A Redditor asked: "Who was the nicest celebrity you have ever met?"

A lot of attention is paid to fan interactions with celebrities that don't go well.

But there are plenty of times when everyone approached the situation with kindness and the experience was positive for both parties.


A Redditor asked:

"Who was the nicest celebrity you have ever met?"

Leslie Nielsen

"Leslie Nielsen. Great guy. He used to shop at Costco and always joked with everyone. Always had a smile on his face."

"A ton of people were in town for Tyson vs Lewis and looking for stuff to do afterwards. Apparently, the deep house music coming from our club night caught Mr Hines' ear."

"He paid to get in and danced his a** off all night. Just the nicest guy."

"Shook our hands and thanked us on the way out and everything. I was barely 22, and it blew my mind."

Dan Aykroyd

"Dan Aykroyd. I ran into him years ago at the Met in NYC. Told him my son was a big Ghostbusters fan and asked for his autograph."

"He grabbed me by the arm and pulled me behind a statue. I thought he was going to kick myaa**, he’s much bigger than me.

"He said he didn’t want to create a scene. Hence the statue hideout, then wrote a nice personalized note to my son (including Take good care of your pop) and signed it with the A in Aykroyd in the shape of a Conehead."

"So cool. Nice guy."

"After we landed my mom wanted to get his autograph but he had a circle of people around him. He noticed my mom standing there and grabbed her hand and pulled her into the inner circle."

"He signed her notebook and chatted for a while. Super nice guy."

Post Malone

"Post Malone. Everyone on his team during pre-production said he’s just the greatest person ever. I thought, 'How great can he be?'."

"Post Malone is one of the nicest and truly genuine people I’ve ever met. Dude brought his parents on set and was just so excited to share what we were doing with them. He deserves all the success in the world."

We will all have friends who come into our lives for a reason, for a season, or for a lifetime. There are those situational friendships, like from work or school, that dissolve when we exit that space, and there are friendships that might form from knowing the same people.
