    Anyone know of any Famous people who you would think are lovely but the total opposite is true, 2 that comes to mind would be a famous singer from donegal;) and the camp guy off Ireland AM, also a very well know person in the FAI.

    So John Delaney is a massive cnut. Roy Keane was right. Well well!

    Well I never thought he was "lovely" in the first place but I was rendered speechless by how much of a twat Ryan Tubridy is when I met him.

    what happened?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,204 ✭✭✭elfy4eva


    June Rodgers who does children's pantomime is apparently a right Cnut (wouldn't call her overly famous however).

    Tubridy strikes me as someone who would be an utter arsehole if there wasnt a camera on him.

    It was after a Leinster game and I was out in town with a few mates one Friday evening late after the match. Spirits were high but we were not obnoxious or anything, just having fun. He was at the bar as the same time as me and I said I don't want to disturb you but can I take a selfie of us on my phone with you. And he turned around to me and said "Must I? You actually are disturbing me. It's because of people like you I can't go out and enjoy a quiet drink" and I thought to myself HOW VERY DARE HE :mad:. I wasn't at all rude or anything and he was just gratuitously nasty and giving off an air of him being an A-list Sleb when in actual fact he's a Zzzzzz list pleb.

    Yeah I met him once as well, he was judging a presentation competition (was a few years ago now), he was a bit of a smart arse but in a friendly way, seemed like a nice enough guy.

    Reports vary on the singer from Donegal, to the extent its safe to say he has his bitchy days and his good days.

    if I met him in say tesco, id say sorry do you work here? its just im looking for pasta etc


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭April O Neill II


    I've never met anyone really famous but any sort of well known people I've met have been... blustery. They kinda talk through you and barely acknowledge your existence, because they don't have to, I guess. :p All the while, I'm just thinking "But you're just a human person :confused:"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭geeky

    Likewise. He came to our school for a careers talk, just as his was beginning to take off. Was genuinely nice and chatty. Maybe things have gone to his head since, but I suspect Merkin caught him on a bad night - which happens to us all.

    Why did you want a photo with him, then? Even if he was just on the margins of a selfie.

    Blatantly looking down his nose at his crappy guests. Maybe if you were a decent interviewer and your show was actually fun, you might get a higher calibre of guests, you knob. (And yes, I'm aware that it sounds like I'm looking down my nose at his guests, but I'm not interviewing them :P) And when he is lucky enough to get a good guest, the interview will be at best bland and inoffensive, and at worst awkward.

    Anyone, famous or not, who uses the phrase 'Do You Know Who I Am?', is guaranteed to be a first class knob. Most celebrities are grand though, a few that regularly get slated on here I have found to be pretty sound in reality.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    I never met anyone famous :-(

    Or as the saying goes up here, 'he's a nice enough fella, but a bit of a cnut'.

    Like every single other person on the planet, he has his good points and his bad points.

    If he is a Z list pleb why did you want a selfie with him?

    I've met him a handful of times, and he's always been lovely to me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,547 ✭✭✭Agricola


    Pint me arse. There are famous people with a much larger profile and pay cheque than Tubridy, who realize how lucky they are in life to be a position where people want to have a photo taken with them. A 10 second task. Entitled little shít with big ideas about himself.

    Well, come on, if that is happening to him any time that he goes out for a drink, then I would can see how he'd be annoyred.

    Two actors that come across as very pleasant on screen (but then again thats acting I suppose ;)) are Harrison Ford and Bruce Willis, but all reports seem to point to them being cocks of the highest order

    I'm not famous but I'd let anyone do a selfie on me any time they wanted.

    I was in a departures lounge one time and Ronan Keating was hiding behind a magazine waiting for the flight and numerous people went up to him asking could they do selfies and he very graciously obliged them all, and was super polite about it too. I did not approach for the pic myself.
