Surprisingly And Not, Here Are 25 Of The Nicest Celebrities People Have Ever Met
Article created by: Rūta Zumbrickaitė
Whether you like the phenomenon of celebrities or not, it doesn't change the fact that they're an inseparable part of pop culture. The thing is that sometimes idolization of them can go a little too far and put a celeb on such a high pedestal, it's hard to imagine them as a real, breathing human and not some kind of divine being.
It doesn't change the fact that they're still people who go about their days interacting with others. So, today, we gathered a list of various celebs doing just that – communicating with others. Only these interactions were so memorable for those who got to be a part of them, they didn't shy away from sharing them online. So, let's jump in and see how nice some celebs can be, shall we?

Monica Lewinsky. I was an assistant at a very small company she occasionally had some meetings at. She always took time to say hi and catch up with me. She was also the only one who remembered my birthday (boss forgot) and she stopped by that day with a gift for me. She was such a wonderful human being and I have immense respect for how she's lived her life since the scandal.

Tony Hawk! And I met him because he generously donated a bunch of money to build a sick skate park in my small town and brought a whole team of professional skaters to break it in as a spectacle for the whole community. So cool!
#3
Mr. Rogers. I met him once when I was about 4 at a meet and greet, and then again when he handed me my college diploma. Both times he made me feel like I was the only person in the room.
#4
Robin Williams! A literal delight and the personification of humility and appreciation for his fans.
#6
Post Malone. Everyone on his team during pre-production said he’s just the greatest person ever. I thought, “How great can he be?”
Post Malone is one of the nicest and truly genuine people I’ve ever met. Dude brought his parents on set and was just so excited to share what we were doing with them. He deserves all the success in the world.

Leslie Nielsen
Great guy. He use to shop at Costco and always joked with everyone. Always had a smile on his face.
#8
Giancarlo Esposito was a blast to meet. He spoke at my college years ago and he told us about his life and working on Breaking Bad. He even spoke briefly about his time on Community as well.
#9
Jeff Goldblum. The man oozes charisma and quirky suaveness. And he’s just so nice. He listens when you speak, he smells amazing, and he’s much taller than you’d expect.
#10
David Bowie. He was so lovely, he said my name correctly (it’s pronounced in a different way than most others with it say it), and he thanked me for my help.
#11
Cyndi Lauper, I worked for over a decade hosting some the world's most famous people from politicians to celebrities, Honestly I met lots of really nice people over the years but Cyndi Lauper stood out as someone who really had a beautiful soul.
#12
Elijah Wood is incredibly nice and normal and will just chat it up with anybody like a regular Joe. Maybe the most normal former child star?
#13
Sean Astin. He came and hang out with the techs for like 20 min before he did a talk about his childhood and bi-polar disorder.
#14
Brian Cranston and his wife. We happened to be sitting next to him and his wife at dinner and ending talking the whole time. They spent so much time talking to my daughter who was visiting Barnard College about colleges, all the schools their daughter considered, like really normal sweet people.
#15
Sissy Spacek lives in the same city I do, and is always so, so kind. I had her as a customer at my store five or six times, and recently my wife and I were behind her in line somewhere where she was returning an item, and was extremely patient with the young cashier who was struggling (and had no idea who she was). She turned to me and apologized for making me wait, with a smile.
#16
Ethan Hawke. I met him back in the 90’s outside of a small theater in NYC. He was asking me more questions about me than I could ask about him, he seemed like an old friend.
#18
I sat next to Robert Duvall on a commuter flight from D.C. to NYC many moons ago. He was really personable, and we enjoyed exclaiming over the sight of Manhattan as we flew over it. I wasn’t 100% it was him, so I memorized a mole on the right side of his nose. Sure enough….

Antony Starr aka Homelander - I think due to his character, I was expecting some kind of super star ego however when I go to cons to meet someone I always bring a small box of chocolates and a thank you card, its just my way of saying to them thank you for taking time your of your busy schedule to come a greet the fans such as myself.
When I gave it to him, he paused and looked up to me, and yes, in that moment, I was scared haha thought I was about to get into trouble as he might be in on a strict diet but he had gave me a massive smile befor saying "you trying to stop homelander getting into the suit" I laughed nervously and said "I would be saving the world if I did" and he laughed again, he asked me why I brought gifts and I explained I said to him if he didn't want to eat them I understand and to pass it to comic con staff. He was honestly touched and asked me if I wanted a hug.... I nearly fainted! A hug from a star who plays the deadliest villan in a tv show... Yes! Honestly he is boss to meet!

That’s easy…Conan O’Brien. He is a true gentleman. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting him a few times, and he was always genuinely kind, respectful, and gracious. You can also see it in the way he interacts with those who work with him—he’s an incredibly nice guy through and through.

Robert Smith (Cure) was absolutely a really kind and genuine person during a pre show meeting.
#23
Kevin Smith was an absolute delight when I met him on the streets of Hollywood after one of his podcast tapings.
#24
Not long ago I met Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) at a fan con. He was really friendly and we had a good conversation. He seemed like he was genuinely happy to be there.

Chris Cornell, and Anthony Bourdain. Boy did that realization just depress me.
