Celebs Who Are Actually Nice In Real Life
BuzzFeed Community members recently told us about their most memorable and heartfelt celebrity encounters, and the stories are so sweet, I need you to read them right now!! "I saw John Krasinski (who, no lie, has always been my dream boat celeb) at the Tate. This guy is so, so tall!! I embarrassingly chased him down to the Münch special exhibit ticket line and stood behind him awkwardly until he was about to be next. I tapped him on the shoulder and, even more embarrassingly, said, 'John?' LIKE I KNEW THE GUY! He turned around and acted unfazed, asked why we were there, and asked us where we were doing our art history grad school in London — as if he actually wanted to have a convo! He said, 'Oh, well, this is the place to be!' I asked him the same question, and he said, 'My wife is from here.' And I had the kahunas to say, 'Oh, Emily, of course!' LIKE I KNEW HER TOO! We took several pictures because he said, 'Do you like how you look?' Ha! I think I had that pic as my profile pic for years." "Paul McCartney. I met him at a press conference at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago while working as a reporter. Afterward, he talked to us one by one. During our conversation, he pulled out a large piece of paper and drew a picture, dedicating it to my sister. How nice could this guy be? They say he's the Beatle with the most PR qualities, and they are probably right." "My husband met Rihanna years ago and said she was super nice. He was working as a ground handler at an airport and was setting up something on the ramp for her private plane. She came out, approached him, asked him about his job, and they chatted for a few minutes. Not sure if she was killing time until the gate opened, or if she went out of her way to talk to him for the heck of it, but he had nothing but nice things to say about her." "I met George Takei at my state's Comic-Con. My students read his graphic novel, They Called Us Enemy, in class. At the end of the unit, I had them write a letter to him. I chose a few of them and took them with me to Comicon. I had a cover letter with them to explain what we did. George signed my copy of his book, thanked me for being a teacher and teaching his book, and said that he and Brad would read the letters in the hotel that night. They both talked to me for a few minutes and were so kind. When I returned to school from break, there was a handwritten thank-you note from George in my mailbox! He and Brad are both class acts." "Jennifer Aniston is a sweetheart. She seemed very genuine and kind. I met her in a restaurant bathroom, of all places. We talked for so long, her friend had to come and find her." "I met Lorne Michaels when I worked at a 5-star restaurant. Everyone who worked with me knew I'd been a fan of SNL since I came out of the womb, so when I picked up the phone to make the reservation and spoke with his assistant, I told them I was Lorne's biggest fan. When he arrived with his wife and son (who went to a local boarding school), they were so kind, and he said, 'Oh, I heard you're my biggest fan, and that's amazing because I don't have fans — the cast always has fans!' I almost died. I gave them my favorite table, which they were thrilled with, and when he got up to leave, he left me an envelope with a pretty sweet bonus tip inside. I wasn't usually tipped for doing my work, so it wasn't necessary, but it was so thoughtful and appreciated. You'd never know he was famous or rich at all." "I've met Harry Styles several times; he is so nice and considerate. He actually put off going out with his team just to sit and talk to my 15-year-old daughter and me. I'm sure he was exhausted, but he seemed to enjoy relaxing and chatting with us. My daughter will most likely live on that memory for years to come!" "I met Matthew Gray Gubler after he did a talk years ago at my college! Only the first 100 people who got tickets were supposed to be able to do a meet and greet. He said 'rules were made to be broken' and that he would stay and meet with everyone until they kicked him out. Not only was he incredibly sweet to me (literally introduced humble and posed for a goofy pic), but he seemed so genuinely kind to everyone there. Just amazing energy all around." "Carol Burnett. I was returning from Indonesia and had a layover in San Francisco, where I saw Carol Burnett. I would not have bothered her, except I had her biography in my purse. When I approached her, she was so excited that I was reading her book. We talked until our planes called to board them. She even signed the book. What a lovely lady." "Not long before Stan Lee died, I met him at his final East Coast appearance. My son had made a Spider-Man comic book for him. He was thrilled! He read it aloud, laughed joyfully at the ending (Doc Oc forgot to put batteries in his machine), and made me promise to encourage my son and his gift. I did, and he hugged me. He was so kind! I cried when he died. I think of him often and like to think he's with his beloved wife now." "Will Ferrell is awesome. He almost doesn't seem to recognize that he's one of the most famous movie stars in the world. He makes incredible eye contact with strangers and will sit and talk to anyone. You can just tell when a person is full of