Despite their reputations as stuck-up rich people who throw tantrums over red M&M’s, lie about limes (looking at you Dakota Johnson) and allegedly barred anyone from making eye contact with them(cough, Ellen DeGeneres, cough) not all celebrities are hellish divas.
From running into the late, great Robin Williams on the streets of San Francisco to Danny Trejo proving his tough guy roles are all just for show, here are 20 of the kindest celebrities have ever encountered in person.

1. Danny Trejo
“ I came here to mention Danny Trejo as well. That guy is a legend, always willing to chat with fans and do nice things for people . Also Sid Haig was a great dude, he would come to conventions and let people take his photo for free, he just liked meeting his fans. He also used to stay behind after all the other celebrities had left and help the vendors break down their booths.” — 1ofZuulsMinions -
2. Robin Williams
“I used to run into Robin Williams occasionally in San Francisco and he was always nice to people who went up to talk to him. Once I was at Tower Records and two women went up to him and told him they were fans. He thanked them. They said he ‘sounded different than in the movies’ and he told them he had two sets of vocal cords, one for movies and one for real life and they seemed to believe it. It was pretty funny. He'd also show up sometimes at a comedy club in Cole Valley and do improv with a bunch of very intimidated and scared amateurs but he didn't try to overshadow them.” —sf-o-matic -
3. Paul Rudd
“Paul Rudd - ended being one of the last people in the line at C2E2. They were literally turning lights off in the convention center. He stood up and said not to worry that he was gonna meet all of us. When we got up to him he was great, shook both my wife’s hand and then mine, he got very excited that he was autographing a CrapBag friends mug and told me it was the best thing he signed all day. Wrote out a line from the episode and signed it. Then we asked if he would do us a favor, and he said anything. We asked him to do the air piano from the one of the episodes for our other family members who had been waiting on us in the half dark. He cracked a huge smile, stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and air piano-ed perfectly! We thanked him and he shook our hands again and thanked us for waiting. It was just awesome and he really was just amazingly nice.” — HollywoodHalo560 -
4. Bryan Cranston
“Bryan Cranston. I was the last person in line at a meet and greet event. He engaged with everyone with a genuine smile. Took a moment to chat with everyone. I said, ‘It's great to meet you Dr. Watley’ and he had a good chuckle. We took a photo together and he grabbed me firmly by the shoulder. Good dude.” — loose_lucid_elusive4 -
5. Robert Downey Jr.
“Robert Downey Jr. I had the privilege of taking care of a family member of his at a hospital back when I was a nurse. He was so down to earth. Always joking. Hung out at the nurses station with us a few times and was always engaging. Ordered the entire floor In N Out for dinner one night. Never expected preferential treatment. And was there daily genuinely concerned for his family member, participating in his care dcisions , etc. just a cool dude. No assistant or better than thou attitude.” — Otherwise_Ad2804 -
6. Jeff Goldblum
“I had the pleasure to meet Jeff Goldblum 3 times in my life. Sweet and fun dude.” – WatercressSecure4586 -
7. Magic Johnson
“Ran into Magic Johnson at the airport, everyone he interacted with he treated extremely politely and took a picture with everyone whom wanted to take one” — TalkingToTalk -
8. Lucy Liu
“I got to meet Lucy Liu once and she was really sweet and kind.” — HeartlessValiumWhore -
9. Olivia Newton-John
“Olivia Newton-John. She was my wife's hero/icon and we happened to be near her when she was doing a photo shoot about 14 years ago. I asked 'her people' about saying hello and they said to me 'unlikely... Olivia is working' and I accepted that and so we kind of hung around watching and trying to look cool. 15 minutes later when my wife was distracted Olivia walked over and introduced herself and we had a lovely chat.... well my wife couldn't speak so I did more of the talking. Olivia offered to pose for pictures and did not leave until she ensured we were happy with the pics. My wife met her hero that day and came away more enamoured with her. Lovely lady, RIP.” –ringo5150 -
