gentleman 🫡
@lascm5237 a horseman and a gentleman I love the line in the John Hiatt song "Slow Turning"..."banging like Charlie Watts" RIP Great channel here. Subscribed.
I was a bit scared of the Rolling Stones, lived near a couple of them, saw them in the distance a couple of times. I realise that Charlie Watts was such a solid bloke, family man, jazz fan until later in life and became a fan. Glad to hear your comment.
@@lascm5237 He never learned to drive. Saw a documentary and he said he loved the look of the classic cars and despite being a non driver he collected them.
@@catmanbill9352 Yes he came from humble working class origins. He made his money from being in a rock group but he much preferred jazz. I love the story where he punched Jagger to the floor after Mick was being big headed towards him.
I worked as a doorman for 36 years and bodyguard now and then. Met loads of celebrities with Anthony Hopkins being the nicest. Talked with him for a hour with my son who was working with me and he told us his life story and all about his parents being bakers. Rhys Ifans was another great bloke , really funny and wrote a lovely letter to my youngest son who was a spiderman fan being 5 at the time. Richard Branson was lovely and Laurence Dalalio(sp) was a gentleman. The worst I've met was definitely Jeremy Guscot who was rude to everyone and thought he was a superstar.
I used to live a few hundred metres away from Bill Tarmy who played JACK DUCKWORTH in Coronation Street . Really nice guy , he used to sing every week in our local pub .Every Friday night he used to queue up for his Fish n Chips .
I work in film and TV, and I find 99% of actors are lovely people, I tend not to talk to them unless they talk to me, the ones who iv found most vile or nasty are the fading B list stars or B list action x stunts actors, egos like children, two of the nicest actors iv ever met are Tom Hiddleston and Pierce Brosnan, both lovely human beings who even though busy took time out to greet and acknowledge the crew.
I once met Richard 'I don't believe it!' Wilson from One Foot In The Grave at the Very Dark Caves in Ireland. My mate told me to go up to him and say his catchphrase to him as he was convinced nobody had ever done that before. So I did. It didn’t end well. Fecking nasty old so and so.
I used to work in an estate agency behind the building society counter. We would get celebrity footballers coming in. All the footballers were lovely but OMG their wives were another thing altogether.
I got on a train in London many years ago and there were no seats. I was in the navy at the time on my way to Portsmouth. The train guard saw I was carrying loads of bags and said he would see if there were any seats in the first class compartments. He said yes come this way you can sit in here. A bloke with a beard and hat was sat in the first class compartment reading a newspaper. After about ten minutes he started chatting to me and he was really friendly. Then I realised in was Bob Hoskins. Had a good chat with him before he got off the train. Nice bloke.
Years ago as a Revenue Inspector.on the railway, I often encountered famous faces. 3 that always struck me as very polite were Wayne Sleep, Anne Widdecombe, and John Altman. My meetings were brief, but of all the celebrities of the day I encountered, these 3 seemed humble enough. Didn’t meet her but understood from two completely separate people that Cilla Black was downright rude with that 'don't you know who I am ? attitude.
Mate of mine works BA first class. Said Posh Spice was always very polite and respectful which surprised me since she always looks like she's just eaten a wasp. His worst experience was Simon Le Bon. Utterly obnoxious he reckoned.
There's an interview on here with Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode). Le Bon spoke down to him. Le Bon: 'Ah, don't tell me, don't tell me .... ah, Depeche Mode! I like your stuff, keep it up!'
I used to be a police officer - at one time "Beckingham Palace" was on my patch. We used to regularly get calls concerning trespassers trying to get on their property. Met both Victoria and David and they were both the most friendly and down to earth people you could meet. A real class act. We used to give Brooklyn (who was a small kid at the time) rides up and down the long drive in our car with the sirens and lights on. He loved it!
The Beckhams do scone across as being pretty normal and just nice people whenever I’ve seen them on TV. It’s nice to know that they are no different when there are no cameras around.
@mattsta1964 VB once said in an interview that it doesn't cost anything to be polite, and she was raising her son to be well-mannered (It was just Brooklyn at the time), so I'm not surprised. She always looks serious because she hates smiling.
Nice to hear that many celebs are genuinely nice people. I've had a few in my cab, John Inman and his husband, Inman was a miserable git, Heston Blumenthal was pissed but great fun, Noel Gallagher never said a word nor did Geri Halliwell, David Tennant was polite and it was the first time I heard his genuine Scottish accent. Brian Ferry got in off the street and hid behind his coat FFS! Best was the late great Victor Spinetti. We chatted through the whole journey and he was so funny and so nice. Most barely give you the time of day but as long as they are polite and pay the fare I don't care.
I was on the "up" escalator in a Liverpool shopping centre and faced Molly Sugden who was travelling on the "down" escalator. As we passed she gave me the most radiant smile. I have a couple more celebrity encounters of the same type but I don't want to brag.
I met Anthony Hopkins in the very early 90s .He was drying out ar tge time ,I was in Harley Street with my then GF who had some health issues and needed to see a specialist consultant. Hopkins was a really lovely guy and extremely articulate. I was a young soldier back then in Northern Ireland during the troubles ,he was genuinely interested.

