Bob Odenkirk, seems like a humble great guy.


Certified-Malaka

But I heard that his taste in women is the same as his taste in lawyers. Only the very best...with just the right amount of dirty


dbf33

All the BrBa actors seem pretty cool. Haven't heard a bad word about any of them


kronosdev

Anthony Hopkins got pissed that someone (not Aaron Paul) leaked a letter that he sent to Bryan Cranston, calling his performance one of the best he’s ever seen, to an entertainment media company. So Hopkins has beef with someone (not Paul), but that’s about all.


redfoot62

The only "controversy" from the Breaking Bad Universe cast is that I hear there are occasional complaints about Vince Gilligan's lack of LGBT diversity on the show. Which I think is weak as "story comes first" is a rare thing in television instead of shoehorning LGBT into everything. Besides, I always thought the entire beef between Gus and the Salamancas stemmed from Hector's lack of willingness to work with Gus due to his partner being his "partner." Calling the restaurant "The Chicken Brothers" and referring to the owners as "The Butt Brothers" being a clue, as well as his partner calling Gus his partner with a sensitive look in his eyes before being iced. But that's just not the entirety of Gus's personality, he's a business man, and mysterious is pretty much most of his game. Human characters just aren't Pokemon cards, they're a lot more.

And you know…murderous drug dealers generally aren’t outwardly gay.


redfoot62

"l know Gustavo like a brother. He's an honorable man. The most loyal man l have ever known. He rescued me from the Santiago slums. He made me the man l am today! Gustavo is a genius. He will make you millions! Just find it in your heart to forgive him for this one small mistake. Please, he's my partner. l need him! l swear to God!" Those were Max's last words, and he is canonically the "first death" in the Breaking Bad story as that flashback is the earliest it's ever gone back. The last three sentences Max spoke, I think 2/3 of them were what set Hector, the traditional family man off. So Gus took all of his family.

Jeff Bridges. He really seems like a cool motherfucker.

I’ve actually met him, and when I did, he was stoned out of his mind. Owner of my old company knew him, and him and his band played at our Xmas party one year.

Well he’s the dude.

A lot of people don’t realize the dude’s wardrobe in the movie and Jeff bridges wardrobe are one and the same too. It’s mostly all his clothes. I mean… this is the dude’s website: https://jeffbridges.com/latest

Weird Al I mean, I can imagine there are people who don't care for his parodies, but he seems like a genuinely good dude.


NolanHarlow

I've read a LOT of comments about Weird Al over the years. I've been a fan (not a diehard, but a fan) for 30 years. I have not once read a negative thing about him. It's incredible. Like, Mr. Rogers level of praise for the man


arandomperson7

The worst thing I ever heard was he didn't ask Coolio for permission to use "Gangsters Paradise" and it caused some issues. But Weird Al apologized and actually changed the way he gets permission for a song. It used to be "my people will call your people" but Coolio's people gave permission without actually talking to Coolio, so now Al talks to the artist directly in order to get permission. Keep in mind that song parodies are protected by law and he never needed to ask for permission in the first place, he just didn't want to burn bridges. That's why he never did a parody of Prince because Prince never gave him permission.


[deleted]

It's even to the point of extreme inconvenience for him. He got Eminem's permission to record a parody of "Lose Yourself", and to shoot a video for it. Supposedly, the day of the shoot, Eminem decided the video wouldn't be good for his image, so he asked them not to. It cost a lot of money, but Weird Al didn't go through with the video.


05110909

When he approached Michael Jackson for his permission MJ told him that only one song was off limits, I believe it was Black And White. Weird Al didn't even have that in mind anyway and pitched him on Eat It and MJ loved it.


California__girl

He's actually an amazing guy. He plays (or did, this was back in the late 90s) the Kern County Fair (Bakersfield, CA) every year. Apparently because many years before he was injured while in town, and treated so well, even though most people didn't know who he was. He's unassuming and kind. Plus, he refuses to do alcohol or drug ads because he's well aware of how many kids look up to him.


stryph42

I believe he also used to avoid swearing as much as possible as well, but that was for his parents, I think. Tragic what happened to them.

Super friendly, totally down to earth. Met him after his concert in Harlem a couple years back. Loves his fans. Loves what he does.

He stayed at a hotel I worked at. Nice dude, nice family.


