Celebrities with affable personalities

Snoop is a probable murderer. But he’s so likeable.

He is not a murderer ...

Faye Dunaway. Sweetie.

Dolly.

Lynda Carter

Helen Lawson

Adam Sandler

Julianne Moore, seriously.

Susan Dey

Sharon Stone.

Not Frances McDormand

Tom Wopat

Jay O. Sanders

—We all share the same locker row at the gym…they are very down to earth.

The late Phyllis George was very kind to me on more than one occasion.

Alex Trebek was dickish.

Dick Clark came across as very friendly.

Regis Philbin came across as very fake.

I only know theatre celebrities, and they are universally affable. It's rare to find one who throws tude around.

On the Particularly Nice list I'd include the late Rebecca Luker, Liz Callaway, Nathan Lane, Bryan Batt, Donna Murphy, Maria Friedman, John Rubinstein, Brian Stokes Mitchell, Elaine Paige, and Judy Kaye.

Personally, I've had great times with Shirley MacLaine and Mandy Patinkin, though I know others have had a different experience.

[quote]Regis Philbin came across as very fake.

Let it go Kelly.

Beyoncé reminds me of MJ in that you don’t hear anyone in the industry bash her. In fact she is almost universally loved. MJ is the only celeb I can think of that had that affect except he was more loved by the general public as well. Until you know what.

R13 yeah I co-sign Dick Clark.

Dick Clark would have skinned his own mother if someone insisted a contract had to be written on her parchment.

Brian Stokes Mitchell is a truly lovely guy.

I was shooting my very first episodic tv job opposite "Stokes", and he couldn't have been nicer or more supportive.

Sigourney Weaver has been exceptionally nice and friendly over the number of times we've interacted.

Sigourney puts her bare feet up on the bulkhead, by the Biz Class lav. I’ve seen it twice. No thank you.

MAGA Adam Sandler already ruined the good spirit of the thread

Affable doesn't equal classy, R20.

I've noticed almost all white women think it's ok to take their shoes off indoors in public places and put their feet all over the furniture. I've seen it a thousand times at Starbuck's and cafes. It is so gross.

Rude does not equal affable.

Niecy Nash

r20 " I’ve seen it twice."

100% you have not.

Snoop would sell reverse mortgages to dementia patients if he was paid enough. He's a soulless pitchman, just like the rock.

R26 shouldn’t that be 200% sure that he’s not sure?

Madonna - charming, delightful and so down to earth.

I think Michael Douglas could be interesting.

Vance

Carlos Alazraqui

David Hyde Pierce. Never heard a bad word about him.

Mark Hamill had an affable personality on Twitter. I left the platform shortly after Elmo’s takeover.

Kathryn Hahn is the very definition of "affable."

Michelle Obama

Mavis Staples

Ryan Gosling

Mavis Beacon

I've never heard a bad word about Terri Schiavo.

Or from her, for that matter.

[quote] Beyoncé reminds me of MJ in that you don’t hear anyone in the industry bash her. In fact she is almost universally loved.

Beyoncé seems very dumb, especially when she starts talking. Yet she's smart enough to stay off of social media. She's not a recluse, but for a major celebrity, she seems pretty private.

"Universally loved" is a strong description. I have slightly positive feelings about Beyoncé. I'm sure there are people who are indifferent.

I know I'll get roasted but I like Elon Musk. His personality is so goofy.

How many fucking threads so we need about this topic?

Molly Shannon

6, just to be polite and friendly.

Adam Sandler is MAGA? That's no loss for me, but I hadn't suspected. I mostly try to forget he exists.

Some of these people were mentioned in the Reddit rudest celebrities thread.

Catherine Keener and Spike Jonze came together to a shmoozy industry party I threw once. They were both lovely, chatty and friendly. Keener in particular seemed humble and down to earth. We talked for a long time. I'd never heard of restless leg syndrome before I met her, and it really came in handy a few years later when I had a spell of restless leg myself. I was able put a label to it to tell my doctor.

R41 I mean amongst the industry and her peers. Even Madge had other females/ppl in the industry talk shit about her; most divas do. Beyoncé is universally loved, other celebs talk about how sweet, and enchanting she is. Wasn’t Barba Streisand regarded in the same esteem?

I’m going to mention Nathan Lane because there’s no other way he’d show up in a thread about affability.

R50, see R14.

Allison Janney

R14 here. I only mentioned people that I know personally. I get the sense that some here are posting based on social media or "news" stories -or just impressions. Not quite the same thing. I've known Nathan Lane since 2004. With me, he's never been anything other than friendly and professional. Always witty and charming.

Tom Hanks

Ted Danson has a very good reputation for being kind.

Aw, I’m rewatching The Good Wife and I loved Nathan Lane’s character.

Lane must not have been a mean drunk, then.

Mariska Hargitay was very sweet when I met her. Harry Styles as well.

Let me add to the Brian Stokes Mitchell love. He truly is one of the nicest (and classiest) guys you could ever meet. I absolutely adore him.

Donna Murphy and Kelli O’Hara are also sweet as can be.

[quote]Michelle Obama

I dunno r36. “Affable” is not the first word that comes to mind when considering Michelle Obama's positive qualities. A strong personality, sure. Affable, not so sure. Affable has kind of a mild and gentle sense to it, not something she's generally known for.