I was stuck in Malaga airport over twenty years due to flight delays. Bumped into the late comedian Dave Allen and had a good natter. Although I was a stranger he spoke to me as if I was part of his family. A gentleman through and through and one of the best comedians that has graced our television screens.
Hi , I too met Mr Allen, in Cardiff, like you said real Gentleman, generous with his time and generous at the bar , lovely genuine man ...
That’s an awful long time to be stuck in an airport!,,😱😂
@@lauraarcher1730 You could make a movie out of that delay !... oh wait ! 🤔😂
I remember him, I enjoyed watching him perform when I was a kid.
He was a great guy. He helped my step mum when she slipped off a curb and twisted her ankle wouldn't leave her until help arrived! A proper gent!
I met Brian May from Queen about 3 years ago when I was chef cooking breakfast that morning. On my break I was sitting in the gardens of where I worked and he sat down next to me and we talked for about 30mins about nature,local birds, bees as we had bees that made honey that we sold and used for cooking,astronomy and where we came from and grew up. He was a really charming, kind and down to earth bloke. I didn't ask for an autograph or photo or anything like that I just wanted to act like a normal human being and treat him like a normal person.
He's really kind hearted, he lodged with my in laws for a couple of years before he became famous, he stayed in touch with them until they passed away.
Brian May, though Brian Cant!
@@cantcheatkarma3493Flippin 'eck. You have to be a Brit of a certain age to get that one!
@@neilanyon4792 Wow, that's a real oldie.
I bet he really appreciated that; a conversation other than 'What was Freddie really Like?'' Or what are the opening chords to 'Now I'm here'. He's a musician's musician, so I'm sure he's into those talks as well, but the same questions tend to come up... 'Did you really make your own guitar?' A chat about regular life and you avoiding the obligatory 'Selfie' Or autograph hunting I'd say was a breath of fresh air for him. Great story.
Met Rik Mayall, my mate asked him for his autograph for his wife as she was a big fan, could not have met a nicer more obliging guy, chatted away with us and thanked us for greeting him!
RIP Rik
Or is that Rick with a silent P😂😂😂
American fan of The Young Ones. Watched on MTV in the 80s. Raised my girls on the dvds. Love it too.
Would love to have met him, your very fortunate, lol.
I think that speech he gave to the Uni students about life after leaving Uni, etc. Just sums him up all over, a beautiful human being.
And that sense of vulnerability he had about him just made him more endearing.
What a great loss he was
Absolute legend, heard so many heartwarming stories about him, true gent!
My mate fitted his kitchen years ago…said he was sound as a pound
A good few years ago my Mother was flight delayed at the airport. Told one of three young men sitting at the bar that she liked his hat. She'd have been well into her 60's at this point. She had a long conversation with the lads, who were very polite and responsive. Some time later she saw them on TV, still had no real idea who they were. Personally I never really liked Nirvana's music, but I have massive respect for them for taking the time to talk to her and treat her well. RIP Kurt.
Wow that's amazing, great story Billy thank you!

My Fiancée met legendary actor Richard Harris on a trip back from seeing relatives in Cork. He was a real Gentleman apparently.
by all accounts he was a sweet and thoughtful chap. i met him very briefly and was really taken by how nice he seemed.
George Michael was someone I met back in 1996. He was humble, and gave me his full attention for the 1 minute when I said I was a big fan. He bought me and friend cocktails.
My wife and I loved George Michael, so shocked when he died….
That’s nice. I have never heard a bad thing about him. It really impressed me that he did so much for others that wasn’t discovered until after he died. People should be more George!
I've heard some lots of heartwarming accounts of George Michael as a person
George was a neighbour of mine at the top end of Hampstead Heath. He spoke to anyone and everyone when he was walking his dog on the Heath. Not only responding to them, but going up and starting conversations about dogs. He also helped a lot of people locally with health and financial problems (unasked). Eg he would see a story in our local paper, get in touch and help out.

I went to college with Curtis. He's always been a prick. He was freinds with all the drug dealers, and up his own ass going through school, even before he was in the running to become a pro. 100% the type of lad to start an argument and then hide behind his gang is the other person argued back.
Interesting and can definitely imagine what you have said there! Thanks for the insight and have a lovely day. 😊

As a child I literally bumped into Ernie Wise whilst walking in town with my mum, 'town' being Peterborough, this must have been about 50 years ago and I still remember he didn't acknowledge the collision* in any way.
* over dramatic?
You lucky, lucky bastard! 😠
I mer Ernie Wise and his wife Doreen in Maidenhead in the mid '90s. I suddenly saw them walking to their car. I was absolutely bricking it in case I messed up. I said hello and then said to Ernie, "May I shake your hand?" I was trying to sound calm and grown-up. I was actually in my late 20s but felt about 10. Ernie gave a lovely smile and said, "Bless you" and shook my hand. They got in their car and drove off. I had to sit in a cafe for over an hour to get over the shock of it all. Lovely people and a great memory and honour for me😊
Got a story about Prince Andrew when i was in the navy,everyone disliked him,arrogant snob,but when he went aboard his first ship and had to meet the captain he shook his hand and apparently said hi you can call me Andy to which the captain replied and you can call me sir,what a put down in front of his fellow officers for that utter prick
Watch Ladbible on here with the former security Guard at the palace the story about Andrew is horrific he is vile

What I've taken from my 53 years on this planet is we get 70 or 80 years on this earth if we're very very lucky. Nobody is that special that they can't be replaced, were are all small cogs in this game of life some bigger than others but that's all. Within 50 years of your passing hardly anyone is going to know you even existed, yet alone care. The crappiest thing you can ever do is treat a complete stranger with disrespect, if you do that then you haven't learnt the most basic lesson of life.
Suspect you are 100% on the money. Well said.
For my 40th birthday in June 2022 I went to see Queen + Adam Lambert in Birmingham. We caught the train from Shrewsbury my home town to Birmingham where the concert was. We sat opposite José Mourinho who was the most down to earth friendly person, he initiated conversation with me and my girlfriend and we asked him why he was visiting Shrewsbury where he boarded the train with us; he was in Shrewsbury visiting a young disabled lads family he had met and befriended when Chelsea was drawn to play against Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup a few years ago. The young lad sadly died of a brain tumor but he has stayed in touch and regularly visited the lads family ever since. Prior to meeting him on the train, my impression of him was of an arrogant and inpolite person from watching his interviews on TV, but he is the most friendly and down to earth person I've met.
I would have thought exactly the same as Jose, comes across as arrogant and impolite as you say. Glad he turned out to be anything but.
Very touching.Thanks for sharing.What an amazing guy.
He’s a real gentleman
I've no idea who Curtis Jones is. He should realise he is only one bad injury away from being a nobody ex-footballer. Being remembered as a monumental prat on the other hand could stick with people for a lifetime.

A reliable window into anyone's personality - famous or not - is how they treat people they have nothing to gain from, like waiters, retail workers etc. A simple "thank you" goes a long, long way.
Henry Ford had to choose between two young engineers for a position at Ford and could not decide between them. He took them out for a meal. To one of the engineers the waitress was all hut invisible, but he was not rude to her. The other engineer asked her name and said please and thank you to her.
Ford gave the job to the one who spoke nicely to the waitress. His reasoning was that he would handle his subordinates better.

