Rudest celeb you've met?

A good few,and I mean a GOOD few years ago when I was youngster,me and a pal were going through a phase of autograph hunting,pretty lame I know,but what can you do.

Richard Whiteley,the bloke who used to present Countdown,was doing a personal appearance in a shopping centre,so we went down to get his scrawl.
He was acting the billy big bollix,so we decided to wind him up,and stood at the side of him going Riiiiccchaaaaaarrrdddd, Riiiiccchaaaaaarrrdddd,over and over again until he snapped and told us to f*ck off,RESULT.

So,after that,we decided to make a change in our approach,instead of getting their autograph,we wanted to wind em up so they told to f*ck off as well,our list includes

Jon Pertwee,(who was dressed as Wurzel Gummidge at the time)
Tight Fit,the bunch of ****e who sang "The Lion Sleeos Tonite)
Windsor Davies and Don Estelle from It Ain't Half Mum.

I know that most people won't even know who these are,but we had a ball winding them up.

My best story though is, a few years I was over in Leeds,visiting a pal,and we were out having a few scoops.
We were in this late bar,and the two lads that play Sam Dingle,and Zak Dingle in Emmerdale,were sat at the next table to us,and they were locked,I mean they were hammered,and the Sam one was giving out about another actor on Emmerdale,not sure who,I missed the start,but he was going mental.

He saying stuff like "If he keeps it up next time we're filming,I'm gonna f*cking kill him,he's really pissing me off."
"Who does he think he is,I'm a bigger star than he is"

He was going on for ages,when Zak uttered the immortal line,

"Leave him,he's not worth it.":D:D

I'd really like to know more about the Jon Pertwee/ Worzel Gummidge story. Was he in character as Worzel?

Just remembered who it was after seeing his name online. It was Noel Bridgeman of Skid Row (Brush Shiels old band, not the US metal band of the same name). He was ringing about his Sky account. Awful obnoxious git.

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.

Met the director of that, a real eejit, talked in a ridiculous faux-American drawl, and claimed he met Lauren Bacall when the photo was clearly Barbara Bain off Space 1999.

Cliff Richard (don't ask!) wasn't hugely friendly but he was Christmas shopping with his sisters at the time, and was also No.1 in the charts (Millennium Prayer) so I suppose he was sick of being stopped. My mother is a massive fan which is the only reason I approached him.

No one just says F Off to a simple greeting without a reason! There has to be something more to this story!

Yep I find this hard to believe, I don't think even Hitler would have said F off in this situation, I call bullsh*t

My wife served him in a restaurant in Galway about 15 years ago, seemingly he was a gent and left £100 tip (Aidan Quinn that is not Hitler :pac:)

) would be so kind to the waiters

It pains me to call them 'celebs' but nationally, for the rudest 'celeb' it's a toss up between Linda Martin & Twink. Internationally, the award goes to Donald Megalomaniac Trump.

Trump is supposed to be quite personable in social situations. I know the staff down at Doonbeg had good things to say about him. No airs and graces, will talk to anyone.

Went to see DJ Sasha, big guy in the world of dance.

When he came out to do his thing he constantly mouthed F-Off to the crowd and stuck his fingers up constantly.

Considering he most likely got what we get yearly in that one night, what an absolute tosser he came across.

Great music though

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.

I'd well believe it.

I watched a few episodes of The Voice (for my sins) a few years ago and I thought Bressie was the rudest fella. One of the contestants was joking a bit and Bressie absolutely flipped and shouted horrible condescending things at him.

He's always harping on about mental health but treats some people like dirt.

Hector got a lot of votes. Rude might be pushing it, low intelligence is what I was thinking. Hector San Afraic, meets Nelson Mandela, starts of with well boy, howya and a load of stupid gombeen language. Great at telling jokes when he is getting paid for it.

Des Bishop, what an arsehole.

Years ago (around mid 00's) we were in a pub in Limerick and one of my mates whom was a big fan went over to him and the conversation went like this:

Friend: Hi Des, sorry to bother you, big fan and was wondering if you could sign an autograph.
Des: No and **** off back to whatever ****hole you came from.

My friend waddled back to our table basically in tears and in shock.

What he'd do to be asked for an autograph now I'd say.

