Meanest VS Nicest Celebrities 

Im gonna be honest, saying "no thank you" to a hug from a stranger and not liking paparazzis is not a crime.

Shaq doesn’t look down on people because “they’re lesser” he looks down on them cause he literally has no other choice

When I first watched this video, I genuinely was NOT expecting Bill Nye to be on the Mean Side. I loved his videos as a kid, but looking now, Bill Nye is the perfect example of, "Never meet your heroes."

Adam Sandler also loves sending Jennifer Aniston gifts on Mother’s Day because she’s unable to have children and he wants her to at least feel appreciated on Mother’s Day which I find so sweet. Adam Sandler is one of my favourite celebrities ever 💜💜

The most evil thing about this video is that James Corden wasn't mentioned once.

For Shaq to not look down on people is just physically impressive.

My husband got to hang out with Harry Styles for a couple of hours on his tour bus. Said he was the nicest guy ever. Paid for his Uber, messaged him the next day to make sure he got home okay, and even called his sister when she had her baby to tell her congrats. Truly one of the nicest people ever.

Adam Sandler pulled up to my high school a few months ago and played basketball with some of the kids, a super sweet man, took photos with all of us and had absolutely no superiority complex, he was an amazing person and remains my favorite celebrity! (He also took losing to some high school boys like a champ!)

Jerry not wanting to hug a person he doesn’t know is completely understandable. And being upset with the people shoving a camera in your face is also something understandable

Post Malone is such a G

Bill Nye isn’t even a scientist he’s an engineer

I used to be really involved in pre-show backstage photography w/ a few select artists and Post Malone was probably the nicest dude I ever came across in my short amount of time doing that. Gave me a few beers, asked me if he could pose certain funny ways, showed me where to grab a phone charger, etc. just a super humble nice guy.

Post Malone is a perfect example of "don't judge a book by it's cover". Such a humble man

I absolutely agree that Seinfeld is an AH, but him not wanting to be hugged by a rando and then not apologizing for not hugging a rando is completely valid

Seeing the Biggest Actor in Hollywood casually riding the subway is, pretty surreal or, maybe it's actually a footage from an 'alternate universe' ?! All jokes aside, watching him giving up his seat to a random, normal lady ?! WOW WOW WOW ..... John Wick is REAL and his human name is Keanu Reeves. Same thing with the movie character, he's still a humble, polite gentleman with a big Heart filled with kindness and everything good !!!

I love seeing genuinely nice people just being nice, its so heartwarming and proves that there is still people who care in this world

I believe that Sandler being a nice guy is the main reason why so many respectable celebrities agree to work on his movies. Not talking about his closest friends like Rob Schneider, David Spade, John Torturro or even Jennifer Aniston, but Al Pacino, Johnny Depp, Christopher Walken, Harvey Keitel and many more. These are not people who normally sign up for stupid comedy with low chamce of success.

Keanue Reeves is an absolute LEGEND, that is undeniable. He's given up his paycheck for other actors, stayed humble through all the years, takes public transport and helps the needy. Love him

I've been lucky enough to meet Post Malone and Keanu Reeves, and both of them are some of the most amazing people I have ever met. I ran into Post on the street in November last year before he did his concert in Sydney, we talked for about 10 minutes about music, video games and other shared interests, he even showed me a sample of a new song he was working on and asked for my opinion on it. Honestly such a fantastic humble dude. With Keanu I met him back in 2014 when me and my family took a trip around America, I was only 8 at the time and I didn't know who he was, He walked into a café that we were having lunch at and said hello in a friendly down to earth way to everyone including my parents and me. I don't remember much of the Keanu one but you can tell that he's an amazing guy.

Clint Eastwood was a very nice guy at a movie shoot. me and my brother saw a bunch of ppl celebrating his birthday, through a window of a cafeteria and he invited us in to eat cake w/ him . we sat and talked w him for a while . Hes taller then he seems on screen. Met his wife we got to talk w his daughter and run around. it was fun. They were all nice. What a fun day and such a nice guy. Thanks for posting and sharing this

Fun Fact: My grandfather thought Ellen was probably a terrible person and her whole act looked like a facade calling her "Ellen Degenerate". He passed away 3 years ago and couldn't of been more right.

The fact that Ellen Degeneres' last name is really similar to the word degenarate and she's in the list of meanest celebrities is a nice touch 💀

I am super sad. Bill Nye has my childhood. My favorite song when I was little was the Bill Nye theme. I guess this is the best example of things aren't always how they seem.