I was in a shop in London and the guy who played Ricky Butcher in Eastenders (Rickaaay) I think he's called Sid Owen, was being rather rude and pushed into a queue in front of everyone.
When someone challenged him he gave it the old chestnut "do you know who I am?" really aggressively. The person behind the counter refused to serve him and he blew his top at them. The assistant still refused to serve him and Sid was told he wasn't going to be served as he'd pushed his way to the front of the queue.
He then threw his un-purchased items to the floor and stormed out with a face like thunder, shouting "do you know who I am?!" "Effing cxxts" and allsorts of swearing and shouting.
Everybody in the queue was cheering and clapping as he left though, which made him look like a right plank 😅

Met Roger moore years ago in Ireland whilst painting some railings outside a really nice hotel. This big limousine pulled up i thought whos that? Anyway cut a long story short he gets out i shouts now then Roger he looks at me smiles and says its bond james bond and walks into the hotel. Had to laugh
I was in a Cote restaurant in Kingston sitting outside on a sunny day with my wife and Basil, my west highland terrier. I looked up and from nowhere Roger Moore was looking down and smiling at Basil, ‘he doesn’t bite’ I said. Rodger with a raise of his eyebrow replied ‘but I do’
Just remember, you had to live with Curtis Jones for a couple of minutes. That poor sod has to live with himself every waking hour.
He recently moved to the same road where my friend's mum lives, near Crosby. It's very funny he's so arrogant as she neither knows nor cares who he is! 😂😂
Well said
I met Bernie Madoff in a hotel lobby in Tampa back in 1997 he was a great guy and told me about a great investment that would make me millions. Sadly I already had all my cash tied up in a gold mine run by a Nigerian prince so I had to decline Bernie's offer.
How did your investment turn out?

Phill collins was a absolute diamond ,was working at the NEC putting out the chairs for his concert and while he was doing a soundcheck he noticed how hard we were working . He got our boss to give us a decent break and he paid for our drinks and lunch .
Yes, met him a few times and he was lovely.
Love to meet him we share the same birthday and support the same football club

Agree with Craig Bellamy. My mam worked with Special needs children and was over NUFC training taking the kids to watch, he was the only one of the footballers on the team to get out of their car and talk to them and I feel that is such a nice quality in a human.

When it comes to “Celebrities “, I’ve learned decades ago not to be starstruck by anybody. Whether they are footballers or movie stars, that’s just their job, it doesn’t make them anymore special than the checkout lady in Tesco. Take the labels off these people & you see them as they are. Many of the finest people I’ve met will never be known outside of a small circle..💚
Definitely agree with that one wolfe, thank you 😊
Absolutely, people worship false idols.
@@ScottHamesJournalist I grew up in Ipswich and John Peel lived in a village a few miles away. He was often seen in the town but no one bothered him. He wanted to be treated the same as everyone else.
So true. They are just the same as everyone else. Simple as that.
@@geoffpoole483 John Peel did a dj set in Rockshots in Newcastle once. Some kid got down on his knees and did the "We're not worthy" Wayne's World thing. John Peel just looked disapproving of it, and offended, if anything.
As a dj in the 1970’s and 1980’s I interviewed Willie Nelson 5 times. He was always humble, polite, and gracious. I was playing every track on his Columbia album Sound in Your Mind and he was very grateful. On December 9th, 1981 on his tour bus I told him that I had learned that day that there was to be a Willie Nelson stuffed doll. He smiled and said, “I haven’t heard about that. Wonder what they stuffed it with.” Hank Williams Jr. also was very nice and cooperative during two interviews. Most of the country music stars were very nice and genuinely appreciative of radio airplay and the interviews
Met Liam Gallagher walking with his son on a Berlin street. Just the two of them. Liam is one of the most gracious people I have met. Spent a while chatting and showed a genuine interest by asking questions about us. He did more talking than we did. He happily had us take photos with him. A real gent.
Kylie Minogue was an absolute dream, so friendly and down to Earth. She couldn't have been nicer.
I used to know a stage designer who worked with a lot of singers / groups.
He said that both Kylie Minogue and Elton John were an absolute pleasure to work with. Both really friendly, really respectful and really kind, but also exacting in what they expected of the people who worked with them on tour, which is to be expected.
Whilst working on 2002 Brit Awards we were both stuck backstage waiting for the same cue & she gave me a smile would melt the coldest heart. Stunning, can't get her out of my head even now!

Years ago I met Bobby George the darts player, he came to my parents pub to play darts. He was the nicest man ever he was kind and polite he was known for wearing diamond rings on most of his finger which he let me a little 17 year old try on I had a diamond ring on every finger.

As an Irish viewer I have met Aidan Gillen, Robbie keane and Paul Mcgrath. All of them were doing charity work for sick children as my son had cancer at the time. They were all gentlemen. Paul Mcgrath came to my home and gave me a signed Everton shirt from Seamus Coleman, a precious moment as we are Everton fans. ❤

Met Suggs at a Flaming Lips gig, spoke to him for about 5 minutes, we just spoke about music, he was so nice!
Everyone you see a flaming lips gig, at least once.
I know someone who used to speak to a lot of celebrities as part of his job role. You probably won't be too surprised that David Walliams was absolutlely horrible. However, not as bad as Elton John who would treat staff at the company so badly he was told to take his business elsewhere.
shocked about EJ but instictively knew DW is a wrong un.
My sister's friend's husband had a job behind the scenes at the BBC and he said that David Williams and Catherine Tate were both pretty vile

I met the singer sade at a funeral 20 yrs ago she came back to the house there was only 7 of us there she was absolutely lovely !!!
Apparently when the production team behind Shaun Of The Dead were asking musicians if they could use their albums in the garden scene where Pegg and Frost were throwing vinyls at the two zombies, Sade excitedly encouraged them to make a joke at her own expense saying that her music's bad. Her and New Order were also the only two artists who let them show their album artwork on screen and were both just generally very chilled out and easy to deal with.
Interesting ! The story with sade was when she was young and her career was going nowhere my friend lenny convinced her to carry on she never forgot this and they kept in touch and when lenny fell on hard times she would replace a washing machine or whatever she turned up in a little brown sports car at the cemetery and came back just for sandwiches n tea with 6 of us as I say she couldn't have been nicer !
I bet she is class!

I travelled to London in September 2022 to pay my respects to Queen Elizabeth ll who was lying in state. At the back of the queue in Southwark Park near the bandstand we all readied for the long wait. Joining the queue came Dame Kelly Holmes who was very polite and friendly, chatted to many attendees paying particulat attention to an OAP checking he was alright. The kids loved her, posing for many selfies and I thought she was fantastic. I have always appreciated her athletic ability but here she showed what a great human being she is. I wish her well.
Bowie is my hero and I've met people who met him and said he is the nicest fella you could meet. But I imagine at that level of fame it is hard to actually get around. My mate met Dalglish in a club in Spain and spent two hours just talking about the world. Said it was just the best two hours of his life. So friendly and normal.
I've heard the same about the King! Great that you had that experience!
@@ChillWinston-e5f He went to every single Hillsborough funeral. Can you imagine that? What an amazing fella.

My daughter's friend is cabin crew on a well known airline. She said the worst celeb she met was David Walliams, who was the "Don't you know who I am?" type. The nicest were the Beckhams.