10. Henry Winkler
“I worked/met a few musicians and celebrities through my work. Without a doubt, Henry Winkler stands out as not only the most friendly celebrity I've crossed paths with but also the kindest individual overall. Don't get me wrong, there were other celebs who were nice as well, but Henry Winkler surpasses them all on a whole different level.” —WildRabbitz -
11. Keanu Reeves
“Keanu Reeves. Man has been through such hardship - father walked out on him when he was a child, lost his child, lost his gf to a car crash, lost his best friend to an overdose- yet still manages to be a beacon of positivity.” — -APEWATCH- -
12. Aaron Paul
“Aaron Paul is a super genuine nice dude in my experience.” —v3ganism -
13. Christian Bale
“Christian Bale; Dad’s mate was at a film premiere (wasn’t Bale’s film but he was there) and he was stood talking to a group of people. My Dad’s mate is from Newcastle so speaks in a Geordie accent. Suddenly hears (in a joking cockney voice) ‘Who the *** let a ******* Geordie in here?.’ Turns around and boom, Christian Bale. Apparently he stood and talked to the group for a good 20 minutes, showing a genuine interest in them all and what they did” — samuraiheart2398 -
14. Hugh Jackman
Can support this. My brothers ex’s dad is good childhood mates with him- would regularly be at her house to join them for dinner parties and is such a nice, normal guy —craftaleislife -
15. Kevin Costner
“Years ago in the mid 90's my uncle bumped into him on a run (Costner was also running) and they got to talking. Apparently super nice and down to earth however my uncle wanted to continue on, and Costner wouldn't stop chatting lol.” — TheHeyHeyMan -
16. Rachel McAdams
“Rachel McAdams is by far the nicest celebrity I’ve met. We were sat next to each other in the audience at the taping of a reality competition show (she was a celebrity audience guest, I was just the next person over lol) and I was a MASSIVE fan at the time. This was 14 or so years ago but peak Notebook and Mean Girls fame. I told her what a fan I was and then as a 16 year old boy kind of blacked out lol. Later as we were leaving the building she ran up to say hi and remembered my name and walked back to my family’s car with us, took a photo with me, and then hugged and said goodbye. She was just SO genuinely nice.” — BuzRaho -
17. "Weird Al" Yankovic
“I am a massive fan of Al, (I even have his signature tattooed on my leg) and a big reason for that is how nice he is. And not only that, everyone he surrounds himself with is nice. I've met him over 30 times, but one of my favorite ones was in 2019. A little backstory: in 2018 my family and I went to LA and got to see him receive his star on the Walk of Fame. We also did all the touristy things like Disneyland and studio tours. A few weeks later my 13 year old daughter was heading into class and her teacher, who was known to ask random questions at the start of class, pointed at her and said, ‘Best vacation you ever took?’ She said we had just gone to LA and the teacher asked what she had done. She then told him that we got to see Al get his star and then go to a private party thrown by him for donors. No mention of Disney or anything else. I told Al this story and he actually got a little misty eyed and said, ‘You don't know how much that means to me.’" -
18. Gordon Ramsay
“Can confirm. Have a good friend who worked in one of his kitchens. Actual kitchens in a restaurant..not a reality show..he is a good dude and treats his staff like business owners should.” — dtcstylez10 -
19. Julie Andrews
“Julie Andrews. I spent an hour with her. She IS practically perfect in every freaking way.” — llc4269 -
20. Ian McKellan
“I can vouch for Ian McKellan - he was an absolute angel to a very excited stage teen at the stage door of a broadway play he did with Patrick Stewart some years back. The kid told asked him if he’d received the letter he’d sent Ian at the interval and the good man said “yes”, patiently listened to the kid and was generous with his time and kindness. Kid and stage mum (and all of us who witnessed this) were big fans. Patrick Stewart and Billy Crudup were there too and they just did the blank faced signings and buggered off.”