Dan Abrams

Carmen Sandiego

Alfonso Ribeiro

V_nn_ Wh_te

Danny DeVito

Angie Martinez

Mick is a diva. Keith is the one I’d want to have a beer with.

R42 is trolling.

Nathan Lane? OH MY SIDES!

And I say that as someone who thinks he's fantastically talented. But affable? Nope. Nyet. Nunca.

OTOH, Brian Stokes Mitchell is as lovely as can be. Some late theatre greats who truly were affable: Rebecca Luker, Gavin Creel, Marin Mazzie, Chita Rivera.

In TV land, Regis Philbin was absolutely affable. Would run into him at the gym. Joy Behar is great, as are Mariska Hargitay and David Hyde Pierce.

From film: Bill Nighy was fantastic. Julianne Moore too. I've even had charming encounters with Frances McDormand, but I don't think everyone gets to see that side of her.

I once met Fat Joe at the McDonalds next to SOBs in lower Manhattan. He and his crew came in while I was still in line. Very down to earth, up on current events, and just overall funny.

Mick Jagger has led a charmed as pie life.

Mark Hamill

Andy Roddick

Trust me. Snoop Dogg is a whole lot more than affable.

Linda Lavin

R73 Andy’s podcast is a welcome surprise. I’d always thought of him as kind of a douche.

Snoop is fugly. Nobody wants to fuck him.

Cher.

Liza.

Jennifer Aniston.

Kate Winslet

Mindy Cohn is overall jolly, but she can be a bitch at times.

Cher does not seem affable, to me. Is she unreasonably rude? No.

[quote] Mick is a diva. Keith is the one I’d want to have a beer with.

Why do people always picture themselves having a beer with celebrities?

That's why dumb ass George W. Bush (the second Bush) got elected. Too many dumb Americans could picture themselves having a beer with him.

R77 Snoop is old now but he wasn’t ugly in youth. Not exactly handsome but reasonably attractive with swag. A lot of women like that look. Tall, bony, laid back. And he’s probably hung like a fkin horse.

R14 = Bryan Batt

[quote] And he’s probably hung like a fkin horse.

He is.

R80 Best not to get on her bad side.

Because I like beer and I’m a Keith fan, R82. It’s not that fucking complicated.

R87 😂. RIGHT. The thread is called “celebrities with affable personalities” That person who tried to come for you is an idiot.

Sorry, R84, but I'm not Bryan Batt. I fucked him though.

Conan O'Brien, truly one of the good guys in the business.

Pedro Pascal comes across as very sweet.

Jeffrey Wright

Drew Carey.

Jeffrey Wright is not known to be very nice at all.

His reputation is exactly the opposite.

Tony Hawk

I'll third (or is it 4th by now) Mark Hamill. I also follow him on Twitter and he seems to be a good guy.

Harrison Ford seems like a decent guy too, through possibly a bit moody.

I would have said Jimmy Buffett if he was still with us.

Daniel Radcliffe seems like a good guy. Haven't heard much bad ever said about him.

Some of the posters here have poor judgment

Jonathan Groff

Alec Baldwin

Ellen DeGeneres!

Wiwyum Huuurt.

Oh. I thought yew said "asshole personalities."

Shohei Ohtani is a lovely gentleman.

This thread is longer than I thought it would be!

Rita Moreno

Fortune Feimster (actress/standup)

[quote]He is not a murderer ...

He murdered my pussy.

It was a good thing.

R101 how can I sign to you he’s dead?

R96, I was going to say Radcliffe. In interviews, at least, he is very charming and unassuming.

Steve Buscemi

I don’t know much about Nathan Lane. He may be the kindest man in the world. He might be an asshole. I don’t know.

But, his ex sister-in-law (his brother’s ex-wife) was a mentor to my son. She told many stories about Lane’s love for and generosity to her daughter.

When the mentor died Nathan Lane was at the wake caring for his niece every step of the way.

In my eyes Nathan Lane is a good man.

I used to wait on the late Heavy D and he was a very nice charming guy, and everyone liked waiting on him and his girlfriend. So sad he died so young.

Admittedly D-List - But Michael Rosenbaum from Smallville. Welling is a prick though. Sorry, everyone.

Mick Jagger? What’s so funny about him?

Michael Rosenbaum is as phony as Jimmy Fallon.

Tracey Ullman, who genuinely likes people.

Frederick III, German emperor

R34 Mark Hamill is on Bluesky now

Shohei Ohtani is so HOT.

Watching The Carol Burnett Show the past couple of weeks has been a great way to decompress from the shitstorm that was the US election.

I’ve been struck by her kindness to her audience during the Q/A portion of the show and her generosity to her co-stars, never stepping on their lines and not only allowing them the spotlight, but seeming to revel in their successes.

I hope Carol is truly the lovely woman she appears to be.

Steve Carell

Henry Winkler

The Tilly sisters. Meg and Jennifer both have fun accounts and it's sweet when they visit each other and post pics.

Lol R120 I just read about 3 days ago that Carell is an asshole.

120 I grew up with him and he is not an asshole.

If you grew up with him, he was NOT a celebrity.