Meet Paul McCartney around 1982 at Broad Street Station, London whilst he was on set filming Give My Regards to Broad Street. A real gentleman - I was stationed at Liverpool Street Station on nights and he couldn't do enough for the people. I had a photo taken with him, he signed both my Beatles White Album and Sgt. Pepper's remarking "that's an old one" He, along with brother Mick McGear (The Scaffold fame) also signed my sister-in-laws autograph book. We were allowed on to the film set at Broad Street where we met Beatles Producer George Martin. We were over the moon at meeting Paul and met him a couple of more times as the filming continued on for a few nights. Now there is a 'legend' who's never forgotten his roots - you'll do well to remember that in future 'Mr Jones'!!!!
Congratulations. I have always wanted to meet McCartney. One part of me wants to tell him how much his music has meant to me in my life. Another part of me realises that he's probably heard that quite often, and doesn't really need another random telling him that.
I met a guy in the mirror.
He just stared at me, and when I frowned, he frowned.
What a snoot
hahah
Nicest celebrity I ever met was Bobby Charlton, for a guy who was so famous, he was so down to earth. Met him a couple of times actually, and the secind time was with his wife at the golf in St Andrews, and she was just like everyones favourite granny.
Bobby was my hero when I was a kid. He always seemed so nice and what a player.
@@Southbound63 And an absolute gentleman.
Through a complicated marriage and in-law situation, Bobby Charlton was a member of my dad's family circle. He always treated my grandad with respect and took time to talk to him. He and Norma were lovely to everyone at family occasions. They used to drink with my parents in the local working man's club in Middleton. I can't see today's footballers having a pint in a working man's club 😅.
@@shamudogsmith1751 Bobby and Jackie Charlton grew up in Ashington with the legacy of Jackie Milburn to live up to. In Milburn's day he would do a shift down the pit and then go play football. I think the Charltons appreciated the fact that they could be professional footballers without having to work down the pit. Jackie Charlton once got done for poaching, fishing some stretch of river for which he didn't have a license. This was after he managed the Irish national team and could easily afford the fishing license. You wouldn't catch today's footballers doing that.
Had mad respect for Chris Kamara since he was at the Olympics in... Rio? Someone got robbed, everyone stood around doing nothing while Kamara chased and caught the guy. Legend.
Yes I remember hearing that one! Apparently the authorities said you we're lucky not to get hurt.
wow - seriously! he was a legend already but he's just risen to GLOAT status now (greatest legend of all time)
Rio, he was lucky he didn't have to run off in five directions to catch all the thieves. We had a conference there once, not my section, but almost everyone came back robbed, or beaten up.
I met Noel Gallagher outside a Burger King in Australia, many years ago. Very friendly and happy to chat for a bit. No arrogance, no ego, no fuss..
Noel Gallagher is just next level of legendary. Even more so with the news that’s came out recently!!!!
Same thing happened with me but Liam. Totally normal down to earth bloke. He used to drink at a pub I was barman at
Ironically they are joining back up aren't they lol thanks for thr comment matt
My Dad was reversing into a tight space in a carpark in Manchester, cause of how tight the cars were parked together it was such that no-one could walk past till he had finished parking up. We had all got out so we wouldn't struggle out the doors when he finished parking up. Well he was making a hash off it, took him quite some time to manage it. Which meant he ended up blocking four lads from coming past and exiting the car park making them wait till he finished up. I thought, Oh! their gonna have a few words to say about this. No, they waited patiently, clapped (none sarcastically) when he'd finished and congratulated my dad once he has squeezed out the car and wished us all good day or words to that effect as they walked off out the car park. Only years later once they'd achieved fame did I realise those lads were Noel and Liam, and the other founding members of Oasis (except Bonehead).
I’d never heard of Curtis Jones till this video but then I’m not much into football 😂 The celeb I never regretted meeting was the late Olivia Newton-John. It was at a meet and greet after a concert in London in 2017. I’d been a fan since I was a little kid and told her I enjoyed the show. She said “thank you, and thank you for coming!” She must have heard that thousands of times, and said the same thing thousands of times over the years, but it came across as really sincere and 100% heartfelt. I plucked up the courage to ask her for a hug, and it came out a bit formally - “I wondered if I may have a hug?” and she gave a huge smile and said “of course you may!” and flung her arms around me. It’s still one of the best hugs ever…
Oh my, you lucky, lucky man!
My sister worked at the kids hospital in london. John terry used to visit , donate loads of kit and stay all day with the kids, insisted on no media came alone. A decent bloke with a good heart who gets totally misread by the press.

Met Michael Parkinson twice and both times he was a real twat. I heard all stories about him being down to earth, he really wasn't at all.
I think he had a huge ego!
He obviously had a good PR!
My dad met him at a golf do, Parkinson was there with his dad, his dad asked mine what he did for a living, when my old man told him that he worked security in a factory, Parkinson's dad said he was doing a proper job, unlike this one pointing at his son.
Made my old man chuckle.
Always thought he was a knob to Meg Ryan in ther infamous interview
Funny enough I've just put a comment before I saw yours. I done some plastering work for him on a big wall on the front of his house about 24 years ago, we didn't have much communication with him because he was too miserable
I've heard a few stories like this about Curtis Jones. Don't let people like that get under your skin mate it will eat you up. Chin up mate, best of luck

@@ScottHamesJournalist many sign a contract with the devil like Beckham, might be coming to the realisation and bitter he chose the wrong side, likely nothing personal
Exactly. You can tell Jones has a major inferiority complex. Probably because he knows he’s not as good as people thought he was going to be.
I think sometimes when the negative reaction is out of proportaion and unexpected it gets you off guard If obviously got under your skin. THose types of memories where you shudder to think of them. A mate was on the trains. He told me hed encountered a few celebs. THe only one who was bad was Jamie Theakston. YOu dont hear much of him anymore I suppose some poeple might be having a bad day and you happpen to be the one who gets the brunt.Maybe he execpted you to address him as MIster Jones OR God lol
Happy people do not have the inclination to act like that. Therefore he must be miserable

One of the greatest entertainers ever Elvis Presley always had time for his fans, he would often go up to the gates of graceland and sign autographs and chat with his fans. His mantra was these people spend good money on his records and paid for the shirt on his back.

