Danny DeVito - During the filming of Matilda, Mara Wilson's mother had terminal Cancer. DeVito set up a special pre-screening in her hospital room so she could see her daughter in the film before she died.

Shaun off the chase
Jo brand
I used to live near Jo and saw her a lot in the local park when I was pregnant. We chatted a few times, she was lovely and kind. Saw her when I had him, pushing his pram. "Oh you've had it then? How's your fanny?" 🤣

Nicholas Lyndhurst I loved him in butterflies and goodnight sweetheart amongst other things and of course my all time fave only fools and horses, no matter what part he plays he will always be Rodney to me as I grew up watching him playing him
He always comes across quite shy and quiet I real life and stays out of the public eye even when they tragically lost Archie
I'm so pleased his career is having a revival with fraiser 🤗

Steve Buscemi. If anything ever came out about him being abusive I would genuinely be upset. He is a former NYC firefighter and after 9/11 he went to ground zero to work with his old station mates to search the rubble. He was also with his wife for 30 years until she died at the age of 65. He just seems like a good egg.

And we all read that I'm Jo Brand's voice, didn't we?

I know he's longer with us but I just loved Dale Winton. Someone I know met him and said he was so lovely and down to earth.

Patricia Routledge (Hyacinth Bucket, pronounced bouquet!) from Keeping Up Appearances. I love her comedy and priceless facial expressions, and I strive to inspire as much terror in people as Hyacinth does. 🤣 🥰

Celine Dion. Not my cup of tea music-wise, but she seems very self‐deprecating.

Steve Carell. Again, not a huge fan of his work, but seems to be a very nice chap in all the interviews I've seen with him.

Always had a soft spot for Angela Lansbury. She seemed to be one of the last of a golden age, and always brought me happy memories of my childhood from films like Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Mrs Arris Goes to Paris and Beauty and the Beast. Plus memories of my lovely grandparents who always used to watch "Jessica Fletcher", as they called it.

I'll start.
Will Young. I've no real idea why. I just always feel a bit protective toward him.

All of the members of Abba. They are so humble, genuinely surprised and grateful that their music is still so popular after 50 years. I’ve been a fan since 1976 so maybe I’m biased. They’ve just been awarded the Order of the Vasa in Sweden, presented by the King and Queen. I think it’s the equivalent of a knighthood in the UK. I feel so proud of them and their achievements - does that sound odd as obviously I don’t know them personally?

Michael J. Fox. Whenever he makes an appearance I'm so heart eyes for him, have been ever since I was a kid and the BTTF films were often on TV along with other stuff he did.

I’m surprised Keanu Reeves wasn’t mentioned on the other thread.
He seems like a genuinely nice human being.

I'm not sure celebrity is massively correct, but I have a wee soft spot for Gaz from Geordie Shore. Like he was an absolute pillock of the highest order when he was in his 20s, did all his ladding around on TV, but made his money and has invested it well and now seems to be quite the doting dad and golfer. I dunno, just think he's a bit of a bad lad turned good who still gets tarred with the same brush people used a decade ago.

Also like to hear of Rylan doing well. He's another one who turned his slight talent into an absolute dream and fair blooming play to him for it, he ran with his opportunities and seems like a lovely bloke with it.

Olivia Attwood, she just comes across as quite down to earth, she's honest about her Instagram ads and doesn't try to hide the fact she's advertising something, I dunno there's just something "real" about her compared to most, she doesn't go for the whole relatable thing, she buys herself expensive shit and is honest about it, and for some reason, the way she doesn't court the whole I'm so wholesome and relatable trope, actually to me makes her more relatable.

Paul O'Grady (RIP)
Dale Winton (RIP)
George Michael (RIP)
Jill Dando (RIP) - lovely, warm, kind, classy, elegant woman who died in such tragic and horrific circumstances.
John Thaw (RIP) - I love Morse and I always thought he excuded a certain vulnerability. I was sad to read that he was determined to carry on acting after his cancer diagnosis, but unfortunately his health deteriorated and passed away quite soon after.
Gene Wilder (RIP) - iconic as Willy Wonka
Robin Williams (RIP) - brilliant actor, seemed like a nice man and a lot of his films bring a warm, nostalgic feeling.
Angela Lansbury (RIP))

Dolly Parton - I love her uniqueness
Steve Buscemi - loved him never since I saw him in Ghost World and Big Daddy.
Adam Sandler - reminds me of my childhood. I grew up watching his 90s films. He was good in a couple of dramatic roles I've seen him in too.
Jack Black - another childhood favourite
Tamsin Greig - naturally funny and she's great I everything I've seen her in, including Friday Night Dinner and Love Soup.
Bti of a random one, David Hatcher and Helen Phelps (off old-school Crimewatch) - I loved their presenting style - professional but also endearing with a touch of humour.
John Dye (RIP) - played the Angel of Death in one of my favourite cosy TV shows. He died young.
Kevin Kline - very charismatic actor, steals the show in every film.
Maggie Smith
Rylan Clark
Dermot O'Leary
Pam St. Clement
Harry Hill
Winona Ryder
Graham Norton

Probably loads more.