I saw post Malone in concert at the end of 2022 in Abu Dhabi and in between every song he wouldn’t stop saying thank you to the audience. Me and my mum were genuinely astonished at how humble he was

Keanu Reeves is the one human we should all strive to be like. Not governing world leaders, not history changers, just be happy as a simple man who gives back more than he has to everyone and in return is loved by everyone

I've always liked Sandler as an actor, but hearing the humble and genuinely kind guy that he is just makes me respect him even more. Loved the movies of him, and it's amazing that he acts like any other person instead of being narcissistic because he's an actor. Absolutely love that guy.

After hearing oompaville mention and praise sunnyv2 only about a million times on his channel, i had to come check it out. Great content! Got my sub 👍🏻

I appeal to The Shaq more out of most of my favorite stars of any kind, because even though his title character Kazaam is fictional, he got to pour some of his real self into his character, this really helps to show that a even a spirit-like deity like a Genie could have multiple layers that makes himself as human as any mortal, and I have also heard a little bit on live t.v. once about how charitable he was, but of course I was a teenager at the time so, I never stick around for live tv for very long. Yea, I am glad that he is one of my two favorite NBA Legends.

Can't believe you didn't mention Dave Grohl, lead singer of rock band Foo Fighters and former drummer for Nirvana. He cooked barbecues for firefighters battling the Californian wildfires, invited a blind kid up to the stage on a tour, gave his own shoe to a girl in crutches, tries his hardest to stop fights at gigs, performed in the garages of his most hardcore fans, gives lots of his money to charity, once left a 100% bar tip, and so much more, he is often referred to as the "nicest guy in rock".

Another example of a celebrity not abusing their status is David Beckham. He waited in line for an entire day just like anyone else to give his condolences to the Queen.

Steve Buscemi being a good tipper while being part of one of the most famous anti-tip memes is great

rejecting a hug from a stranger is a crime? wow

I'm with jerry on the hug. Nobody is obligated to be physically intimate with anyone, especially strangers

How does not hugging a stranger, saying no thanks to a paparazzi, and not wanting to sit next to someone being rude make you a bad person?

The way a smile always appeared on my face after I saw all the good people appear was magical

I found your channel a day ago I love it because you give credit and don't miss a thing which is hard to find these days keep up the good work

Jerry is probably one of the less mean people. He's just a normal person honestly. Not wanting to hug strangers, not liking the paparatzzi, not liking people being in private places you payed for, it seems more normal to me.

I still fail to realize how Seinfeld not hugging someone he's never met is considered rude. If he isn't comfortable with that he doesn't have to do it

I met Keanu Reeves in 1998 when he was touring with his band. I got to talk to him for about 5 minutes about what it’s like to be on the silver screen. He was so cool.

Hey man your the first RU-vidr I can sit and watch without looking at my phone once because I get bored well done keep it up 👍. can you do a video on the beef between the actor of gumball vs dream if you haven't already?

Keanu came into my place of business on a few occasions and I was taken aback by his general respectful personality. He was the customer but treated me as though I was the customer. Always "please" and "thank you" and even called me "sir". He is a pleasure to be around.

My gf in high school ran into Jerry Stiller (Ben Stillers father) in an elevator in a hospital. The guy had a huge stack of pizza boxes and told her that he likes to bring them to elderly patients. He would sit and eat and talk with all of them a couple times a week. Never forgot that, RIP.

My mom and I met Carson Kressley at a benefit for the Club Q survivors. He did a meet and greet before the show which you had to pay extra for, well my mom and I didn’t have the extra money for that so we just went to the show. Carson was sitting in the audience watching the drag show and my mom went up to him and said how much she loves him, he then proceeded to give her a big hug and pose for a couple pictures. He was so kind and took pictures with whomever asked him.

I saw Adam Sandler live this year in Portland, and his attitude was very humble and kind, acted and talked about him getting old. He also expressed how he was depressed in a joking manner early in the set, but as the show went on, the jokes and acts that he did really showed how depressed he really is BECAUSE he feels he is getting older. From joking about his grown children's friends to singing a 10 minute tribute to Chris Farley, i feel the whole performance seemed like a tribute to his entire life, like he was saying goodbye to the fans.. I just hope he is happy and remembers that he is loved by more people than he could imagine

Robert Redford should be on this list for being an absolute legend. I met while he was filming The Conspirator in my town. My mom and I were playing tennis and he showed up to play. We got off the court to make room for him and he asked us to come back and play against him. At the time, my mom and I played competitively in our area, and when he realized we were going a little easy on him, he told us to stop giving him the celeb treatment. Well long story short, we whooped his ass and as a thank you for the game, he bought us dinner and drinks, then invited us to come by the set the next day while he filmed. Was a pretty cool experience to meet an absolute legend of an actor who just wanted an honest game of tennis.