Had a long chat with Steve Marriott (Small Faces) when he use to play the local London pub circuit in the 80's. Lovely funny bloke and so down to earth. Gave you the feeling that he was just as happy to talk to you as you were to him.
Only negative 'celebrity' meeting experience I had was Robert Plant. Arrogant and up himself.
I saw plant live recently, maybe he keeps the nice stuff for the stage. You got the sense in Zeppelin he was up himself... Got with his wife's sister, then wrote a song about it. Etc.
@@mikethebloodthirsty I was in college around 1999 with the son of a guy who was roadie for Led Zeppelin. Story was that Plant was a tosser, Bonham was sound. I forget what he said about Page, but something in my mind is telling me he said he was a tosser too.
Met Robbie Williams when he was hiding out in Australia on a stint getting his shit together, solid bloke, we smoked a cigarette and watched the sunset together, talked cryptic deep shit, shook hands and that was it, gold.
Fookin' Elle are you my cousin Donna?
Robbie Williams taxed a durry off her outside the Adelaide Hilton and they smoked cigs together and had a few laughs!!
@jasonvoorhees5640 Are you dyslexic?
I saw him on a documentary about Skinwalker Ranch in Utah (famous paranormal hotspot), although he was just another bloke there, introduced by the main guy investigating as "Robbie from England". None of the people there realised he was so famous, he was just there hanging out, drinking a beer round a camp fire.

He was in Take That originally, then went solo, now....I guess doing adverts?!!!

Not so fun when you go on tour with him, you are only allowed vegan food.
A long time ago a friend had car trouble after midnight when she flooded her engine, and she was stuck at traffic lights in Richmond, and Paul and Linda stopped behind and helped her out.

@MountainToClimbPodcast will do sir!
I also worked in an international airport for a few years. I met some celebs who were very friendly and occasionally one or two who showed their downsides. The late comedian Frank Carson was hilarious and spoke to me on the level as if we had known each other for years. He had excellent social skills. On the other hand, Ronan Keating was vile and obnoxious. I actually think he is dyslexic because he titled his compilation CD ‘10 years of hits’.
Whenever I've seen Ronan interviewed, he seems so full of himself and thinks he's really something, so not surprised to hear that!
I remember seeing him on one of those saturday morning kids show's at the hieght of boy zone's fame were he was asked by a pre-teen girl in the audience how he comes up with his lyrics to which he gave a long winded reply about his inspiration and talent despite every hit song they'd had being a cover of far superior artists work yet he gave no credit and was happy to perpetuate the belief to these kids that they were his original work
Frank Carson bought me a pint in Hammersmith! 🍺😉
He has what we call here in Ireland "Notions". He's a plank. No one likes him.
I met Frank Carson years ago, he was really friendly and nice.
One of the coolest people I met was Caroline Munro. She chatted for ages telling me about working on Hammer horror with Christopher Lee, Adam Ant, Roger Moore etc
Roger Moore has been mentioned a couple of times in the comments! Glad you had a good experience. thanks a please subscribe.
@MountainToClimbPodcast yeah Caroline Munro was a Bond Girl in one of his Jame Bond films. Alright mate, will do
Still a stunner is Caroline, presenting horror movies on TPTV.
Wow! Caroline Munro! She made a whole generation of movie-going boys feel...funny. She was never exactly A-list but I was really shocked when she was reduced to being a dolly bird on 3-2-1.
For over thirty years I worked in advertising and marketing mainly in London advertising agencies. As a result I met many many celebs and actors who would do voice overs for adverts etc. Most of whom were surprisingly nice and amenable. People like Lenny Henry who called me up before the recording to discuss the script. He was polite and very respectful, not that I expected or deserved his respect. He had an idea for a different script which we eventually ran with. Another super celeb was Simon Cadell of Hi De Hi fame. Just pleasant and professional with a wicked sense of humor. Another was John Challis who played Boycie in Only Fools. Just a really nice guy, no airs and graces, no ego at all. But the one who got me because I expected the same of her but was taken aback by her rudeness was Angela Rippon. I worked with her on a number of occasions and though she was usually quite pleasant she could get fairly shitty fairly quickly.
Everyone deserves respect, unless they have earned people's disrespect.
I know someone who met Lenny Henry and said he was the worst person in the theatre.
And I think with all staff too.
I served a soft drink to the late Errol Brown from the band Hot Chocolate in a West London Tennis Club.
. He was so friendly. We sat and talked for about 20mins. Such a nice gentleman.
Biggest tos*er and arrogant git was Borris Becker back in the late 80's.
Met Rolf Harris in Geneva Airport. He was actual quite nice.
Anneka Rice was nice, all teeth but very friendly
Tought Anneka Rice to dive in Cyprus - before a "Challenger Anneka" show - she was very humble & friendly - dont know if it was because she was scared or nervous !! never did see the show
Great,somewhat underated band were the hotchocs.Their music has aged surprisingly well because that's just how awesome black music was before rap/crap fouled the zeitgeist.
Saw Hot Chocolate at Penn Fest, Buckinghamshire about 10 years ago. Only watched their set as our friend wanted to see them. What a set! Errol made the day! Just such a kind, gentle and generous performer! I'd never listened to Hot Chocolate before or since so I'm not a fan by any means but that man had charisma. So glad I watched that set and I was so saddened he died not long after.
Oh i know Penn. I collect parcels from that area for work. Yes, Errol was such a polite, friendly man. A true gentleman.
With celebs, the bigger they are the nicer they are usually. My mum worked in a theatre and met a lot of them. We used to get free tickets for shows and often went round the back for autographs. The biggest stars were always the nicest and so down to earth with no airs and graces.
Totally agree.
I can back up entirely what your mum says,having worked for many years in the theatre myself It's usually the little twinkies who are the most stuck-up.
Obvs, there are always exceptions, but It's more the ones that are big because of true talent & have worked hard to get there & are secure in themselves because of that.
Tyson fury......... literally one of the biggest and I highly recommend you don't meet him in person or do any research into him or his family.
I’ve met him when he was out on a morning run(as have many others) and he was the most down to earth guy you could meet! I fear you’ve been played sir!
Obviously when on something or drunk on a night out I’m sure he can act a fool like you would
My daughter met Bruce Springsteen and his wife and said they were super kind and friendly.
I know someone who was holding a small party in her up market hotel room some years ago at a foreign work conference - about 1.00 in the morning a bloke turned up at the door and asked her to turn the volume down as he was trying to sleep across the corridor. She told him he could catch up the next day and closed the door. Her colleague asked why she had just thrown Bruce Springsteen out of her room…😂
These celebs are given far more praise and attention than they really warrant. They don't save anyones life or benefit anyone but themselves for the most part.
I'm not surprised to hear Eubank Jr. is a gent. He'll have been well-raised by his parents. His dad was a regular sight around the streets and sea front of Brighton when I was a student there in the '90s. Always saw him wave and smile to anyone who let on to him, if he was on his way somewhere. And if he wasn't going anywhere especially, he'd stop for a chat.
You've just reminded me of Chris Eubanks reality show it was hilarious. He is an articulate and polite man it's no suprise he raised polite, respectful kids.
Chris Eubank killed someone with his Range Rover and burned someone with his fireworks, he's a menace.
@@recyclinggestapo6943 Neither deliberately.
@@Lily-Bravono but he did get done for using his phone whilst driving through a red light after he had already killed a man by driving like a lunatic. But oh yeah, he smiles at people so he must be a great bloke, right?
@@brendanm6921 I was in a bar in Brighton years ago - and noticed Chris Eubank sitting on his own - 'chatting on his phone'. And then it rang!!! 😁🤣😅
My wife met Norman Wisdom and she said he was so charming and they settled in and chatted in the pub for ages, but that’s my misses I guess!
Oh Ah😉
He definitely got his nut, the old boy
I told him to get out of my pub. He was trying to juggle plates etc. Had no idea it was him mind... a customer told me afterwards 😂
Many years ago. I was told that Adam Ant used to visit a childrens hospital in Carshalton and talk to the kids. He was very famous then and they must have been thrilled. There are lots of stories about really nice celebrities. They far outnumber the nasty ones.
I’ve met Princess Anne when she came to do an opening at a place I worked many years ago, I had to present her with some gifts for her then children (Peter and Zara), she was incredibly humble for a Royal and was so nice and chatted to me for a little while. I have also met Billy Ocean and he is really small in height and so cute ha ! Really enjoyed your video, I’ve just subbed, thank you ! 😊
Thanks so much Rebekah. I appreciate your time. Have a great day!
Billy Ocean was hot back in the day! 🔥
I think Peter and Zara are still her children! But I know what you mean😉😀
@@ScottHamesJournalist They all seem pretty humble, just Harry has been bent out of shape.
I was on a train when that actor Philip Madoc came- a decent, pleasant human being- talked to everyone in both Welsh and English - had everyone laughing saying he was on his way to a murder (he was in a Welsh language murder mystery at the time) got off and everyone just thought "what a gentleman" - thats how everyone on the train will remember him and unlike your experience (sorry about that) I will always tell that story about someone who could have been full of himself - but was not. Enjoyed your stories - more please !
The Madocs lived near us and were really lovely, I remember Ruth on her bike. Must have been 45 years ago as my kids were at school with their little girl
Philip was my mums cousin. 👍

