Following BlueAndTrue's thread about John Cleese endorsing Rupert Lowe after being an all time comedy great, I thought "How about a thread on "celebrities and famous people" that you thought were great/inspirational/etc only to be disappointed and find out they a c#@t!

Some poor unsuspecting kid actually wrote into Jim'll Fix it asking if he would fix it for him to meet Gary Glitter.

I guess some 'fixes' were more difficult than others to arrange. Shouldn't think that one took too much effort.

Don't know about previous knowledge thinking a person great, but in 16 years working for "London's Premier Chauffeur Company" there are many celebrities encountered, many first hand others by reputation from 3 or more sources

1st hand
The Branson family - great, the nicest / richest people you are likely to meet
Clarkson - bit of a snob "my main job is as a journalist for the times", but overall ok in a master / servant way
Yusef Islam (aka Cat Stevens) really nice man
Nick Moran - tried to blag a car (fair play used to do that in Bogota)
A famous German show jumper bounced their excess mileage cheque on me (we used to get charged for this!)
Prince Naseem Hamed - charming, cheeky and had put on a bit of timber by then
Chris Evans & Billie Piper were very courteous despite going thru their break up

2nd hand
Obama entourage nice
4547 entourage, not nice
Sol Campbell miserable
Jay Kay nasty pos
Mel Brooks - dangerous, constant wise cracking, drivers in tears of laughter
Sean Bean - miserable
Michael Schumacher was always kind to his drivers (can you imagine driving him!)
Pierce Btosnan quiet & polite
Ainsley Harriet miserable
Will Smith really nice, understood the need to keep up hus public persona
Matthew Pinsent an absolute gentleman
Christopher Lee anothrr one who was quiet & polite
Vanessa Mae absolutely loved by the drivers
Katie "Jordan" Price always nice & polite
Lee Majors another one like Mel Brooks, witty, friendly & a pleasure to serve
Michelle Rodriguez very nice & polite
Shane Warne ********

About all I can remember right now

Absolutely bottom of the pile - Jay Kay, utterly vile man, allegedly

ITFC_Forever

My brother was a lighting engineer for some of the biggest tours of ten years ago before he got ill and it claimed him.

So second-hand from him:

The Take That lads: all very nice, friendly etc, especially Mark
Lady Gaga: Quiet, but pleasant and polite. Big entourage.
Mark King (Level 42); Top bloke, arranged a collection for my brother when he got ill (he was working for them at the time).
Beverly Knight: Nice.
Noel Gallagher: Had a good laugh with him.
Robbie Savage: Nicest guy to the crew my brother ever met, which really annoyed him as he hates RS as a footballer.
Tina O’Brien: Very flirty.
Holly Willoughby: Exactly as you’d expect,
Rolling Stones: Also nice, Bill Wyman (I
think) gave him a model pirate from some film he was in at the time
Madonna: awful.

One of his favourite gigs he did regularly was entertaining the troops abroad, towards the end of a tour of duty, those in UK bases abroad would get a comedian, band and a “forces sweetheart” visit them, and they needed lighting and sound engineers to go with them.
For the forces lads, it was usually the highlight after being away from home for months, so they would be on their best behaviour on the lead up to it to make sure they weren’t banned.

The visiting entertainers and crew would be treated to food and drink in the Officer’s Mess, then after the gig, the lads would take them out in town / their bar, and also take them up in jet fighters, show the local sights (eg penguins in the Falklands (etc).

He loved doing those forces shows.

FBI

From personal experience Johnny Ball, as mentioned in another thread: "Do you know who I am?"

David Quantick: Patronising, egotistical pr!ck with all the self awareness of ...well... nobody good.

All the members of Echo & The Bunnymen except Will Sargeant, who was wonderful, as was Miles Hunt of the Wonder Stuff. Oh, and Ted McKenna of SAHB, MSG etc. Great story about him when he lived in Glemsford, but not for here.

On the other hand, Bonnie Langford c.1990 was a delight. Charming, funny, friendly and, weirdly (just cos it was so unexpected) exuding more s£x appeal than absolutely any woman (The current Mrs FBI excepted, obs ;-) ) I've ever met. Absololutely had six blokes, all cynical record shop types, drooling.

My one and only celebrity contact.
The gods have declared me unworthy and to live forever amongst the unwashed.
We were at a stock car meeting. No, not a figure of eight where they all smash into each other. They roar round a small track with modified cars. None of them were street legal, no windscreens, no headlights, no glass on the car at all.
At the end we couldn't get the Escort Mk2 started. This short middle-aged guy came up and laughed and said it's a pile of junk but hang on 'cos he knows a guy. His friend came and said 'Nick says you've got a problem'. He hit the engine with a hammer. It started.
That 'Nick' was Nick Mason the Pink Floyd drummer.

Not that this has any baring on him as person but the security guard at my old office was in the Army and Clarkson came to shoot something for what must have been top gear at the base, said the shelf on the drivers side door was just lined with layers of cigarettes, out of the packet, just stacked one on top of the other in rows.

No idea if actually true

Re Savile My friends brother won a competition as a kid and the "prize" was dinner for the whole family with him. He was incredibly lecherous towards her mum the whole time. Gave of pervy vibes throughout.

Friend of mine came across Chris Tarrant many years ago, he was apparently a letch and quite unpleasant, whereas Noel Edmonds was nice nad bought everybody drinks.

I met a load of famous people while working at Glastonbury. Unfortunately, I often failed to recognise them (Jarvis Cocker was a bit huffy about that). Most were nice. Florence (of ... and the Machine) is particularly lovely. Billie Piper and John Bishop were a bit arsey (tho I didn't know who they were until someone pointed it out after). Helped push Ms Dynamite's car out of the mud (she'd parked in the wrong place for the dance tent). I must have encountered Coldplay, but have absolutely no memory of them whatsoever.

There’s a great twitter post/thread about her refusing to move from a table in a cafe that had been reserved. She came across as a grade A c** I’m not on that hell-site any more or I’d dig it out

The Twitter artist Coldwar Steve made a meme out of her sitting at that table. Her image used to appear in his works as a kind of 'where's Wally'.

Pre-nazi Twitter was good.

Also had a phase where he would have a sleepy/drunk Alan Brazil in a lot of pictures.

Yep, incredibly disappointing to see him not only lie about inviting a quasi fascist to lunch, but then to give a textbook non apology too- unforgivable.

He’s incredibly lucky that this is Suffolk and a good percentage of people appear to be in favour of Farage and his quasi fascism.

Dave Bloody Lee Bloody Travis.

Even before his legal issues. A horrendous talent free vacuum who backpedalled from lauding Savile as a good friend after his death, to saying they barely knew each other at his own trial.

A right Colin Hunt from the Fast Show it seemed, brought out a really creepy book on the 90s where he had taken pictures of famous women in unusual settings (including the aforementioned Miss Langford), famously didn't own any vinyl as he had everything taped, barely any interest in the music played, threw a hissy fit on air when he resigned from Radio 1.

Just no. Looked like an overgrown topiary bush that grew a face. Snooker on the radio, my elbow. Quack quack oops off, you complete void of anything

I don't know why, but I never really felt that warm toward John Cleese and never saw the magic behind fawlty towers, so, im not shocked.

I too have met Stephen Fry and he was very nice, but someone said they had the opposite. Important to acknowledge the effects bipolar disorder can have on people and the human condition as a whole. There are days where I am nice and friendly and also days where im a c unit.
