“Probably Didn’t See That One Coming”: People Are Sharing Celebrities Who Are Total Angels In Real Life, And Some Of Them Are Surprising Millions Of People

“He is like the guy you grew up with who somehow became famous and does not totally understand how he became famous.”
Also, before we begin, please note that BuzzFeed cannot verify any of these claims.
1. “50 Cent. Okay, I know this could be controversial. A lot of you like to shit talk him. He is the nicest guy on the planet — the most respectful, the kindest, very smart. I cannot begin to tell you how bright that man is and how not enough credit is given to 50 Cent. He is brilliant. He is kind. He’s just like an outstanding human. You meet him, you feel like there’s an aura of ‘good dude’ around.”
2. “Next one, Jason Biggs. People probably don’t see that one coming. You stand with him. He cracks jokes; he hangs out. He’s not pretentious at all. He has no bullshit. He shows up in a T-shirt. He is like the guy you grew up with, who lives next door, who somehow became famous…and does not totally understand how he became famous…is enjoying the fame and good life that he lives, but is still totally a very normal dude, a very normal dad-guy who just happens to be a famous person.”
3. “And the last one, my absolute favorite. It’s kind of a two-for-one: Salt-N-Pepa. The nicest humans I have ever met. When I tell you that I sat with these women for, I don’t know, a good few hours. We were supposed to be together for half an hour. I was interviewing them for NBC. This was years ago when I was still doing stuff for NBC. They ended up swapping recipes with me, just shooting the shit…being the nicest people and down to earth. You know, being very real about what it’s like as a woman getting a little bit older in this industry — and what I mean is anyone who’s over 25 is older, and I hate that, but it is what it is. Anyway, those are the nicest people that I’ve met.”
After hearing this, I had to take a look at what people were saying in the comments. A lot were also sharing their pleasant experiences with celebs:
4. “I used to work on Demi Moore’s account at my old job. She was always kind and not a diva at all.”
5. “My favorite celebrity encounter was making a smoothie for Gordon Ramsay. He was super nice and said he would be back later to get his friend something. The friend was David Beckham who was also super nice and they stayed and took pictures with everyone.”
6. “Usher was one of my regulars at my job in the early 2000s and was super cool. Later, I ran into him at the mall, and he recognized me and said, ‘What’s up, girl.’
”
7. “Beyoncé. I met her in Target, and she was super sweet; I thought she would be avoidant, but she noticed I kept looking, and she waved and then started talking. I was a flabbergasted child.”
8. “I was an extra in a movie starring Matthew McConaughey. He made sure every single person on and around the set ate lunch, had enough to drink, and was comfortable. After shooting, every day, he pretty much rented out a bar/restaurant and everyone ate and drank for free. He also took the time to make sure he had a conversation with everyone, no matter the importance of the role you had on set.”
9. “Reba was the nicest I’ve met.”
10. “I met Damon Wayans Jr., and our family ended up talking to him and his daughter for an hour. Super nice and very sweet man, and his daughter is absolutely beautiful.”
11. “Paris Hilton was the sweetest.”
12. “I personally know Steven Tyler, and he is so kind and down to earth. Very quirky, but very nice!”
13. “I met Lana Del Rey a couple years ago, and she was so nice. We stood and talked for probably 15 minutes, and she seemed genuinely interested in the conversation, such a sweet person!”
14. “I have a few clients who work in film. They love working with Nicolas Cage — very professional and extremely personal. He likes to have deep conversations and connect with everyone on set, and remembers everyone’s names.”
15. “Matthew Lillard is SOOOO sweet! I’ve not heard one bad thing about him.”
16. “Pamela Anderson was the nicest for us.”
17. “Nicest: Harry Styles”
18. “Brendan Fraser is a mensch! He shopped in my bookstore once — asked for recommendations for kids’ books, bought everything we said, spent time, cared about the gifts, was SO kind and funny throughout.”
19. “Jennifer Garner was the nicest celebrity I’ve ever met.”
20. “I met Lady Gaga. I had never listened to her music, but after I met her, I became a fan. She is the sweetest person I’ve met in the industry.”
21. “Shemar Moore is such a gorgeous and humble man. I’m a huge fan and glad he went above and beyond to be kind.”