Who o earth is this idiot curtis ?
I remember Kevin keegan said he never refused a autograph always came across as a lovely bloke
Seen and met a few celebs/stars/sports people over the years. 1993 sat on a bench seat in Terminal 1 Heathrow. I was reading a book but could sense a kerfuffle to my left as a person sat on the end of the bench. I looked up after 30 seconds of not wanting to seem nosy. 6 or 7 photographers to my front, Madonna sat 4 feet away wearing a tracksuit and baseball hat chewing gum. She just looked at me and smiled and said "You better smile and look good on my photos". Being 18 at the time I just smiled back and got back to my book. A few minutes later a security guard whom I hadn't noticed whispered something in her ear and she got up and walked the other direction. Looked for days after to see if those pics ever got published anywhere, but I never seen them. I somehow think I would of been cropped out anyhow. But she seemed pretty cool that day.
I met Dudley Moore, early 1992 at The Lanesborough Hotel, London, he was publizing his new movie, so they had booked a hotel room for the day, i was the security man outside the room so every time he came out of the room for a break from the interviews we would have a chatter, top top bloke
10. Childhood crush.
Great one tony!
Behind Jade Goody in the queue in PC World and her credit card kept getting refused. She kept apologising to everyone for the hold up. I must admit, I wasn't expecting that. My cousin said "I thought she was going to do the whole 'don't you know who I am?' thing" So did I.
Was at art school with Robbie Coltrane, don’t like to speak ill of the deceased but…see you next Thursday
Met Tony Benn on a train from Brighton to London, a true people’s politician he was a real inspirational gentleman.
I've heard the same about RC. Not a pleasant human being at all.
My dad worked on Tutti Fruiti and said the same about RC
I used to be a civil servant at what is now the Department for Business. Tony Benn had been a minister there and as such had lots of dealings with the people in our press office. There was a woman there called Gladys, who was just a humble clerical officer. Years later, when Gladys had a retirement party, Tony Benn came back for the party and to wish Gladys well. Very different to some politicians!
@@stevebarlow3154 Tony Benn struck me as someone who would be very pleasant company, regardless of one's political views. As a politician he was always worth listening to, even if you didn't agree with him.
@@stevebarlow3154what a lovely story.. ❤ How fantastic
I used to drive a taxi in Luton back in the 90s and had to collect Eubank snr from a Versace gig at Luton Hoo, I can see where Jnr gets his manners as his dad was also real class act and tipped well! As I'm not a football fan I had to Google that tool you tool who gave you the needle, don't sweat it mate they're only paid from the waist down not the neck up.
Thank you mick, have a great day!
I've met sr, he was quality. In topic I'll say Tyson Fury was brilliant, he Couldn't do enough. Tony Bellew was an absolute nob
@@pete801can’t stand Tony he makes me cringe
LUTON - bad experiences at night. I understand Tommy Robinson.
I once went up the the Archbishop of Munich Cardinal Reinhard Marx in a crowded place, got his attention, and thanked him enthusiastically for an agreement he had made with the Vatican to the advantage of many. He looked at me whilst I spoke without any expression, gave me a look when I'd finished as if he'd discovered something from the street adhering to his shoe, and shifted his body so that he stood with his back directly at me to speak to another person. I went away wiith a feeling of vague regret at having said anything at all.
@1258-Eckhart wow that's terrible! You sound like someone who has great morals though and that's what really matters! Have a great day!
I occasionally come into contact with clergy from various denominations through my job. I frequently question myself why they do the job they do. I find the majority unhelpful, self centred, abrasive usually a little narcissistic! Jesus wept.
@@ScottHamesJournalist Thanks for the appreciation! To me it's such an important topic - e.g. writing emails to important people who can afford an entire secretariat, and never receiving an answer. It's just bloody rude, frankly.
Organised religion seems to attract or cultivate some right pieces of shite, look at the amount of child abuse that goes on. My mum went to a convent where nuns taught, she still has nightmares of it now 50yrs later, said they were utterly evil and physical abuse was rampant. There’s been pics of the pope being very off with fans. Doesn’t seem to bring out the Christ like behaviour in them does it….
I think, as a born Catholic ( who hasn't practiced in 40 years since the age of 15 ) that the truth is slowly seeping out of the horrors of all man made religions. The evil within all these institutions is off of the scale....
I met the Right Said Fred lads a few years ago when i worked in clubs, they were the nicest guys ever. Super down to earth and polite with hilarious stories.
@antho9101 haha that's awesome, thanks Ant! 😊
Yeah, they were both nice when I met them too, about 8 years ago
Pity about their politics
@@pifflepockle Absolutely, and their anti-vax mentality.
@@andyhinds542And the baldiness
I met Sir Geoff Hurst late one night on a railway platform, great bloke he asked me did I know if there was another train going to London, I said I hope so! otherwise I will be walking home, i said to him do you fancy a kick about while we wait, he said no thanks lad I've got me best shoes on. Great fella real down to earth.