Before I saw this video, I already knew Post, Shaq, and Reeves were total sweethearts

Seinfeld not hugging Kesha being the most sad moment of her life just shows how privileged she is

Honestly Jerry refusing a hug is understandable, just because you're famous/an actor doesn't mean you want to hug anyone. If you're walking down the street and some strangers comes running to you asking for a hug I don't think you'll feel like a bad person for refusing

I think Jerry not wanting to be hugged by someone he thought was just a stranger is honestly understandable

Interesting to include Seinfeld. He declined hugging someone he didn't know (he is allowed to set his boundaries) he riffed on Larry King which was totally warranted and expected for a comic to respond that way, and was upset over a famous person acting like an ass and being upgraded.....notice it was never against the fans or public? I met him after he did 4 shows at the paramount in seattle, it was like 1am and a group had gathered to see about getting an autograph when he left. He walked out, dropped his bags, greeted everyone and just walked into the crowd (pissing off his security) and signed and talked for a good 30 minutes, made sure everyone got an autograph, said thanks everyone and took off. Dude is a class act.

I Love The Smooth Transitions Into each people

I agree with everyone on the list except for jerry Seinfeld. I went with my friends to one of his comedy shows in Toronto (I think it was there, not sure) a while back, and after his routine was over, he greeted a ton of fans and was a really nice guy. He was a bit cocky at times like with Larry king, but he had a point with Kesha. I thought it was totally weird how she did that, and I don’t blame him for not wanting to hug a stranger.

Sean Connery. In Edinburgh. Jumped the queue in a Macdonald’s. The waitress didn’t recognize him and told him to go back to the end of the line. He obliged. Later she realized who he was. She was so embarrassed. But he just smiled and apologized for jumping the queue. Telling her she was right to scold him. What a man. 😊

Why does Seinfeld sound like he's a prepubescent teen about to burst into tears while doing a shaggy impression

Nothing wrong with not hugging a stranger. I don't even like shaking the hands of people I don't know. A hug is an intimate thing to me that I only do with those closet to me. Plus there are some people who don't like to be touched, especially by someone they don't know. Some people also have Mysophobia.

It's both surprising and not surprising to learn about the true personalities of these celebrities behind the scenes. It just goes to show you should never judge a book by its cover, even if the cover is plastered all over Hollywood!

How evil Ellen DeGeneris is is beyond me.

It never ceases to amaze and disppoint me at what fame can do to a person. The true character of a person is exposed when u stop being grateful and start taking it for granted!

Post in his videos vs how he is in real life is like complete opposite 😂😂😂 just watching alot of his interactions just shows what an amazing guy he is

I remember when I was at one of Post Malone’s concerts. There was someone who passed out in the crowd and when he realized, he immediately stopped the show and told people to make way for paramedics. This was very nice to see especially since this wasn’t too long after the Travis Scott Astroworld incident. You could hear the genuine concern Post had for the guy.

I once worked with a lady who lived in the village where Wicker Man was filmed. She told me everyone from the cast and crew were very nice and respectful, with one exception - Britt Ekland. She was rude, dismissive and extremely snobby towards the locals. I have never heard this lady swear about anyone in her life, but she never hesitated in calling Ekland a bitch.

If I was a celebrity and if a fan asked me for a hug even though i'm not a hugger i'd still give the fan a hug.

My aunt played basketball with Adam Sandler and she has told me that he was extremely respectful and so kind ❤

Sandler being a decent guy just makes me so pleased, he defies the don't meet your heroes saying, he's an awesome guy to fans and great to work with and is a very good friend. The man is what we expect the standards of all our fav celebs but almost all could never possibly live up to. It's incredible he's so humble after three plus decades of fame.

