Dave Grohl (Nirvana, Foo Fighters) seems like a really nice human. I loved his book.
Michael J. Fox

I like really positive celebrities that seem to enjoy life. That includes The Rock and Jason Momoa (I follow them on IG). I also like those who can laugh at themselves. I like John Cena.
I'm alone on this board in loving Beyonce, but, I really like her even more after watching a documentary about her that she participated in. It made her very human as she covered her career, her pregnancy loss, and what drives her. There are many!
Katy Perry seems like such fun. I love Emilia Clarke, she's adorable.
J Lo seems very unlikable and bitchy BUT I have always admired her personal style and I don't care if she's a bitch, she's a FABULOUS bitch.
I really like Justin Timberlake but I'm disappointed in his DUI.
Other favorite celebrities are probably too numerous to mention, but I can't leave out my lifelong love of Dolly Parton and Muhammad Ali!

I love Gene Wilder. He's so creative and a very compassionate person.
I like Henry Winkler. He's very humble and apparently when you meet him he loves to share stories about his grandkids.
A celebrity that I really liked was Jan Murray, the comedienne from way back when. I met him one Christmas eve at a restaurant. I was a kid and walked up to him to get his autograph. He insisted upon meeting my family and made me walk him over to introduce him. He was a sweet man, introduced us to his wife and gave me a kiss on the cheek.
I've met a lot of celebrities, but that stands out in my mind.

Mandy Patinkin Audra McDonald Holland Taylor I will never forgive Barbra Streisand for not letting Mandy Patinkin sing in Yentyl. His voice is beautiful and she was an idiot.

Three pop into my mind.
Jennifer Garner...she seems just so down to earth and she does these funny reels called her pretend cooking show. So fun and she just loves Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa!!
Anne Hathaway...I just loved her in The Intern with Robert DeNiro. Such a sweet, sweet movie.
Taylor Swift...Love her or not she is a great performer and business woman. She is hardworking and just so creative!

Mandy Patinkin Audra McDonald Holland Taylor I will never forgive Barbra Streisand for not letting Mandy Patinkin sing in Yentyl. His voice is beautiful and she was an idiot. It is so infuriating. I never got to go to the East Coast until I moved there for college, and one of my first personal projects was to get to NYC to see a show. My very first was the Secret Garden, and, seriously, seeing him in that made me a fan for life (I mostly knew him from wearing out my Evita broadway cast record recording). I didn’t know who he was when I saw Yentyl as a kid, but, in retrospect, I bet she was threatened by how good he would be. While we are at it, add Patti Lupone and Rita Moreno to my list .

I have two. Tom Hanks and Ryan Reynolds. I love their humor. I really respect how devoted they are to their wives and children. Being a strong family man in show business seems to be very rare, unfortunately. But these two are so obviously still very much in love with their families. I love that about them. And Ryan still has that boyish charm that is so adorable.

This might seem like an odd one at this point, but I decided that I’d love Timothee Chalamet for life after he made a surprise visit with high school theater kids in rural Minnesota when he was doing research for his Bob Dylan role. He showed up at the end of their dress rehearsal for their one act play competition.

Tom Selleck
His memoir was kind of meh. Still, glad I read it because it was him.

Not a huge Tom Selleck fan, but I loved him during his Magnum days. A funny picture I saw in a magazine once: a Selleck family portrait, taken after he was famous, the kind you’d have taken at a shopping mall portrait studio. Two aging parents, three normal-looking siblings, and the god that was Tom Selleck. He looked so blazingly out of place in a regular family.

Mine are culinary related.
I really love Ina Garten and would love to have dinner with her and Jeffrey.
I also like Bobby Flay and Alex Guarnascheli who people either love or hate it seems.

Jimmy Barnes, who is the lead singer from my favourite band in the 80s was a hard drinking drug taking rock star who is probably lucky to have survived that era! These days he is always posting about how much he loves his wife and family, shows the meals he is cooking and the flowers he is planting, his grandkids when they visit etc etc. What a change in lifestyle! I adore him. The band is doing a reunion tour in November, I can't wait!
Some others that have already been mentioned: Dolly Parton, Tom Hanks, Henry Winkler, Ryan Reynolds, Nicola Walker, Dave Grohl
Some others: Asher Keddie, Rebecca Gibney, Jodie Whittaker, Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, Morgan Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Samuel Johnson, Isla Fisher, Jodie Foster, David Attenborough, David Tennant.
I'm sure I've forgotten tons!