themselves and when they are not, and he is not." "A friend and I visited my boyfriend while he was doing security at a jazz festival in Malibu. He told us Adam Sandler and his family had been there all day, and tons of people took pictures with him. We ran back to the car to grab the digital camera, looked up, and saw Adam, his pregnant wife Jackie, and their toddler leaving. We went up to them. Adam was clearly done for the day, but his wife said, 'Honey, let me hold [toddler's name] and you can take a picture.' We handed him the camera and he took a selfie with us. Still have that picture on my fridge. Love the Sandman!" "Stellan Skarsgard. I met Stellan on a flight from Washington, D.C., to Stockholm, Sweden. He was such a kind, lovely man, and even after a long, tiring flight, he walked with me down to the luggage claim and collected and carried his own bags. We talked about his kids and what movies and projects his sons were currently doing. He was just amazing and completely normal. I've always admired his work, and now I'm even more impressed with him as a person. I watch anything he's cast in, as well as his sons; they definitely inherited his talent." "Clint Eastwood. He was friends with the dad of one of my friends, and we were at my friend's dad's cabin in northern California to party. We were surprised when his dad showed up, and we had to hide the party evidence (his dad was a DA). We did not expect his dad to be there…but Clint was with him, and he played frisbee in a meadow with us. We sort of pretended we did not recognize him. I think he had fun being normal for a bit. Nice person." "I can only speak from my perspective, but Tom Hardy was cool to work with. I know select people, including Charlize Theron, have criticized him. But context is also important. It's easier to see how somebody could be grumpier working in the deserts of South Africa for weeks on Mad Max, which had to be an incredibly challenging shoot, than in urban Atlanta while shooting the first Venom. But whenever he walked by me and my crew, he would light up, call us 'buddy,' give us bro hugs, and sometimes stop and chat. He did this pretty much from the first time we met him, and he never stopped." "In the spring of 1981, I was 15 years old, a sophomore in high school, and working a part-time job at a small grocery store in a tiny Texas town. One of our regular customers came in and mentioned that Farrah Fawcett was outside waiting in a car. Turns out she and others were taking a break from filming the movie Murder in Texas at a ranch just up the road. As a 15-year-old boy and a huge fan of hers, I asked my boss if I could go meet her and get her autograph. I quickly asked my coworkers if they wanted to go, too. All declined. So I went alone, found the car with her sitting in the backseat, and approached her. She rolled her window down and said hello. She was gorgeous." "Ron Howard. I went to a golf prep school in South Carolina, where his son, Reed, also attended in a younger grade. He and his wife attended a tournament we were playing in Absecon, NJ. The van we rented that drove us to the airport was full, and I nervously asked him if he would drive me back with his son. It was only a 10-minute drive to the airport, but the three of them were super down to earth, and it became apparent that they were salt of the earth, humble people — also evidenced by the modest station wagon he was driving. Awesome experience and a very nice family!" "I got to meet Tom Kenny at a convention in November. He is just as darling in person as you would expect! I did a photo op with him, and I could hear him chatting with people as they went up to take their pictures. I got up and took my picture, but was so nervous I had nothing to say. I had dressed as Sara Bellum from Power Puff Girls since he voiced the mayor in the show, and as I was walking away, he called out, 'I love a scarlet lady!' I immediately let out a big giggle and skittered away. Such a gem!" "Joey Fatone. I met him at a convention, and he was so genuine and took the time to talk with everyone; it was more than just a photo op. He gave everyone a hug or a handshake and made you feel like you were talking to a friend, not a member of a superstar boy band." "I met Martin Sheen after a speaking engagement he had. He was so friendly that he even serenaded me with the song 'Cecilia' after he learned my name." "Dan Aykroyd was beyond nice! When I was in college, a friend of mine was interning at SNL and managed to sneak my friends and me after-party tickets. At the time, the cast included people like Jimmy Fallon, Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and many others. We went to the after-party at a little restaurant/bar in Little Italy in downtown Manhattan. My friends and I were on a back patio sitting down, and out walks Dan Aykroyd and his brother. We were sitting there with our jaws on the floor. He immediately introduced himself and started asking us questions — who we were, what college we were attending, what we were studying — and even gave us great life advice. He sat and talked to all of us for about 30 minutes before we went back into the restaurant area, then held the door for us. Super down-to-earth! Not sure if he will ever read this, but if so, thank you, Dan, for being so nice to a star-struck college kid!" "I met Joe Pesci in a bar in NYC in 2003. He was with several security guards who were trying to keep people away from him, but a friend and I waved at him, and he came over and talked to us. We chatted for several minutes. He was extremely kind and funny!" "I used to be a lift-op at Aspen Buttermilk ski area. Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell would frequent our lift with their little kids, one of whom was Kate Hudson, who was probably 6 years old. They were the nicest folks and would always chat with us (unlike most other celebrities). Kurt is such a laid-back and down-home dude. Kudos." "One that might be surprising is Colin Hanks. It would be easy to assume he's some privileged nepo baby who has no comprehension of reality. But he is actually quite down-to-earth. We worked on a show called The Good Guys back in 2010, and we would speak to each other daily as if we were friends, telling jokes and talking about our days. He has a great sense of humor and seems pretty humble, considering his upbringing as the son of the biggest movie star of a generation. A few years later, I got to work on Bridges of Spies with his dad, and while I didn't have as many meaningful conversations with him, he also seemed very personable and approachable. It explained a lot about why Colin was the way he was." "One really awesome guy is Keith David. I worked with him on a TV show when my first daughter, Lottie, was born. He latched onto it and was delighted to talk to me about my first days of fatherhood. He even let me show him pictures of her on my phone. He remembered her name and would come in and very excitedly ask, 'How's my little Lottie?' He would genuinely listen to what I had to say, smiling and actively participating in the conversation. He would also affirm that I was experiencing some of my life's most challenging yet fulfilling moments. He also read a crew member's script, and one day, people brought posters from Platoon and The Thing, and he was happy to sign them." And: "I worked in the film industry for over 20 years. I've met a lot of celebrities through the years. More of them know how to behave with decorum than don't (at least in small interactions), and I've met many very famous and tactful celebrities. The absolute nicest, though, was Lacey Chabert. I worked on a small movie with her in Dallas, and she was always professional, even-tempered, friendly, and down-to-earth. She went to the wrap party stag and sat at a table beside my wife and me. We started a conversation and talked for a very long time about nothing at all until she had to be pulled away to do something. It was such a personable conversation that it felt like we were sitting with an old friend." Who's the nicest celebrity you've ever had the pleasure of meeting? What was your interaction like?

Paul McCartney reveals his 3 favorite albums — not by The Beatles
When it's time to put on a record, Paul McCartney is a big fan of the classics. The former Beatle revealed his top three albums in a recent installment of his segment 'You Know The Answer,' in which McCartney responds to one question from a fan. The answers are then posted on his website. For the June 25 installment, a fan asked the legendary musician, 'Are there any albums that take you back to certain periods in your life? And does performing your own music evoke similar memories?' McCartney responded with, 'Yeah, definitely. My favourite albums by other people tend to be: Music from Big Pink by The Band, Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, and Harvest by Neil Young. They are the three classics that I love to listen to, and they all remind me of certain times in my life.' The 83-year-old went on to say that when he performs his own songs, 'they often bring back memories of recording them. That can often entail memories of John and George in the studio — sweet memories!" Fans looking to ask McCartney a question can submit theirs via the Paul McCartney Official Fan Group on Facebook, or by tagging @paulmccartney on social media.

Ringo Starr Radio City review: Set list, notes, where to buy tickets
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Seeing Ringo Starr live comes with expectations. The jovial former Beatle is one of the most famous human beings on the planet and his drumming contributed to countless all-timer 20th century anthems, ballads and oddities. To catch him in concert is to spend the whole night wondering 'will he sing my favorite song?' 'is he going to talk about John, Paul and George?' 