Neil Delemare, rude rude rude!

Even onlookers couldn't believe it! The chant "who are ya, who are ya" was shouted after him!!!

A friend was on a night out with ND and found him incredibly rude. Hates not being the centre of attention and would make snide remarks at any other guys in the group who made jokes. Second hand story so perhaps take with a pinch of salt.

Fionn Regan. Was doing a private show and was very difficult to deal with. Refused to cooperate and was sullen and obnoxious the entire time. The venue could only cater for acoustic gigs due to it being a day time show but he showed up with a full electric set up and drums despite knowing this. His way or the highway. Wanna talk to someone about it? My manager is over there.

Gemma Hayes and Josh Ritter could not have been nicer. Both very happy to chat and sign albums for people. Very appreciative of any help they were offered and were all round friendly people. Particularly impressed with Ritter as he had just gone through a nightmare journey to get to Dublin during the ash cloud fiasco. It was a private show that was early in the day ahead of his main show in Grand Canal Theatre and he could easily have cancelled as he had very little sleep in the past 24 hours. Was more than happy to proceed and was completely chilled out and happy to have some banter with those who spoke to him. Extremely polite man.

And the Oscar for the most obnoxious celeb goes too... not Peter O' Toole

You should mention the fact he holds the records for the most oscar nominations without a win, that might have made him even nicer! But yea, he wasn't particularly pleasant when i met him.

This isn't 'rudest celeb' in the typical sense but my sister was in Mary I uni with daithi o se she said he had the filthiest dirtiest mind and talked bout nothing but sex. She also said he absolutely reeked, though I assume now he's 'famous' he can afford soap!

I find it hard to believe. Lemmy is renowned for being one of the most approachable people around and will sit and chat, take a picture, have a pint with anyone who asks. I know loads of people who have met him and they cannot speak highly enough of the man.

I have met Josh on a number of occasions and a nicer bloke you could not wish to meet. Last time was at his recent gig in Vicar Street. He had a meet and greet after the show, where everybody in the audience was welcome and he left the place at 3AM! As for Gemma Hayes, I haven't had the pleasure yet, although one of my mates has, and he hasn't been the same since. Luckily, his better half understands.

I'm from a small town in North Wales called Llandudno, same place as Lemmy lived for a while in his youngers days.

About 10yrs ago went to see Motorhead at The Academy in Manchester, asked fro the tour manager and explained we were from same town that Lemmy grew up in and any chance of a word, he said he'd ask Lemmy and for us to go to the bar.

We'd been in the bar less than 5 mins when he came up and escorted us to Lemmy's dressing room, never have i met a nicer guy (Well, Maybe Dave Grohl). Chatted away for 20 mins or so.

Also met him when he played a festical here at the RDS about 8 yrs ago, i was roadie for one of the support bands (Breed 77) and had a good chat with him then, was a mates birthday and i took a card in to ask if Lemmy could sign it to him, he wrote To Dave from Colwyn Bay, Happy Birthday from Lemmy from Colwyn fcuking Bay.

So sorry, will not believe anybody who says that Lemmy is a twat

DebDynamite · 29-04-2011 8:53pm

Derek Mooney...complete and utter diva. What annoys me is that he acts so nice on TV, like butter wouldn't melt. Cnut.

I have heard a few people complain about how they were treated by Lemmy but I've never believed a word of it. The man has always came across as being a genuinely decent bloke who resects his fans. If anyone doubts this then I recommend a viewing of the documentary Lemmy in which the man comes across as being a true gent who will sit with any fan and gladly share a pint or three.

generalmental · 30-04-2011 2:45pm

i have met one or two in the past, for me its a toss up between joeeeeee dufffffffffyyyyy and alex sarpanos from franz ferdinand. but if you had a gun to my head i would say joe duffy, was working at an event and there was a charge of €10 and he didnt want to pay it just went on ranting about the price and how expensive it was, just stopped short of saying "Do you know who i am" complete penis

Cant remember his name so not really a celebrity but he used to sing aon focal eile. my little brother had a little scrap of paper and asked him for an autograph. he asked if he had got it out of the toilet and wouldn't sign it, not nice

In fairness, he was in the middle of a competition. Tunnel vision.

Yea, I'd expect as much. He's good of a Saturday night though.

The fool barged into me at the ploughing championships one year and shouted 'come up out of the way will ya'. Bit of a Hayseed with notions of himself id say.

Fuinseog · 06-05-2011 8:20am

Drico is supposed to be rude. Friends were in Kielys a while back after a match and asked him nicely if he would step into the photo and his response was less than cordial. it would appear he does not always have time for his fans.

hes nervous of a Saturday night and the best way to overcome that is to belittle his guests.

I was gonna say Twink, but that assumes that she actually is a celeb either way she was pig ignorant any time I did meet her (also not the bightest).

Also met Shane Horgan, very ignorant guy (especially compared to any other members if the Irish team I've met).

Haha, oh Brian. I read an article where Amy was saying that they were trying to keep their invitation to the wedding low key, because they didn't want it to seem like they were showing off that they were invited. Yeah right! It's been all over the newspapers for weeks.

But - back to topic - rude celebs. Haven't really encountered any.

I think this whole thread goes to show that everyone is human and has good and bad days. Just because someone is famous doesnt make them public property.

for many these people are role models and when in public they have certain responsibilities.

True, they want their peace and quiet, but they also enjoy basking in the limelight when it suits and the media attention they have courted has been largely beneficial for them.

Patrick Bergin.

Here he is in his younger days

Most famous for Sleeping with the Enemy with Julia Roberts or that Harrison Ford film, Patriot Games

one of the more succusful actors from Ireland
And boy does he know it!

Lived in Tipperary and regularly stayed in the local hotel where I was porter.
Constant bitching to management over everything, rude to staff and fond of the "do you know who I am".
We knew exactly who he was but denied it, "sorry sir, I don't know who you are but I hope you are happy as the resident of x room. Anything I can do for you?"

I witnessed Packie Bonner been incredibly rude to a group of people who approached him for an autograph in a Dublin hotel.

Used to be in a Celtic Supporter Club and we made regular trips.
Often saw Packie in the airport as I believe he is a coach. Not sure if he still does the coaching.
He'd ignore kids who wanted autographs and was not exactly friendly to anyone who came up to say hello

In contrast, Mick McCarthy, total legend. Saw him a few times and he'd see our colours and chat away with us as a former Celtic player. He's answer anything and this was back when he Ireland manager. Took photos with us. Lovely genuine guy and I've been rooting for him and his current club since

....was in a restaurant in a hotel last year in dublin the day after going to a Bruce Springsteen gig. My other half spots Bono sitting with someone at a table behind us. I had my back to them. OH wanted to go over and ask Bono for an autograph. I was mortified and was saying there's no way, and not to go up to him in a restaurant etc etc.

Anyway when Bono left the table to go to the bathroom, up she walks to his friend and asks if he thought Bono would mind signing an autograph. Friend says he didnt think he'd mind. OH comes back to the table and we continue eating.

5 mins later Bono comes over, signs autographs, has pictures taken and chats away for a few minutes. We say thanks a lot and continue eating. Laters when we are leaving the hotel, bono and his friend are leaving too. Outside were a bunch of screaming fans shouting "Hey Bruce" and the like to Bono's friend.

First time I've ever known her to not be able to say a word! My excuse was that I had my back to them and didnt see him. She had no excuse being a huge Bruce fan! Both very nice as it turned out.

That story has been repeated so many times it's an urban legend at this stage

Rudest celeb you've met?
