Which celebrity do you feel is the most genuinely likeable?

andy dick

no wait, lady gaga

tyra, dominick dunne (he’s dead) anderson cooper

Whoopi Goldberg. She just seems so down to earth and easy going. Love her.

britney spears
paris hilton

Morgan Freeman

DominicX
Can’t imagine anyone who would want to hate him

George Clooney.

Taylor Swift.

Hugh Jackman

John Cusack

My old classmate, Tom Hanks

James Earl Jones

Sandra Bullock

Met her in Austin when I was out for a jog by Lady Bird Lake. She was really nice.

When I read this question my initial thought was John Cusack. I’m glad that I am not the only one.

Will Smith
Denzel

Maybe it’s just me…:)

@filmfann Really? Tom Hanks was your class mate? That’s awesome! He seems like a nice person. Not to mention great actor.

Eddie Vedder and Kevin Spacey

Jenna Jameson.

@sjmc1989
She said likable not pretentious. :P

I think I would enjoy spending time with Susan Sarandon.

Steve Yzerman.

(I’m from the Midwest. There are more people who count as celebrities than just actors – out here, it’s all about the athletes.)

@SeventhSense You always have to patronize me don’t you?!

@oratio
She’s pretty talented
and she has nice attributes.
@sjmc1989
No love. just ribbing.
but it’s also my genuine opinion

@oratio Lurve for older woman attributes. Women over 40 rock.

Me.

@AstroChuck Your not just likeable your lovable

@sjmc1989
I turn around and you’re flirting with other boys on the playground?

@SeventhSense He’s just so damn cute I can’t help myself!

Jackie Chan

Shia LaBeouf. He’s adorable :)

Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel. He seems like the kind of guy you could have a few beers with. He also seems like a genuinely decent human being.

Ellen DeGeneres. Seems really honest, and I think she’s really funny.

Tom Hanks.

@ratboy I lol’d

Kanye West.

j.k
I like Jon Stewart.

I would have to say Matt Damon. He keeps a low profile, doesn’t take himself too seriously (his reaction to being named sexiest man alive comes to mind), and seems down to earth.

There are some GAs in here. Sandra Bullock, Tom Hanks, Mike Rowe – absolutely.

George Takei for sure. He’s very funny, very intelligent, graceful, laughs a lot, and works for scale, and for free, when there’s a cause involved.

another vote for tom hanks. something about james franco is appealing to me as well, cant quite put my finger on it…

Miley Cyrus

Jennifer Hawkins…aka Miss Australia. hubba hubba

@deni James Franco… mmm.

I agree with @deni and @ragingloli GA!

@augustlan That’s why I think Ford managed a minor coup in getting him as their pitchman.

But Tom Hanks is still tops.

james franco is a DREAMMMMM..

William Christopher (he played Father Mulcahy on Mash)

And as long as we’re talking about that show,

Alan Alda

I agree with @AstroChuck. GA!

@AstroChuck Noooo! You already have enough sycophants as it is without you going to the darkside too!!! Say it ain’t so!!

AstroChuck looks like the type of kid that have had his cheeks pinched alot.
(not those cheeks you sickos!)

Yet another vote for Tom Hanks. He just seems like a sincere, unpretentious, hard-working guy…

I’m thinking Alton Brown. I love his quirky obsessiveness, and he just comes across as a nice guy. I’d love to have a chat with him (maybe over an incredible meal.)

Bruce Springsteen, maybe, actually Tom Hanks and he are mates.

Jay Leno
Goerge Clooney
Dick Clark
Robin Williams
Angela Lansbury
Michelle Obama

@YARNLADY How could I forget Michelle? I loooove her!

@YARNLADY – Jay Leno? Really? He seems like such an ass to me.

and he has too many american cars in his collection.

Johnny Depp

@AstroChuck There are times in his TV interviews that I have to agree, but I have met him in person, and he seemed very kind and honest.

Also, Joaquin Phoenix seems a stand up guy! His letterman interview just made me go now there’s a guy who i could be friends with!