I met the invisible man one day, really nice guy, I hardly recognised him at first
An attempt at humour. An apparent fail. Keep trying. Regards, Charlie Chaplin
They reckon he was a very open and transparent guy .
😂😂😂
@scoo😂😂😂by1992
I haven't seen him in ages.
I met Georgie Best about 10 years before he died. What a nice humble man. Maybe I just met him late. Wonder how he was in his prime
Gorgeous, thats how he was in his prime 😂😂😂😂😂 belfast people are humble
@@TheRedDevil_NC met Alex Stepney, he was relief landlord at my local pub, the Ship Hotel in Irlam for about 6 weeks back sometime in the late 80’s or early 90’s, what an absolute gem of a man, referred to us all by our first names, played cards with us on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Top bloke
Lovely - I had exactly the same experience, what a gentleman he was.
Delivering to Best's local pub. He came out so me and driver got photo's. Nice man - rest in peace.
He was a bit of a knob with drink on board. Which was a lot of the time.
Michael Barrymore was the worst celebrity I came across not to me personally but he and his cronies came to a night club in Blackpool one it was a gay space , a couple of young straight girls went to say hello to him and hopefully get his autograph he was down right rude to them that one of the young girls was in tears , his cronies encouraged his nasty behaviour and they just randomly ran around bumping into people knowing drinks over they thought they were above the security of the club , but security radioed for extra boucers rounded up Barrymore's cronies and barrymore himself and threw the lot of them out the clubthe crowd cheered and booed as they were thrown out ,i never liked Barrymore before that i found him embarrassing to watch on the tv and i was glad to see him h and his arrogant cronnies get what he desvered that was truly entertaining his arrogance was his downfall
Love that story Robert thank you! Please subscribe and have a nice day!
I heard the last thing Barrymore did was panto. I heard he did a lad in..
The Barrymoores Gang
Always up to a bit of Divilment.
He’s in the mafia.
I've met Barrymore a few times. Very dark 'energy' around him. Didn't like him at all. Gave me the creeps.
there's a lovely story out there about a kid and his dad meeting Roger Moore in Nice airport departure lounge and then decades later meeting him again - i think he was a sound engineer or something like that - while RM was being interviewed. It brought a tear to my eye - worth reading about it if you can find it on the web. I think the story came about after RM passed a few years ago.
Love that story especially as I'm a big 007 / Roger Moore fan
Cool he stayed in character as 007 around the kid but not with adults,
That's an absolute legend and more importantly a gentleman 👍🏻👌🏻
It was buy a guy called Marc Haynes:
"As an seven year old in about 1983, in the days before First Class Lounges at airports, I was with my grandad in Nice Airport and saw Roger Moore sitting at the departure gate, reading a paper. I told my granddad I'd just seen James Bond and asked if we could go over so I could get his autograph. My grandad had no idea who James Bond or Roger Moore were, so we walked over and he popped me in front of Roger Moore, with the words "my grandson says you're famous. Can you sign this?"
As charming as you'd expect, Roger asks my name and duly signs the back of my plane ticket, a fulsome note full of best wishes. I'm ecstatic, but as we head back to our seats, I glance down at the signature. It's hard to decipher it but it definitely doesn't say 'James Bond'. My grandad looks at it, half figures out it says 'Roger Moore' - I have absolutely no idea who that is, and my hearts sinks. I tell my grandad he's signed it wrong, that he's put someone else's name - so my grandad heads back to Roger Moore, holding the ticket which he's only just signed.
I remember staying by our seats and my grandad saying "he says you've signed the wrong name. He says your name is James Bond." Roger Moore's face crinkled up with realisation and he beckoned me over. When I was by his knee, he leant over, looked from side to side, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said to me, "I have to sign my name as 'Roger Moore' because otherwise...Blofeld might find out I was here." He asked me not to tell anyone that I'd just seen James Bond, and he thanked me for keeping his secret. I went back to our seats, my nerves absolutely jangling with delight. My grandad asked me if he'd signed 'James Bond.' No, I said. I'd got it wrong. I was working with James Bond now.
Many, many years later, I was working as a scriptwriter on a recording that involved UNICEF, and Roger Moore was doing a piece to camera as an ambassador. He was completely lovely and while the cameramen were setting up, I told him in passing the story of when I met him in Nice Airport. He was happy to hear it, and he had a chuckle and said "Well, I don't remember but I'm glad you got to meet James Bond." So that was lovely.
And then he did something so brilliant. After the filming, he walked past me in the corridor, heading out to his car - but as he got level, he paused, looked both ways, raised an eyebrow and in a hushed voice said, "Of course I remember our meeting in Nice. But I didn't say anything in there, because those cameramen - any one of them could be working for Blofeld."
I was as delighted at 30 as I had been at 7. What a man. What a tremendous man."
If it's any consolation, I've never heard of Curtis Jones.
Ditto! Football is shite anyway!
My sister used to work in a conference center. She said everyone hated it when the BBC came along. Pompus, entitled , terrible snobs.