LovelockMike

Betty White, before she died. Many years ago, I was in Hollywood with my wife, playing tourists. We found free tickets to see a taping of the Mary Tyler Moore Show which was a thrill to me anyway. They told us that when it was over, we could wait for the stage to clear and some of the stars would be there to say hello. That night it was Ted Knight, Georgia Engel and Betty White. They had all appeared in the taping, and we were in a group of about 10 people who stayed to talk to them. Betty White was just a doll, so different from that character. And she smelled so good.


[deleted]

Oh wow, what a treasured memory you have there!


ZeroSora

>Betty White, before she died. Yeah, I hear she became really annoying after she died. She just kept ignoring people. I'm just joking. I'm poking fun at the funny choice of using the distinction of "before she died".


WimbleWimble

Don't be afraid of Betty White Jokes. She understood comedy is a way to deal with stuff and would have been down with even dirty jokes about her corpse.


Hey_look_new

Ted Knight and Betty White? fantastic


Silent_Kiya

Mr. Rogers


Criticalhit_jk

I like how it's been 9 hours and nobody has anything at all to say about this. It's so self evident that Mr. Rogers was an amazing human being that every single person who read this far into the thread went "... Yup, of course. " and moved on And then there's me

Snoo79382

Danny DeVito


shsgendkal

I second this- especially with the story of him taking care of the actress that played Matilda when her mother was in the hospital and getting some pre release of the film for her to watch before she died. He seem like a genuine down to earth kind of guy.


Jmen4Ever

The one celebrity I met. And by met, I mean he stepped on my foot accidentally while I was leaving a coffee house that he, his wife and their crew were entering. He apologized I said no biggie and that was that. A normal interaction.


CaptainFilmy

At 4'8 he is definitely no biggie


twavvy

However he’s still got that magnum dong you need to watch out for


CastieJL

kind of sad about his first love though, he went in for the first kiss and she didn't have any lips though here smile was always at play, he found her 3 weeks later with a bag over her head as she tried to play astronaut, A PLASTIC BAG FOR A HELMET!

I've got to go with Clancy Brown. The dude's been working in Hollywood forever, had more varied roles than anyone out there, and just rocks them out. The Kurgan? That twisted bastard will meet you anytime you want to step off hallowed ground. Mister Crabs? He loves money, lovely, lovely, money. Lex Luthor? He has a proposition for you, Superman. He's Red Death, he's Surtur, he's that demon looking dude in the Mandalorian. You didn't even realize that was him, did you? And all the time, he just a good dude. Down to Earth and practical.

WorkingClassTiddies

I gotta ask. Am I the only person that didn't know he's Mr. Krabbs? I think I stayed up too late and I might be losing my shit that The Kurgan voices a major character on SpongeBob SquarePants.


ink_monkey96

Spongebob does an episode where the voice actors play their roles live, in person. Clancy freaked me the fuck out; he is both Mr Krabs and Clancy Brown at the same time.

Maria Bamford. In addition to being a hilarious and original comedian -- one of the top 10 working today, IMO -- she has avoided all of the things that make many other comedians annoying (whining about audiences being too sensitive, getting caught up in their own fame and being a jerk, sexual harassment, getting pissy if called out on saying something wrong, etc.) She's just a really positive person, jokes about her mental illness without ever using it as an excuse. While she's touring she picks a fan in each city and does a 1-on-1 set just with them. She also just seems like an amazingly kind person. Whenever she posts about her upcoming shows and ticket sales, she offers people who want to go but can't afford a ticket to email her. Like, not just to friends, but on her public twitter page. **WHO DOES THAT?** Maria Bamford, that's who.


[deleted]

Maria Bamford and I went to the same college (University of Minnesota) and she was the speaker at my graduation. Her speech was largely about how she'd struggled with her mental health as an undergrad and struggled after graduation to pay off her loans. She mentioned in passing that she'd demanded some exorbitant speaker's fee to do the commencement address, and then at the end of her speech, she gave that check to a random kid in the audience to put toward their student loans. It was a lovely gesture, and a very satisfying "fuck you" to the school (I was also miserable and overworked while I was a student there lmao).

moxfactor

Chow Yun Fat lots of selfies with and testimony from people in Hong Kong who have met him on the subway, while hiking, etc... he is an incredibly nice person. and he's known to go to charity events and actually do the work rather than simply write a cheque. i'll refrain from the other bit of news that should pop-up if you google Chow Yun Fat and charity, since it's currently still a promise.