Met Shaq my childhood hero at a restaurant in Newark NJ called John's place (unfortunately closed now) when I was 12. I couldn't believe it was him and I couldn't stop staring. He asked my Dad if I played basketball because I was a tall kid and I did. My father said yes, and he invited me to his summer camp. He even went to pay for our meals, but his bodyguard went to school with my Dad and his bodyguard said you don't have to pay for their meals his Dad is a lawyer. (Lmao) My Dad was pissed at this comment but didn't let it show, in the end Shaq paid for our meals and gave me his autograph. One of my greatest childhood memories thanks Shaq. R.I.P DAD

I've seen Charlie Pride in concert but never met him bc it was at a huge rodeo in Albuquerque many,many years ago. The only celebrity I've met was Tiny Tim while working at at Arby's in KY back in the late 80s,early 90s. He and his wife were at a Circus performing and I guess had a hankering foe a roast beef sandwich. Since I'm from WNY and grew up listening to that Era I knew who he was. No one else knew who he was. I asked him if he was Tiny Tim he said yes,and while waiting for his order I asked for an autograph and he obliged. Nice man

I was a Law Enforcement officer for 34 years and got to meet alot of famous people during that time. One of my all time favorite actors (as far as personality) is Corbin Bernsen from LA Law, Major League, etc.. We were filming a two hour "In the Heat of the Night" special and it had gotten quite cool as it got dark. I was shivering as Corbin, Carrol O'Connor, Hugh O'Connor and I were talking. Corbin just walked away but returned a couple minutes later with a Sparta police coat from the wardrobe trailer, handed it to me and said "dude I can't stand to see you freezing"... awesome guy. I loved working security for them.

Jerry might have a massive ego but rejecting a hug is completely fine, especially with how polite he was about it. Not everyone is fine with hugs. It's only our society that's conditioned us to assume hugs are game for everyone.

I think Shaq will always be the top of my list in role model celebrities. He was a massive bully as a kid, and was lost after he stopped basketball, but he changed to one of the nicest most humble people. It gives us hope and shows how much people can change for the better.

I like how you can just easily guess all of these. You can't hide the energy you give off

Shaq's face on the miniature got me like : ''you are my sunshine, my only sunshine'' lol

Met Craig Robinson at a random dive bar in Tokyo about 10 years ago. He was the nicest man. Not many people in Japan recognised him but we did right away. We asked him for a photo and he did with the biggest smile. Then he told us to wait and started randomly facetiming someone, prolly his missus while singing and buying us shots. What a legend.

The one story I know of Jerry Seinfeld was when he was doing a comedy show in my town. His opening act was a local magician who did a pretty killer job and mixed in some good jokes with the magic, really got the crowd going. When Jerry took the stage, his first five minutes was just ragging on magicians, saying they're creepy, terrible people, just mean stuff. Around half the audience got up and left during this tirade, and a decent chunk continued to leave during the show which he ended early. Through friends, we heard he went backstage and asked the magician what happened. The magician explained he had told his family he was opening for Jerry Seinfeld and they were so excited they bought a bunch of tickets and brought their friends and families too. Jerry yelled at the magician for not telling him how many people his opening act knew were there instead of giving any sort of apology or just acknowledging that ripping on your opening act is just a shit way to conduct yourself, especially when they do a great job and help your show nearly sell out.

10:44 when i heard this once 4 months ago i kept replaying it. i really didn't expect that

I would like to mention David Draiman of Disturbed as one of the nicest fellows, In his concerts he almost always has this "love all" speech, great guy.

i met gordan ramsay in a restaurant once he was nothing like in the shows he was kind and gave selfies to everyone in the restaurant and was a genuinely kind dude some of the workers there at his restaurant said he had a persona for tv and was an actually nice guy

My mom worked with Bill Nye before he really blew up. They took lunch at the same time and would often sit with one another in the break room. She said he was kind and obviously very nerdy. Definitely a case of the fame going to his head

5:40 I had an advert DIRECTLY AFTER he said no. IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING EVER

Posty is also a huge magic the gathering player He was featured a few times on the magic channel Game Knights

I’ve only ever met one celeb: Bryan Cranston. He showed up to an all hands meeting for my school district as a surprise and a favor to his sister who’s in leadership there. There was no fanfare and I haven’t found a single article about it, he read a passage out of his book. Afterwards he signed stuff (none of us knew he was coming, so he just signed our programs) and took pictures. I got a regular picture and then took a selfie, and he said “you kids and your selfies” in an annoyed dad voice. From that interaction, I’d say he’s alright.

