Exluding Keanu, Tom Hanks, and Warren Buffet
Stephen Colbert. I met him once, very briefly. He was visiting a thing I was working. He was very kind - went around to everyone, shook our hands, and introduced himself individually.
But that made me think he was a legit good guy. He didn’t have to take the time to do that.
Keanu Reeves.
Tom hanks
Jimmy Buffett
Candyman!
If you mean Tony Todd, then yeah. I met him. Very nice guy. One of very few celebrity encounters I’ve had that was positive.
Warwick Davis. Every time I saw him at cons he was super nice.
One time he was holding a panel down in front of the stage because on the stage the acoustics sucked. So while he was answering some question or so one of the handlers brought him a glas of water and put it on the edge of the stage. Shortly thereafter Warwick went to get the water but the stage was just about tall enough that he couldn’t reach, even with jumping. He took it with humor, the handler was more embarrassed about it.
I’ve heard only pleasant things about Weird Al.
Diamond Dallas Paige
When I met him he seemed genuinely a nice guy, and he’s helped so many broken wrestlers
I’d never heard of him until I tried his yoga workout and I completely agree. He seems so genuine and serious about lifting others up (ummm…no pun intended…maybe…).
I don’t put much stock in “nice,” but I can think of a few good celebrities.
- The late Harry Bellafonte
- Wallace Shawn
- Susan Sarandon
- Jane Fonda
- The late Sinéad O’Connor
- Roger Waters
Really? Roger ‘Russia did nothing wrong’ Waters? I’m not saying he’s scum or anything but I struggle to see him fitting in with the rest here.
He didn’t say “Russia did nothing wrong,“ but that is what NATO stans often hear.
User instance checks out
Thought-terminating cliché checks out.
You used the term “NATO stan” and call my response a cliche? I could tell you were a .ml user without even looking at your account.
The irony is entertaining. Thanks for the laugh, tanky
I don’t disagree with him on Israel, but Roger Waters has gone full tankie lately and for that reason he sucks
I’m not sure Waters is even a committed socialist. But then I doubt you have a coherent definition for tankie, so who knows what you mean.
I would refrain from that argument with your comment history
I met Brian O’Halloran (Dante from Clerks) once and he was super nice. We bullshitted for ages and he signed a thing for me.
It is not possible for Warren Buffet to be a nice guy because he is a dragon hoarding wealth while people die of deprivation and injustice.
He’s donated over 55 billion dollars
He “donated” over 55 billion dollars to what/whom, and to what ends? I don’t think you understand how modern-day robber-baron largess works.
The problem is how he got that $55 billion to donate.
Well to be frank, if he were born nowadays he would likely be seen as autistic because of his love for mathematics. He developed an early interest in the workings of stocks as a kid as his father owned a stock brockerage.
He always dabbled in small business ventures as a kid including buying a farm off his dad that ended up making him a small fortune as a 20 year old. He worked his way up in his dads firm as an investment salesman until he amassed enough to start his own firm. The funny thing is, he doesn’t spend much of his money because it’s mostly not liquid. He has a high net worth because he owns shares that he doesn’t access, and when he does, it’s usually for charity. He pledged to donate 99% of his wealth a long long time ago.
Do you work for Warren Buffet’s PR team or do you do this work for free 😂
Honestly isn’t that how most billionaires seek to portray themselves?
This person has fully lapped up the Warren buffet PR.
The $55 billion + is a waste product produced by his lifelong love of mathematics. Seriously. Even Buffett would probably agree that there’s a societal problem where a single human can amass that amount of (unnecessary) wealth. Probably explains why he gives it away. For him the satisfaction is seeing his system win - not necessarily the dividends it collects.
Are you sure he really donated it? Did it not go to one of the foundations he and Gates control to push their agendas like school privatization via “charter schools”?
He’s given back a small amount of what he’s hoarded over his vampiric existence.
He can only make billions in profits when he has billions to invest. If he kept giving everything away it would take him much longer to make the same amount of money.
I’m sorry what? He hasn’t made anything. The value created by the companies he owns is generated by the workers. He simply takes all that value that they’ve generated, and gives a poultry amount of it towards charities and NGOs to whitewash his reputation.
He’s not a nice guy, he’s a greedy ghoul.
You still don’t seem to understand he’s using his talent to help the less fortunate
Here’s an article about how he recently donated 5.3 billion in June to efforts towards healthcare, education, and grants
Do you think you would be capable of that kind of philanthropy in your lifetime?
You don’t understand that he and his ilk perpetuate the systems that result in healthcare and education being out of reach for so many people. All billionaires do a bit of philanthropy because look at how easy it is to fool people into thinking they deserve their obscene wealth.
And what have you done to help the cause?
George Takei
Danny Devito.
Ah, The Barnacle
I didn’t see Dolly on this list.
Jack Black?
He looks like a super chill guy
Amanda Tapping and Sidney Poitier were both down to earth and genuinely friendly when I met them.
Guillermo del Toro
I’m to scared to think any of them are okay anymore. Had my heart broken too many times.
