"Kristen Bell - one of the most sweetest, down to earth people you’ll ever meet.
I worked at a high end hotel spa and she came in on one of our most busiest weekends and was so patient. Most celebrities I encountered booked with aliases and through an assistant, she just called in on her own and booked as any other person would (this seems like the bare minimum, but I’ve had some super needy celebrity guests). She is also an EXTREMELY generous tipper. She is the exact person that she appears in tv interviews."
"David Tennant
He is absolutely lovely. I've met him multiple times, due to my workplace. He once asked me to look after his coat and tipped me £50 for doing so, purely because Olivia Colman was with him at the time and, in her usual ditsy way (she is another gem of a human being!) accidentally dropped her coat on top of me! On another occasion, I had a long chat with him about Doctor Who, since I'm a massive fan of the show and have been for as long as I can remember. He is a brilliant example of how meeting a celeb you love doesn't have to be a disappointment."
"I worked at a bar in Hollywood and served lots of random celebrities. The best experience was Gwendoline Christie (Brienne of Tarth from GoT). She ordered a Guinness and handed me a $20. I went to get her change and she told me to keep it. She said she had worked in the service industry for years and new how hard the job can be. She paid for each of her drinks the same way all night. She was incredibly kind and generous. Rare in Hollywood. "
"in 2017 I sat next to John Cusack on a 90 minute flight (just the two of us. I'd luckily been upgraded to business class). He was clearly trying to be incognito so I said nothing and gave him his space. Eventually he started engaging me and I got to gush about how big a fan I was, and even compliment him on his choreography in a scene in War Inc. He seemed genuinely thrilled with the compliment and started enthusiastically telling me about the training he does etc. Graciously agreed to a photo once we landed and as he was leaving he turned around to tell me to wish my mother a happy mother's day (it was mother's Day weekend). 10/10 awesome guy."
"My dad was a waiter at a restaurant Leonard Nimoy (the original Spock) frequented back in the 80’s. He always tipped generously and even invited my dad to eat with him once. Overall a great guy. Heartbreaking to hear he died a few years ago"
Seeing these people at their homes in Hawaii is a treat, they are truly down to earth.
Pat Boone and his daughter are amazing as well. They have a mac nut farm in an obscure location in Kona, but their seclusion and privacy are valued above all else.
yeah just like Zuckerberg who bought property and built a natural 10ft wall for privacy and block views in Hawaii. Or Ellison who brought an entire Hawaiian island.
WHY???????
I’ve never read anything positive about her on the internet. That’s probably why Cedric thinks it’s fake.
Many actors who have worked with her do not like her at all.
There are many videos on youtube about her behavior.
Eh. Fair enough.
The best celebs I ever met were Courtney and Bobby. They were so friendly and happy together. They used to come into the bar I liked to go to in Georgia, and they would laugh a lot and talk to anyone who said hi. Shame what happened.
Side note- I didn't "meet" him, but I saw Usher in a restaurant once. Weird guy, but friendly enough. He was wearing pjs and slippers, and acting goofy. He kept giggling and ducking under the table, and eventually ran out the door before even ordering. I guess he'd just smoked a blunt or three.
"He apologized, I told him I wasn't going to report him or anything. "
report? for what..?! for a mistake and apology?
I think #5 belongs in the Karen story.