'what will he close with?' So, when we entered Radio City Music Hall for his June 13 concert, The New York Post drew up a 'Ringo Bingo Card' (trademark pending). Here's what we guessed would go down over the next hour or two: 'Yellow Submarine' 'Hard Day's Night' clip Peace signs Reference to being knighted 'With A Little Help From My Friends' closer Beatles joke Surprise Paul appearance Drumming 'Octopus' Garden' Yet, as always, the shockingly youthful 84-year-old Rock Hall of Famer — did you know he turns 85 on July 7?! — surprised. For instance, we learned that he performs with an All Starr Band comprised of a hodgepodge of classic rockers from Toto, Men At Work, The Average White Band and more. And, best of all, he still sings and drums like it's 1967. So, to give you an idea of what actually went down at Ringo's live show, here's a full recap of the rockin', bucket list of an evening at Radio City. We hope you will enjoy the show (spoiler: he didn't play that 'Sgt. Pepper's' song). At 8 p.m. the mostly older crowd was seated. Baby Boomers nursed pricey beverages. Younger, less punctual crowd members such as myself, shuffled into our seats. Spirits were high. A Beatle was in the building. Moments later, the octogenarian ran onstage flashing peace . That was not on our 'Ringo Bingo Card.' Donning his trademark sunglasses and not looking a day over 45, the wily drummer turned frontman jogged into place — not exactly at a Mick Jagger-like pace but certainly speedy for someone who spent most of their career seated at a drum kit and happens to be in their mid-80s — and his dutiful band followed suit. They were Colin Hay of Men At Work, Steve Lukather of Toto, Average White Band's Hamish Stuart, ELO's Gregg Bissonette, Kansas' Warren Ham and Aerosmith's Buck Johnson. The seven of them launched into a jaunty rendition of The Beatles' 'Honey Don't' from the group's 1964 'Beatles For Sale.' It was a bit of an obscure choice to start the show but chronologically made sense. The bluesy number, accompanied by Ringo bassy vocals that sounded just like they did in the '64 studio version, served as a nice lead-in for what would be a relaxed evening full of comfort food rock and roll that's pleasing to the ear and soul. Once he got through the harmless, little ditty, the requisite showman addressed the crowd and asked 'who had tickets to last year's cancelled show?' The crowd roared. With that, the groovy good time continued with the muscly 1973 radio staple 'It' Don't Come Easy.' Although we hadn't ticked any boxes on our 'Ringo Bingo Card' this saxy, tambourine ditty was more than welcome and, for our money, might be the best single from Ringo's half-century long solo career. Time to take a seat As the final 'It Don't Come Easy' strings sounded, the Liverpudlian wonder took a seat behind his drums and let the 'All Starrs' take over. Like George Harrison in the Traveling Wilburys, this supergroup is full of frontmen that can take the reins and headline the show on their own. Up first was Lukather, who took us back to 1982 with the singalong 'Rosanna,' which had an epic sax solo built in. From there, the seven grandpa garage rock group All Starr Band took us on a lively hit parade. Hamish Stuart took center stage next and delivered the truly funky 'Pick Up The Pieces' that had the crowd take their toe-tapping to the next level. Some audience members didn't appreciate this — one person in my section yelled 'sit down' at my entire row — but that didn't let us ruin our fun. Ringo absolutely owning his drum solo was icing on the cake. The 'non-Ringo' portion of the evening concluded with Colin Hay. Radio City took a seat and the Aussie regaled us with vaudevillian one-liners about how he doesn't get recognized and spends his days waiting in line for medication…even though he's a Grammy winner. And then he effortlessly launched into a perfect version of the endlessly catchy 'Down Under' complete with yet another hook-y sax solo and a call-and-response for a crowd that couldn't wait to belt along with Hay. Hey, there's Ringo After that brief respite, the former Fab Four member returned to the spotlight and handled a perfectly serviceable cover of The Shirelles' 'Boys.' Starr followed it up with John Lennon's self-referential 'I'm The Greatest,' a song that always sounded like Lennon was channeling Starr (Ringo did say 'John wrote 'I Am The Greatest' and couldn't handle it but I could'). Not a highlight but a nice moment that was not on our Bingo Card. Once the song wrapped, we finally got ourselves a Ringo Bingo Card moment when Starr pretended to launch into 'Yesterday,' 'Day Tripper' and 'I Saw Her Standing There.' The crowd roared. Of course, the trickster cut things short and opted to play one of his own tunes. That tune was the chills-inducing 'Yellow Submarine.' Starr sounded better and more assured here than anywhere else over the course of the night. We were on a roll. Plus, that track knocked off our second box on the unofficial Ringo Bingo Card. Bye, Ringo Being 84 and touring can't be easy. Ringo — who has been performing for over 60 years — knows this better than anyone and is capable of pacing himself. So, he informed the crowd he was going to 'grab a cup of tea backstage' and passed the show off to Hamish Stuart once again. He launched into the crowd-pleasing Average White Band banger 'Cut The Cake' that segued into an impressive medley, which included drum snippets of Sly and the Family Stone's 'Thank You Falettinme Be Mice Elf Again' (classy touch), Queen's 'We Will Rock You,' The Beatles' 'Come Together,' Grand Funk Railroad's 'We're An American Band' and Led Zeppelin's 'Immigrant Song.' This was rock and roll nirvana capped off with a go for broke drum solo to end it all. Quite a neat trick — like watching someone play 'Rock Band' on beyond expert level. What do you know, Ringo's back As the excitable audience rose to our feet to pay our respects to Buck Johnson who pulled off the impressive percussive feat, Ringo strolled back onstage