Rudest celeb you've met?

bamboozle · 18-11-2009 5:09pm

Anthony Foley, ROG and Stephen Keogh of Munster.

Brent Pope and George Hook met them in New Zealand and they were nice, both do a lot of charity work around Dublin.

Never met Twink but i'd say if i did she'd be a b1tch!

Really? I've met Robb backstage at festivals a few times and he's always been cool, this is MH Robb Flynn you're on about??

This was circa 94. Maybe he's mellowed a bit since?

Kian Egan is the worst most obnoxious scumbag imaginable. He once kicked a production assistant at UTV in the small of her back rather then ask her to be quiet while he was on the phone. She was encouraged to call security on the ugly horrible little bastard but was in to much shock to deal with it.
The rest of the band were also horrified. Mark Feehily seemed really decent.

Bono- obviously got a messiah complex but was quite thoughtful in accommodating me and my broken leg when I met him once.

Ray D'arcy- Really sound, seems a bit weak though, I think his Mrs bosses him around.
Grainne Seoige - Very nice friendly and down to earth.
Albert Reynolds- Gent! Nicest man ever.

Must defend Miriam O'Callaghan, from an earlier posting, both she and her husband are the nicest people in the Irish media

Mary McAleese- Couldn't be nicer

Jamie MaGuire from Shameless- Absolute gent, great guy

I've met a few more but nobody stands out as an absolute wanker except that Sligo scumbag at the top.

I used to work in a restaurant in Sligo when I was a young student, and Westlife were at the height of their fame. There was a million stories going around about how Kian was an unbelievable wanker but I had yet to see it for myself....
So one day he comes in to the restaurant with a massive dude all in black which I presume is his bodyguard (just for going around Sligo like!).
They come up to the counter, I can barely see the top of Kian's head, he's such a short a*se, but I lean over anyway and ask him what he wants.
He looks at me, glares, and looks away, in a 'don't talk to me' manner. The bodyguard answers for him and tells me what Kian wants!! Kian says nothing the whole time he's there only glaring at anyone who might be looking at him.
What a wanker!!!

Chris O'Donnell...cheap cnut!

Wayne Gretzky - never forking happy....

Billy Joel - I did smack his car with a work van

Chris Farley - legend of a man...and great craic!

NikkiXxX · 19-11-2009 3:39pm

Seems like Kian egan is an absolute p***k, Everyone hates him..Makes me not ever want to meet him.:mad:

Hi all,
The few I've met and actually spoken to have been fine as long as you just do your job and not get all goo-eyed.I reckon the best thing to do is not be all starry-eyed in their presence and, in the quiet times, they'll hang loose and be good crack.

Bodysmart · 06-12-2009 1:59am

I trained Bobby Kerr from Dragon's Den at BodySmart a few weeks ago. Really lovely guy - no ego whatsover.

I've met Twink a few times and she's great fun. I can see how she pisses people off though - one of those people you either love or hate.

Met Eric Sardinas after he supported Steve Vai at Vicar Street. Fantastic guy - a true gent.

Wasn't it the craic that killed Chris Farley??? Very sad, he was so funny

dublin 16 lad · 20-12-2009 8:22pm

Ken Doherty is an absolute gent. One of the nicest people I've met in my life. He actually approached me in Jasons snooker club a few years ago and gave me pointers and then asked if I wanted a frame against him

He whooped me though:D

Had dinner wit Niall quinn last year in the Sunderland executive box. he was really nice.
Bobby Robson was there too. sound out.
Emile Heskey too was friendly when i met him as was john carew- wat a hottie!!!:)

Bodhisopha · 29-12-2009 9:35pm

I don't approach celebrities. If anything they should be approaching me.

That said, i've seen Gabriel Byrne, the actor, being an absolute gent to those that approached him on a train, signing stuff, chatting etc..

I've also seen Packie Bonner being a rude prick and Dara O'Brian sporting a very angry, don't approach me face.

Emm511 · 30-12-2009 10:37pm

Brian o' Driscoll- jumped up ****
Brian Ormand- absolutuly hate this man so rude and arrogant
Andrea Roche- I seen her hit a member of staff in a club
Louis Walsh- really nice man along with the rest of the weslife lads besides Kian Egan
Rosanna Daviason and her twat of a boyfriend Wesley Quirke he will do anything for a free drink and thinks he deserves one everywere he goes and she just insults people to there faces

Sabbath Lily · 10-01-2010 2:14am

A friend of mine had an encounter with Rosanna and her boyfriend - she had nothing bad to say about Rosanna, but the boyfriend was an arrogant, jumped-up little **** apparently. (Stealing Emm511's phrase, but damn it, it's a good one!)

I know some people can be a bit snotty about Gráinne Seoige, but she was utterly lovely to me in a scenario where she had absolutely no need to notice me.

I worked in a clothes shop in Dublin a few years ago, when a then prominent Fair City actress came into the dressing rooms, and was horribly dismissive of all the staff there. She just flung her clothes in my direction when she was finished, without a word or a look. This isn't that common, especially as the store attracts an older clientele. I was pretty disgusted. Karma must have struck though, because her character was written out and she hasn't been back since

robdig · 12-01-2010 4:16am

gary cooke and risteard cooper from apres match complete d**kheads wouldnt even sign an autograph i suppose there not real celebs:P:P

chocgirl · 12-01-2010 10:21pm

Linda Martin (Eurovision) is not nice in any way, completely stuck up nasty piece of work.

To balance it out Mary Coughlan was absolutely lovely, so down to earth, I know she's not exactly a celeb, but still!

blinding · 12-01-2010 11:03pm

In fairness how many of us would like other people to make a decision on how nice we are on one few seconds chance meeting when we were not in our best form.

Leave the poor celebs alone. Sure there are only scared little humans like the rest of us.

Without a doubt Lars Ulrich from Metallica him and Jason Newstead and Kirk Hammet a few years ago and asked them to sign a t-shirt.He couldn't have been more arsey about and only did it with a big face on him.On the up side Jason came over to our table after with a bottle of red wine and drank it with us Legend.

thats the thing.. jason was always the man of the people, would wait around after gigs and sign everyones stuff, whereas ulrich cares about his money and cocaine and **** all else

I've met them a few times and gotta say Jason was fcukin awesome, Kirk & James were ok but Lars was just........Lars :rolleyes::rolleyes:

But reading Weiland's post again it sounds like they were in a restaurant and eating, fair enough if they're a bit rude, to me that's a no go, don't bother any1 when they're eating

Actually no wasn't in a restaurant was at an after show party kind of a meet and greet thingy.Totally agree i wouldn't bother anyone eating.But i will say if they bothered to show up for the after show thingy he could have made an effort.

Paddy casey (if you would class him as a celeb) was a complete asshole to friend of mine. We met him one night at one of his gigs a couple of years back. Was delighted when he got booed off the stage at pearl jam!

Up to the Justice album and tour, 1990, it was pretty easy to meet them, since the Black Album it's more or less impossible, they're taken to the gigs in a convoy and drive straight into there own area.

Hi guys
New to this, great thread!!

Used to work for a very well known fast food restaurant with a drive thru. Served Alan Hughes (your man of TV3 I think??) a good few times. Not a nice man at all...

Marty Whelan on the other hand used to come in with his children and he was terribly nice

tellingeye · 01-02-2010 7:14pm

Neil Delemare, rude rude rude!

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