Sandra Bullock- if you’re ever in KY, call me up. We can hit a few bars and be dorky together. seriously, it’d be great

People who have been mentioned that I particularly agree with:
– George Clooney: He appears to be so Classic Hollywood. I’d love to find out if he really is.
– Mike Rowe: Okay, I might not be able to handle meeting him without making a fool of myself. That voice…
– Ellen DeGeneres: She’s so funny and she also seems so genuinely kind.
– Robin Williams: Ditto what I said about Ellen. If you haven’t seen his episode of Inside the Actors Studio, I really recommend it.
– Johnny Depp: Another one that I’d like to meet based on his episode of Inside the Actors Studio. He gave the impression of being rather quiet and shy.
– George Takei: He seems like such a happy-go-lucky sort of guy. And I’d like to meet his husband, too. They’re so cute.
– Michelle Obama: I would like to hug her.

I also honestly would love to meet Paris Hilton. Her media image is so crappy but… Okay, she was in Repo! The Genetic Opera, which I love. When I got the DVD I listened to the commentary track. And some of the stuff people who’ve worked with her said about her made me really curious about what it would be like to talk to her for real, away from the media.

In the same (gaaaaay!) vein as George Takei, I think Ian McKellen would be a wonderful person to be friends with because he seems like he’s such a happy fag. (I use that term lovingly. faggy = flamboyant but not queeny) I want to go to protests and marches with him.

I would love to have a heart-to-heart with Hugh Laurie. And ditto on Stephen Fry. Though not at the same time. Then I’d probably bust a gut laughing instead of getting to talk about anything serious. But Hugh Laurie has said some things about his life and about depression that make me really curious to pick his brain. He seems very quiet and humble behind the self-depreciating British humor. And Stephen Fry just cares about so many things… I love being around people who love things. It makes me happy.

Betty White. If you don’t want to meet Betty White, I don’t know if I can be your friend. She’s awesome. The sweet face/sharp tongue combination is the best.

I can attest to the fact that Neil Gaiman is genuinely likeable. If you read his blog or follow him on Twitter… he really is just the same in person. He’s quite soft-spoken and subtlely funny and he is genuinely appreciative of his fans. He doesn’t give off that sense of superiority and entitlement that I’ve seen so many authors have. (I’ve also experienced Terry Pratchett and Stephen King consistently not being assy. And I don’t think George R.R. Martin could be assy even if he made an effort.)

I’ve also heard that, despite being a totally shit comedian, Larry the Cable Guy is extremely nice.

Based on their twitters and blogs, Neil Patrick Harris and Wil Wheaton Wil Wheaton sounds like your every day basic uber-geek, the kind of guy I went to college with. NPH seems like just a happy person who loves what he does and likes having fun.

George Clooney, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins for their political commitment. Oh – and George Clooney for his looks, too.

Rachel Ray is as down to earth as you can get. We met in a bar a few years ago, struck up a conversation and have remained in contact since then. Plus she is smoking hot in real life, but in a regular kind of way…

Speaking of Rachel… I’d love to meet Paula Deen!

Adam Sandler
Christopher Walken
And he might be a little on the pretentious side but I would have to say Bono

@rangerr…I’d love to meet Paula Deen!

Slather yourself in BUTTER…She’ll find you!

@FishGutsDale- Yay for the hubba hubba, booooo for the response! Beyonce (after getting that little girl up on stage who had cancer)

I have a feeling Willie Nelson is a very likable in person. He seems genuinely nice. always a grin on his face ;)

I also agree with Jon Stewart. Another late night host that I think would be friendly is Conan O’Brien. I’d love to hang out with him.

i agree about jay leno.

Sergey Brin.

Matt Browne

@AstroChuck lol4r

Michael Palin, hands down. He is very nice and down to earth.

@aprilsimnel- Have you read Hemingway’s Chair?

Yup! I own my own copy.

Tinyfaery and Facade.

Tink.

I always thought Cameron Diaz would be a fun person to meet. She’s seems very down to earth and always looks like she’s having a good time. I love John Cusack and I think his sister, Joan, is hilarious too. I would love to meet Paula Deen so she could make me something delicious. I’ve been to her restaurant in Savannah and it was heavenly. I also always wanted to meet Christopher Walken in hopes that I could get him to say googly eyes, lol.

Don Cheadle is another star that gives off that vibe. As does Anderson Cooper.

If we could get all these folks in a room with all the jellies, we’d have one hell of an awesome party.

Auggie, we wouldn’t need all of them to have an awesome party. I think we jellies could all have a good time on our own.

Well that’s a given!

@Courtybean hahaha thought you’d like it!

How could I forget Ellen? I have a mild obsession with her because she is so nice!!

Jay Leno and Neil Patrick Harris are definitely way up there for me, too.

Meryl Streep

Tom Hanks