Couple of my friends were involved in booking Neil Delamare for a show once, said he was as rude a person as you could meet. Delusions of superstardom.

LouD2016 · 01-03-2019 3:09pm

I was just going to say Neil Delamare.

I used to work in a hotel that had a lot of comedians doing shows. He was by far the rudest.

Keith Barry was lovely and I thought he might be up his own h*le.

There was another 'comedian' staying (cant even remember his name so that's how celeb he was), checked him in, he rang down from his room a few minutes later saying he had been bitten by something in the bed and we must have bed bugs. I thought he was joking (being a comedian and all) but he was dead serious.
Threw a massive strop and stormed out. Miserable f*cker he was.

Also met Keith Duffy and the wife - they were pure obnoxious

His brother Aidan the alleged "comedian" is supposed to be even worse. Must run in the family.

TomasMacR · 25-03-2019 12:55pm

I met/had the misfortune of having interaction with Tommy Tiernan on a flight from London. He was with his friend and both were worse for wear. They weren’t seated next to one another so Tommy had taken my seat and told, did not ask me to, sit in his seat. I tried to explain to him it’s against airline policy in the event of an accident etc and he was having none of it. It became embarrassing and there was a queue forming behind me so I gave in...which I regret doing but for a 50 min flight I thought why bother. Anyway, pig ignorant talentless gombeen is putting it mildly.

Jonathon Rhys Myers was one of the rudest people I've ever encountered. I was on work experience in a clothes shop in Temple Bar (vintage/second-hand type things) and he came in. Now this was years ago, I think it was shortly after his Michael Collins appearance.

Anyway he was looking at a jumper that was marked for £20 and he wanted to pay £10. I was on my own in the shop and there was no way I was dropping the price without the manager giving the go-ahead. So this went back and forth for a while with me explaining that the price on the tag is the price of the jumper. He eventually paid the £20 but not before uttering those immortal words.... "Do you know who I am?" :rolleyes:

I politely told him I hadn't a clue (knew well) and that regardless of who he was he still had to pay the marked price. Complete tosser. He apparently did the same thing in the shop next door too.

I met both James Bond and Stannis Baratheon in of all places, Achill Island! They were making a film there and it was the late 90's, so neither was well known. They were both lovely and had no problem chatting with us and taking pictures. This was before the internet and celebrity culture hadn't really taken off the way it is now. I remember being fascinated by the whole filming process and talking to the director who was more than happy to yap away to 16yr old me

I think the most well known "celebrity" at the time was when Dave Fanning came down to do a movie review :pac: Again, he was really nice and approachable and it made my day when he talked to me and took a picture with him

The rudest person I met was probably the most well known actor at the time - Greta Scacchi. I asked her for a picture and she looked at me like I was a piece of sh!t on her shoe and literally turned up her nose. I know people have bad days and actors don't owe us anything but this was out and out snobbery so I took a picture of her with my disposable camera as she was walking away. That will show her!

Elemonator · 26-03-2019 12:02am

I've seen him mentioned negatively here and my experience was the total opposite. I'm talking about Noel Bridgeman, who played with Gary Moore/Skid Row/Brush Shiels/Phil Lynott etc. Saw him playing with a blues band in my local and I approached him after to talk about drumming. He was an absolute gent. For those who know me, I am crazy about drums!

I happen to be related to a famous people on my mum's side and my dad's family is friends with one particularly prevalent Irish female singer. They are all sound, but have explained to me that they are just ordinary people who have their ups and downs, good and bad days etc. I know for a fact if I was famous and just wanted to have a quiet dinner with my family only to get approached constantly I'd go mad too. It eventually wears you down.

notobtuse · 26-12-2019 7:30pm

Ric Ocasek. Almost got into a fistfight with him. He was in the drive-thru line at a McDonalds in NYC and I was also in line, but from another direction. He wasn’t paying attention when several cars in front of him moved forward. I waited awhile for him to move forward, but it was getting ridiculous so I pulled into line ahead of him. He got out of the car and started screaming that I cut in front of him. I got out of my car and the argument really got heated. We were face to face screaming at each other and I guess his supermodel wife saw it was going to end badly so she got out of the car and cooled things off between us.

Rudest celeb you've met?