Tiger woods came to a hotel I worked at for 5 years in a row for a tourney. I genuinely can’t give a 1/10th of the nice things he did for the staff. The coolest was when he gave all the restaurant staff signed memorabilia from the tourney as well as a gift card in appreciation. Truly an awesome dude

Chevy Chase really hurt considering one of my favorite movies as a kid was Christmas Vacation and he was one of my favorite actors.

Living in atlanta, meet Joe Pantoliano at the while working at ATL airport. Super nice guy. Also meet Usher and Big Boi at work, also nice guys, Usher had family down in Macon, about an hour south of where i live, so i was familiar with the area.

A guy who owned a small Italian restaurant in Boston told me about Lady Gaga. Apparently someone who worked for Gaga picked up an order for her and the team but didn't mention to the owner who it was for. Then like an hour later, Lady Gaga walks in, tells him she loved the food so much that she left her hotel just to come in and tell him personally how much she appreciated it. Then she gave every single employee a VIP ticket to her concert at the Garden. He showed me all kinds of pictures and everything. Legit true story

I met Chris Benoit once. It was a boat show in Atlanta and he arrived over an hour late due to traffic for his 2 hr time slot. His manager kept saying that they didn't have much time and just get an autograph and go. Chris turned to his manager and said "shut up, it's not their fault we're late. Anyone who wants an autograph can have one." He also wrote personal messages on them if you asked. Seemed like a real genuine guy, it was a shame what happened 6 months later.

I honestly believe more people should sit in on celebrities panels at conventions. A lot of them are just incredible people, so nice and down to earth. You realize they are just people just like you, and it's amazing to just listen to what's going on in their normal life.

I love Shaq but I did get chuckle over what he said. I added a little to it, "I don't look down on people because they're lesser. I look down on them because I'm twice as tall as they are." 😇 When Shaq played for the Cavs. His son lived in the same apartment complex as I did. I never got to meet him in person but would often see him driving his car.

In 2007, my teacher told us a story about how she met Jared Fogle. She said he was an absolute creep and a total egotistical asshole. She said she felt uncomfortable around him as he gave off "dark energy". All these years later she was absolutely correct

Jerry’s probably the most reasonable of the not so nice people covered in this. Sure, he definitely comes off as a little cold, but frankly he’s got a point in just about everything stated. He was right in the section with Larry King, he was justified in not wanting to hug a random person, famous or not, and he was absolutely right about Lady GaGa, she was behaving terribly and then to get upgraded to where he was, and having to deal with her? Everything he said in that part was entirely true.

Shaq is the personification of a gentle giant ❤

I want to add one more to this list Mathew lillard, he’s a genuinely nice guy who adores his fans and enjoys meeting them, was in line to get an autograph from him at an expo and he wandered into the lineup because he saw a small child and he brought that little kid to the front of the line to make sure that kid got a picture, he was also giving everyone high fives and hugs and was on the same side of the table as the fans were kinda suggesting that he wasn’t any better then the rest of us. Really nice guy super friendly a memory I honestly can’t forget

Shaq opened up a business in the Dallas/Fort Worth area a few years ago when I lived in the area and the news was flooded with nice stories about him. He would go to places like Home Depot and when he saw families buying appliances like fridges or washer/dryer sets, he would step in and pay for the entire bill. Really awesome guy.

Kesha's "saddest moment of her life" is not getting hugged by Jerry Seinfeld... What a life to live

I'm on Seinfelds side, I'd never of hugged her either. Kids say no to strangers

Shaq’s Real life character arc is honestly was very nice to hear about. You don’t hear too many stories about including celebrities, who realize like they’re being an asshole and then actually change into being better people. usually they just are nice people by default or they’re just always assholes..

One of the nicest people I ever met was the late great Jason David Frank, The original Green Power Ranger. He ran out of photos to sign so he gave me a mint in box original Dragonzord toy from the 90s and signed it for me for free. After the show he sat and ate with my friend and I for an hour talking about Martial Arts, Music, tales from the set, comic books, ect. I had to close my shop for an hour when I heard the news because I was crying so much. Rest in Power, Tommy! Once a Ranger, Always a ranger!

The hug rejection was more of a reality check to Kesha which she lacks a lot considering she described it as the Saddest moment of her life. Imagine how privileged she is.

Watching the training videos for John Wick 3, Keanu was extremely humble. Dude had cut his hand open sometime before training, and still performed well stating, "I had a bit of a stumble, I could've done better." His work ethic is incredible and he has nothing but respect for his craft.

What a shame and a surprise about Mike meyers. 😢 the people who get punished for eye contact or talking are the worst celebs!