and treated us to a second consecutive nautical tune: 'Octopus' Garden.' Oh, that wall of sound harmonizing that kicks in toward the end. If you're a Beatles fan, it must be witnessed live. My hair is standing on end days later typing this review thinking about how powerful the band sounded in person. In case you missed it, Ringo released a country record this past January. To pay homage to his 21st studio album, he played just one song, the plaintive 'Look Up,' which started slow before picking up halfway through and leading to the strummy 1974 yacht rocker 'No No Song.' It's a cute trifle but also made me realize something. Did Ringo's staccato vocals pave the way for David Byrne, DEVO, The B-52s and LCD Soundsystem? Before letting my mind wander too long, Colin Hay brought me back into the present with with his sensual 'Overkill' off 1983's 'Cargo.' I can't speak for everyone in the building but my section was here for this mini Men at Work greatest hits concert folded into a Ringo show. Immediately after, it was Lukather's turn to do his thing again and tricked us before leading into 'Africa' by dropping a horrible 'experimental jazz' song. Oddly enough, the ironic fan favorite didn't get the roar it deserved. Neither did the spot-on cover of The Isley Brothers' 'Work To Do' led by Hamish Stuart. Just as it seemed the crowd was slowing — whole swaths of sections were staying seated — Ringo brought us back with 1963's skiffle-y 'I Wanna Be Your Man.' It won't make the show's 'best of' but was certainly a good time. Then, Hay kept folks on their feet with the timeless, slinky 'Who Can It Be Now.' Try listening to that one and get it out of your head. It's impossible. Toto became the main event once more right after and dropped the always welcome 'Hold The Line.' This night really was like if classic rock radio came to technicolor life by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist virtuosos. Everyone on the stage filled in where needed. It's not hard to see why Ringo recruited this lineup: they're a great team of ego-free utility men only concerned with putting on a great show. The rest of the night belonged to Ringo To close the evening, Ringo went full Paul McCartney and gave us his most frontman self. That meant an emphatic, impassioned performance of 'Photograph.' Live, the song was equal parts gorgeous and cheese. In short, it's nostalgia wrapped up into a four-minute pop song. Knowing the night was coming to a close, I consulted the always trusty Set List FM and headed to the exit here. Ya gotta beat the crowd. While ambling to the back, Ringo busted out the silly, barroom-ready, country western 'Act Naturally.' Hard not to smile through that one…nor the night's finale, the rousing 'With a Little Help From My Friends.' There was not a dry eye in the house as Starr warbled through the Just like that, my Ringo Bingo Card was complete (although we didn't get a surprise Paul appearance, 'Hard Day's Night' clip or reference to being knighted) and the perfect evening concluded with a 'Give Peace A Chance' outro. No encore necessary. Final verdict You might not believe it based on how much ink was spilled here but this show flew by. These workmanlike vets know how to put on a show for folks of all ages who want to party but also get home before 10:30. If you're a Beatles fan, make sure you see Ringo live even if 'It Don't Come Easy.' Right now, he's as sprightly as ever at almost 85 but who knows how long he'll be at this level?

The country record is made up of 11 lively, occasionally emotional tracks that sometimes rip and sometimes tug at your heartstrings. Sure, it's a bit odd to hear a lad from Liverpool over plucky Americana but Starr makes it work. Standouts here include the earthy, stripped-down 'Breathless' (feat. bluegrass wunderkind Billy Strings), the melancholy 'Time On My Hands,' smoldering 'Rosetta,' square dance ready 'You Want Some' and syrupy sweet 'Come Back' duet with Lucius who complement Ringo beautifully. Stick around for 'Can You Hear Me Call,' too. Flashes of The Beatles can be heard if you listen closely enough. Wanna give the record a spin? You can look up 'Look Up' here. All Starr Band members Starr's All Starrs all have very impressive resumes. To make sure you're in the loop, here's who you can expect to see onstage with Ringo when you see him live next summer. Colin Hay might look and sound familiar. In addition to playing with Ringo, he also fronted the popular group Men At Work. Steve Lukather did a little bit of everything when he played with Toto. Most notably, he served as the 'Hold The Line' group's singer and guitarist. Gregg Bissonette drums. He also gets around. You may have seen him and his kit onstage with Spinal Tap, The David Lee Roth Band, or Electric Light Orchestra. Hamish Stuart was the bassist for the Average White Band. He also played alongside the Paul McCartney Band. Warren Ham has played multiple instruments for multiple iconic classic rock outfits including Kansas, Toto. He's also jammed on tour with Donna Summer and Olivia Newton-John. Buck Johnson made his bones playing with Aerosmith and acting as their keyboardist, backing vocalist and acoustic guitarist. He's also performed with the supergroup Hollywood Vampires and his country band Whiskey Falls.