There's no reason for anyone using a UK phone to use American spellings.
@@OllyBockus okey. Mi speling aynt tha Gud.
Wow considering their wages are tantamount to a huge benefit cheque..
You would think they'd be a tad more humble 😂😂😂
@jasonvoorhees5640 the BBC is publicly funded, everyone who watches TV in the UK pays a licence fee of £170 approx a year, for that you get no adverts on the BBC ....
So it's a big long party at the BBC on public taxpayer money..
I worked for many rich and famous in London. Nearly all of them, were complete and utter wankers. The nicest one ,out of the lot was, Charlie Watts.....smashing bloke.
Loved Charlie ever since, as a classic car freak, I found out he had a collection he just loved to dress in a suit that matched the car and simply sit in it and gently rev the engine without ever taking them out anywhere - top eccentric, superb drummer and perfect gentleman 🫡
@lascm5237 a horseman and a gentleman
I love the line in the John Hiatt song "Slow Turning"..."banging like Charlie Watts"
RIP
Great channel here.

I was a bit scared of the Rolling Stones, lived near a couple of them, saw them in the distance a couple of times. I realise that Charlie Watts was such a solid bloke, family man, jazz fan until later in life and became a fan. Glad to hear your comment.
@@lascm5237 He never learned to drive. Saw a documentary and he said he loved the look of the classic cars and despite being a non driver he collected them.
@@catmanbill9352 Yes he came from humble working class origins. He made his money from being in a rock group but he much preferred jazz. I love the story where he punched Jagger to the floor after Mick was being big headed towards him.
I worked as a doorman for 36 years and bodyguard now and then. Met loads of celebrities with Anthony Hopkins being the nicest. Talked with him for a hour with my son who was working with me and he told us his life story and all about his parents being bakers. Rhys Ifans was another great bloke , really funny and wrote a lovely letter to my youngest son who was a spiderman fan being 5 at the time. Richard Branson was lovely and Laurence Dalalio(sp) was a gentleman. The worst I've met was definitely Jeremy Guscot who was rude to everyone and thought he was a superstar.
That's great having a letter for your son what a guy! Thanks Chris, please sub and have a good weekend!
We know Lawrence well, lovely family. Guscott is arrogant.
I used to live a few hundred metres away from Bill Tarmy who played JACK DUCKWORTH in Coronation Street . Really nice guy , he used to sing every week in our local pub .Every Friday night he used to queue up for his Fish n Chips .
Aw - loved Jack. He did seem very down to earth.
That's a great one darren, please sub mate!
Curtis jones......never heard of her
Wasn't she that tall black bird in a James Bond film?
😂😂😂😂
Plays like a girl too
I work in film and TV, and I find 99% of actors are lovely people, I tend not to talk to them unless they talk to me, the ones who iv found most vile or nasty are the fading B list stars or B list action x stunts actors, egos like children, two of the nicest actors iv ever met are Tom Hiddleston and Pierce Brosnan, both lovely human beings who even though busy took time out to greet and acknowledge the crew.
Pierce Brosnan seems a really nice guy
@jasonvoorhees5640 why do you think that?
@jasonvoorhees5640 how would you like me to write it?
@jasonvoorhees5640 how... 'it'.. happened? how what happened?
@jasonvoorhees5640 really? why would i do that?
I once met Richard 'I don't believe it!' Wilson from One Foot In The Grave at the Very Dark Caves in Ireland. My mate told me to go up to him and say his catchphrase to him as he was convinced nobody had ever done that before. So I did. It didn’t end well. Fecking nasty old so and so.
@@thecrackfox5963 Socialist , I've heard he was prickly.
Ahh that's a great one!
I used to work in an estate agency behind the building society counter. We would get celebrity footballers coming in. All the footballers were lovely but OMG their wives were another thing altogether.
I got on a train in London many years ago and there were no seats. I was in the navy at the time on my way to Portsmouth. The train guard saw I was carrying loads of bags and said he would see if there were any seats in the first class compartments. He said yes come this way you can sit in here. A bloke with a beard and hat was sat in the first class compartment reading a newspaper. After about ten minutes he started chatting to me and he was really friendly. Then I realised in was Bob Hoskins. Had a good chat with him before he got off the train. Nice bloke.
Did he have a sexy rabbit with him
Thanks Ste
Curtis Jones has gone down in my estimation being a Liverpool fan I'm disgusted with his behaviour.
Thanks for the comment steve, please give a subscribe mate.
I don’t think he’ll play much under Slot. I bet this time next year he’ll be at Crystal Palace.
@@adam461smith He's not good enough. Lives off being a Scouser in the squad.
Years ago as a Revenue Inspector.on the railway, I often encountered famous faces. 3 that always struck me as very polite were Wayne Sleep, Anne Widdecombe, and John Altman. My meetings were brief, but of all the celebrities of the day I encountered, these 3 seemed humble enough. Didn’t meet her but understood from two completely separate people that Cilla Black was downright rude with that 'don't you know who I am ? attitude.
Mate of mine works BA first class. Said Posh Spice was always very polite and respectful which surprised me since she always looks like she's just eaten a wasp. His worst experience was Simon Le Bon. Utterly obnoxious he reckoned.
There's an interview on here with Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode). Le Bon spoke down to him.
Le Bon: 'Ah, don't tell me, don't tell me .... ah, Depeche Mode! I like your stuff, keep it up!'
Victoria Beckham is a nice, genuine lady and has a cracking smile
I used to be a police officer - at one time "Beckingham Palace" was on my patch. We used to regularly get calls concerning trespassers trying to get on their property. Met both Victoria and David and they were both the most friendly and down to earth people you could meet. A real class act. We used to give Brooklyn (who was a small kid at the time) rides up and down the long drive in our car with the sirens and lights on. He loved it!
The Beckhams do scone across as being pretty normal and just nice people whenever I’ve seen them on TV. It’s nice to know that they are no different when there are no cameras around.
@mattsta1964 VB once said in an interview that it doesn't cost anything to be polite, and she was raising her son to be well-mannered (It was just Brooklyn at the time), so I'm not surprised. She always looks serious because she hates smiling.
Nice to hear that many celebs are genuinely nice people. I've had a few in my cab, John Inman and his husband, Inman was a miserable git, Heston Blumenthal was pissed but great fun, Noel Gallagher never said a word nor did Geri Halliwell, David Tennant was polite and it was the first time I heard his genuine Scottish accent. Brian Ferry got in off the street and hid behind his coat FFS! Best was the late great Victor Spinetti. We chatted through the whole journey and he was so funny and so nice. Most barely give you the time of day but as long as they are polite and pay the fare I don't care.
People on here are saying that about Noel and saying Liam is great. Thank you, please hit the sub button.
I was on the "up" escalator in a Liverpool shopping centre and faced Molly Sugden who was travelling on the "down" escalator. As we passed she gave me the most radiant smile. I have a couple more celebrity encounters of the same type but I don't want to brag.
Haha - saw what you did there ;)
@@mogadon7 Show off! 😂😂
I spoke to Albert Tatlock , off early Corries .Well , I had to , I was his stuntman.
I met Anthony Hopkins in the very early 90s .He was drying out ar tge time ,I was in Harley Street with my then GF who had some health issues and needed to see a specialist consultant.
Hopkins was a really lovely guy and extremely articulate. I was a young soldier back then in Northern Ireland during the troubles ,he was genuinely interested.
Hopkins ought not to have been 'drying out' in the 90s. He says he is 48 years sober.
