Rudest celeb you've met?

minikin · 14-01-2020 12:59pm

David O'Doherty is a major league Ahole...
met him in L.A. recently and he totally blanked me.
All I asked was "any chance of playing a tune on yer wee keyboard Dave?" and he acted like I was a madman...

"I'm not David"
"yes, you are, ya big funny man ya"
"Sorry, I'm really not David"
"Get out of that, get yer casio out, mhon the dod!"
"I'm not....." and he just went back to eating his dinner with his fancy lady friend...

Very rude... F you and the racer ya rode in on o'doherty.

Karen Brady lives up to her TV reputation. Arrived at a high profile hotel as an unannounced guest speaker at a function, had all manner of complaints about her room (the vast majority of which, when checked the next day turned out to be complete fabrication), rang down at like 7am to complain, accosted the phone attendant for not referring to her as "Baroness" Brady and then on check out when asked if she'd like to discuss the issues of her stay with a manager again went off on a rant about how she should be referred to as baroness "a title given to me by, you know, THE QUEEN(!)." Sometimes celebrities aren't what they seem, I'm glad to say that Brady is exactly what she seems and more.

Didn't know she was a baroness.

What she get that for,showing of her t&ts on her porn peddling bosses stable of magazines?

I heard the same about Cilla Black

She was notorious for her rudeness and diva like behaviour when flying. Airline staff hated her.

Sol (judas) Campbell - gobsh1te, even before he joined 'them'.

Damon Hill - met him after Monaco GP at the airport, at a check in desk by himself, no one around. I was walked aver , and said "Hi Damon, could you sign this programme for me please" ..
"Jesus, you do know that everyone else will come over now"..

And I was happy when lots of people then followed me !!

Dumbass.

The opposite:
Rio Ferdinand walked past me while I waited for the Mrs while she was in a shop in the same airport. I said to her "Rio Ferdinand just walked past" … "OHH where did he go", and off she went. Came back 10 mins later, said he was so nice. his mate took photos , and he gave her a hug and an autograph..

I was given tickets for the Blizzards a few years ago. Wasn't really into them but the tickets were a gift and I wasn't going to waste them. Went along anyway and didn't think that much of their first few opening songs. Hadn't much energy, weren't really engaging the crowd, etc. but figured, hey, maybe they'll pick up.

Then Bressie starts saying that they'll be filming the band and crowd during the next song for an upcoming music video, so everyone get energetic, woo! But their performance wasn't that great and people obviously weren't getting energetic enough, because next thing he was like "Come on ta fcuk and clap, will yis?"

Thought it was really rude. We left after that.

“Cmon ta fcuk ”
That’s brilliant

Yeah, that whole post was a joke...
[Though I did exchange nods with Chris O'Dowd, whilst boarding a flight from LAX in December - very decent bloke.]

I am always curious why members of the public think it is perfectly acceptable to approach 'celebrities' uninvited and expect the celebrity to drop what they are doing and engage in meaningless drivel for a few minutes. Of course then get all indignant when the said celebrity is not that interested in speaking to you.

Personally I think it makes you look like a right dickhead.

Exactly what Ive been thinking while reading this thread. 'I walk over and say hello and they are just a bit cold and turn back to the person they were talking to after a couple of minutes, what a dick'

In other words you interrupted a conversation between 2 people to start some inane chat with someone who knows nothing about you, doesnt want to and who probably gets that same inconsiderate crap 20 times a day, every day. The fact that you got the couple of minutes is a testament to their self control .

They owe you nothing. Leave them alone.

Met Ray Park ( Aka Darth Maul ) at a convention in 2005.Really nice guy and made time for everyone having a good chat to each fan that got an autograph from him.

Met Brendan Bowyer at a charity gala in Vegas.
He was surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny.

Dr. Steve Brule · 31-05-2020 1:52pm

Sat across from Tyrese Gibson (the fast and the furious) on a flight from Heathrow to Mumbai last March.

He seemed nice and approachable on the flight, signing autographs for the flight attendants.

Waited until we arrived in Mumbai and asked him for a photo as we disembarked. Didn't want to bother him but I thought what the hell, no one else was at him. So I politely said "Sorry, Tyrese". He turned around, looking really not too pleased. "Any chance of a pic?"

"Not here man" was the response. Cheeky enough from me to ask & I didn't blame him after a 9 hour flight. Was cool to have met him though.

Met (well encountered) Bill Clinton. Sound man. Made you feel like you were the only person that mattered to him at that moment. I was with a few others at the time and they all thought he gave them all individual attention. Impressive skill, considering the encounter was less than 10secs for all of us!

Probably posted this already on this thread, but Shane McGowan robbed a smokie bacon burger off me, the pr1ck..

That had to be when he was shooting Strength And Honor. A friend was an extra in that and he said Michael Madsen was sound, posed for pictures and chatted with everyone. He said Patrick Bergin was the total opposite, blanked everyone.

Patrick Bergin used to live in North Tipp and would often be in the hotel where I worked.

Entitled notions, just looved to complain over everything. He would demand money off bills and management would always agree.

Nobody in the staff had anything good to say about him

How often does he eat Solid Food ?

You should be proclaiming yourself a Hero for getting Some Solids down Shane McGowan. You may be partly Responsible for One of his Hits !

Surely that was worth one measly Smokie Bacon Burger. Some People have to make real sacrifices for Art :eek::eek:;);)

Was he anything to do with the Bergins in Urlingford? I remember there was a shop I used to deliver to there.

His brother Emmet was a known Dick too.

I witnessed Brush Shields being nasty to a woman one time in fairness he was fairly pissed off with everyone wanting him to stand for a photo. Funny though as he was f big and blinding to himself.

They have a less well known brother who is a gas engineer in Kerry. Might have retired as this stage.

Always hear good stuff about Aidan Turner. Sound guy. Great actor.

This makes for an interesting read.The amount of times Cilla Black turns up is unreal,she sounds like an utterly vile person.Bob Geldof gets a few unflattering mentions as well.

Thanks. I've been meaning to find this thread again. I remember a forum about Cilla Black's rudeness doing the round in our office years ago. As far as I remember, Robson Green was another of those who got a lot of negative mentions too.

Justin Timberlake - Really nice guy. Spent a full evening and night out with him. Totally normal. His mam was also with us. She's really nice. His mate at the time (Andy?), was a dope.

Westlife - All were rude. No time for anybody

Will.I.Am - Lunatic. Nice guy but means business.spent a few hours with him.

Dave Grohl - Nice guy, you can see that he is used to it. You can also see he'd rather not do it at times, but understands the needs! Had good chats with him over a day.

Van Morrison - Spent the day. Entitled knob.

Bono - Actually a really nice guy. Different version of him in interviews. I was in his house and made me feel very welcomed. Loves his fried egg sandwiches!

Yester · 06-07-2020 1:07pm

I didn't meet him but Gerry Adams made me half an hour late one time as I was stuck behind him trying to leave a Car park in Dublin. He was arguing with the attendant over whether or not he had paid for parking. A sizable queue built up but no one was inclined to complain. After half an hour Gerry won the argument and we all went on our way.

lalababa · 06-07-2020 1:24pm

It really is amazing that people expect famous people to drop what they are doing and entertain a complete stranger and listen to their **** and sign and photo. If they did that for everyone they wouldn't leave the carpark. Tis no wonder they have drug problems and become recluses.
Now on the other hand if you need to have a genuine interaction such as providing a service and they treated you poorly....ok. That's fair enough.
