20 Celebrity Encounters That Reveal a Lot
Celebrity encounters are a mixed bag. In some cases, the star in question turns out to be WAY cooler than you ever imagined. Sometimes people even get famous for a less-than-positive persona they embody but are actual sweethearts in real life. Other times, you'll find someone who is an absolute tool even though they've no reason to be.

“It is probably not at all surprising but I met Alison Brie about 10 years ago and she was super lovely. It was in NYC at a Fashions Night Out event. I’m a big Community fan and mentioned so to her. She was very nice, took a photo with me and complimented my necklace.”
2.
“Jared Leto came to the climbing gym I worked at once he was just kinda a douche to the staff”
3.
“A lot of redditors mention Gordon Ramsay being lovely. My godsister can confirm. She worked at a hotel restaurant in Cornwall where Ramsay vacations at regularly. She was so nervous she spilt something but he just gave her a really fatherly warm smile and went “no it’s okay my darling” and continued on with his conversation.”

“Robert Downey Jr., we were on the same flight.. Super personable, witty. I didn’t realize it was him at first.”
5.
“Paris Hilton – I didn’t meet her in person. But I worked for an airline answering phones as a supervisor. She called in to change her itinerary on New year’s Day years ago when she was very much in the public eye. It would have been about 3:00 a.m. where she was, and I could hear the party going on in the background. She was my very first call of the morning where I was on the east coast. 7:00 a.m. I was hungover as f**k, and in no mood to be at work. She was absolutely the nicest person to deal with. She was really sweet and patient, she made small talk while I changed her reservation and seemed genuinely kind. I was pleasantly surprised.”

“R.L. Stine ( Goosebumps author) is an asshole. Took my son on a school trip to the Scholastic Store for a book reading. R.L. Stine proceeded to make fun of a stuttering 9-year-old in front of everyone and just rude to everyone”

“I served Piers Morgan as a waiter and he was unbelievably polite, which maybe some people would find surprising.”
10.
“Pink the singer (in 2004) was incredibly friendly in a natural down to earth way, considering she was on the height of her fame at the time. She was also shorter than me (13 years old then) and smelled VERY fruity and waited patiently for my mom to figure out how to take a picture of us with her phone. Cool person.”
11.
“Weird Al is insanely fucking nice. Like, you ask him for a photo and he’ll make a 10 second video for your dad nice.”
12.
“Not me but my dads story. My dad interviewed Mr. Rogers and Mr. Rogers was very nice, but the highlight of the interview was Mr. Rogers saying he was proud of my dad. Great guy.”
13.
“It’s pretty well established that he’s nice, but Hugh Jackman is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever encountered.”
14.
“I don’t think anyone one would be surprised that Jeff Goldblum is nice, but I can attest to it. I was an extra in a movie with him. When he arrived on the scene, some nasty film crew woman was screaming at us not to bother him or ask for his autograph (which none of us had done). He must have heard her, because he turned right around and came over to talk to us.”
15.
“Will Smith. Worked a private event for him a couple years back. He made sure to thank each and every employee when he arrived and before he left. He had the best manners and was in such a jovial mood, joking around with the staff. Great guy.”
16.
“Back when they were filming Lord of the Rings all the hobbits: Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins), Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee), Billy Boyd (Peregrin Took), and Dominic Monaghan (Meriadoc Brandybuck), came into my mom’s video store and wanted to rent all of Peter Jacksons movies. They were so excited to have a movie marathon I thought it was super cute.”
17.
“My dad met Lady Gaga at a restaurant in NYC and said she was one of the most genuinely sweet human beings he has ever met in his entire life. He called her “enchanting” and actually became a fan of hers after that!”
18.
“I got to meet the St. Bernard dog that played Beethoven in the movies with Charles Gordon. His name was Duke. He was a good boi.”
19.
“When I was a kid, my family took a trip to London and we were shopping in Harrod’s. Being the kid I was, I was running around while my parents shopped. I ran up to this man, looked up and said “you look REAAAAAAAALLY familiar. Have we met?” And he flashes a smile and says “no, but I get that a lot” and then he walks off. My dad came right over and went “…you do realize that was Mr. Bean you just spoke to right?”

“Tom Felton (Draco Malfoy in Harry Potter) was very sweet, met him at Comic Con one year, he told me I had a beautiful smile :)”