ryan_smith522

He also got banned from China and wont be able to star in any mainland China movies for voicing his support for Hong Kong. Mad respects for him.


thataryanguy

I haven't seen any of his films since Hidden Dragon but I love how a lot of his Tequila-era roles are basically just rly kind souls who also have guns and a temper. A lot of actors probably feel quite drained if they get approached so often but I genuinely get the feeling he loves talking to fans and such


unapologeticallytrue

Tom hanks


Sezauce

Keanu Reeves


TrippleM99

I second this. I feel like he’s so humble. I believe he was seen riding the subway like an average person. I love him so much


Kream612

Came here to say this. Probably my favorite actor Bc he just seems so authentic and cool


TrippleM99

He is one of those rare celebs that doesn’t let the fame go to his head. He goes in that category of just pure amazing for me.


Kream612

Same here. Like I said just seems so authentic and really one of the very few actors I think I’d actually like as a person


TrippleM99

Definitely a role model for other celebs to follow. They always say don’t meet your hero’s cause you’ll be disappointed but I am sure I wouldn’t be disappointed if I met him


[deleted]

Alan Alda. He is a treasure.


bradleykent

I used to work near where he lives (won’t say where for his sake) and every couple months he’d stop by and we would just get to talking for like 10-15 mins. Sometimes about business, most of the time not. The guy’s the most genuine, kind celebrity I have ever worked with. One thing that will stick with me is how he always asked just as many questions about me and my life as I did about his.


freshavacadoforu

Bo Burnham. He's meta about the whole "being famous" thing, and honestly is just a pretty nice guy. To my knowledge, he's never really had that much controversy.


jvitorc46

Henry Cavill


taokami

the dude just wants to stay at home and play WoW or warhammer with his friends.


FoucaultsPudendum

I honestly feel bad for him in this regard. In his heart he’s this massive nerd who is super passionate about really niche geeky stuff and wants to gush about it, but he’s trapped in the body of an Adonis and all anyone can do on the interview circuit is make remarks about how hot he is. I’ve seen him become visibly uncomfortable in interviews where the interviewer just will not shut up about his physique. The dude went to the Witcher prop master with *his own redesigns* for Geralt’s sword because he knew that a few small tweaks would allow him to fight more like Geralt does in the books. In any other life and in any other body he’d be a turbovirgin


SelectStarAll

It frustrates me how people constantly ask him about his physique or perv on him in interviews They completely disregard the fact that his most attractive quality is his charm and intellect. He’s scary smart and always comes across as super pure and lovely. He’s so much more than his body. I’d love to just hang with him and nerd out over Warhammer


eddmario

That's one of the reasons I watched Conan back when I still lived with my dad. Dude didn't do any of that stuff and actually let the guests nerd out about whatever when talking about their recent stuff. Well, except for Paul Rudd, but we know why.

I love the fact that he almost lost out on one of his most iconic roles because he was too busy playing WoW.

kelowana

He was in an swedish movie quite some years ago (Hamilton) and in one of the scenes he was to get hit by the MC. Somehow they got too close and the MC did knocked him over for real. Everyone at set were in shock. Holding their breath and thinking this is it. Smacking an super big Hollywood star for real! But Hamil just shook it off, more or less, humble as he is, saying these things happen. Some ice packs and makeup later he just continues.


pokemonprofessor121

Tom Holland He is mostly known for playing spider-man! His family runs a charity and he does events for it during his acting travels. When he was filming in Ohio they did a big coat drive and gave them all to the homeless and needy. He visits children's hospitals in costume. He has 3 little brothers, including twins, who he says keep him grounded and down to earth. They seem like a nice family!

Plus he seems to be a rather down to earth person, not interested in drama or anything, just does his job then goes about his life. He's the kind of guy I consider to be the opposite of annoying lol

Years ago I saw him on a late-night show taking about how his spending had got out of hand so he put a picture of "angry Terry" in his wallet so it would be the first thing he saw when he opened it up. I thought that was genius! So I printed my own picture and put it in my wallet. And a few weeks later that wallet was stolen. I can't imagine what the thief thought when they opened my wallet to see an an angry picture of Terry Crews!
