I was...surprised.

You were surprised that he wasn't Mormon or Muslim?

I've heard Chevy Chase is also terrible to meet in person, as is Madonna.

Some loathed celebs and politicians will charm and thaw your cold heart upon meeting them.

Someone can be a good person and a heavy drinker. You seem...naive.

Before the earth cooled, I worked in morning radio and was a fan of Mark and Brian out in LA.

Had a chance to meet them at a radio conference and they were both total a—holes! They had totally been my heroes.

+1 Alec Baldwin for me. I was a college girl in overalls and a shaved head and he couldn’t have been nicer.

I was a big fan of the writer Jeffrey Archer until I went to a reading and met him in person. Incredibly pompous (and he ended up going to jail a few years after that). Haven't read any of his books since.

Am I the only one who doesn't have strong opinions of people I've never met?
Of course there are actors, writers and musicians I love, but I don't assume any of them would be pleasant or unpleasant in person.

I know I'm not supposed to talk I'll of the Des but tom Clancy was really nasty and rude.

More of minor celebs, but if you've been a fan of Bravo for over a decade you'll know:

Brad Goreski - the rumor about Canadians being nice is true - he was so sweet
Gary Janette - only wanted to talk to "pretty people". I'm ugly. and he wouldn't give me the time of day.
Andy Cohen - depends when you get him, even if he's out without his kids (doesn't want to be approached when with them)
Kelly Ripa - lovely
Mark Consuelo - even more lovely than his wife
