Humble people

Humility is a rare gift that few people have. Anyone know famous humble people? How about Aiden O''Brien? Racehorse trainer extraordinaire. When he's interviewed after winning the Derby for example, he seems grateful to be asked about it in the first place.
Michael Fassbender? Don't know much about him but he seems somewhat humble. Anyone else?

There's nothing more tedious and boring to listen to than false humility from sportspeople, there is a happy medium between it and being like Conor McGregor.

I remember I had an excellent teacher in secondary school who died 3-4 years in to his retirement. He was a humble, gentle man and in the memorial piece of the school yearbook they included a quote from Othello:

I have done the state some service, and they know it. No more of that.

Such a fitting quote for a person who never sought out recognition or praise.

I'm humble. Not that I'm bragging about it, because I'm humble. But am I not great because I'm humble?

I think in Ireland everyone is considered humble who is not a pompous git with notions.

I'd prefer the term down to earth or approachable.

Keanu Reeves by all accounts is a gent.

I can't separate that quote from Charles J Haughey

Speaking from personal experience Daniel Day Lewis. Met him out on his motorbike one day in Wicklow and ended up chatting to him for the guts of 30 minutes about bikes and other stuff. Genuinely sound down to earth guy imo.

I always thought in interviews ive seen that Lemmy came across as quite humble and authentic although it seems he'd disagree but only a truly humble person would deny their humility

Wayne Rooney always very modest.

''Tis hard to be humble when you are perfect in every way.... that's what my Mammy used to sing to me when I was small.... but then I was a shiitty teen and she stopped..

Dunno why I'm perfect...

Britney Spears, a woman who is always respectful to interviewers and has glowing reviews from producers, dancers, choreographers and other colleagues. It really shows when she is unaware of statistics regarding her huge successes, figures that other stars would wilfully spout at any given moment.

Dick York who played Darrin on Bewitched. This is a terrible quality video but it's from a longer interview in which he's in agony but is more concerned about campaigning for the homeless that he is about complaining. The longer interview is on YouTube but I can't find it.

I don't think anybody is truly humble. More often than not the 'humble' person has poor self esteem or is very good at acting.
