When a celebrity in person really underwhelms you

[Anonymous]

Had two experiences actually...one was a few months ago we went to NYC for a wedding. We went the night before to a "in" restaurant forgot the name and who comes to sit next to us but Gwyneth Paltrow and 2 other women.
I was sitting right in front of her so got to see her all night long. She seemed nice enough and I did notice she was nice to the waiter but man she was nothing to look at. Super plain Jane, as in you would not give her a second glance. She is tall and lithe that part is true (but so am I so that didn't really wow me) but in terms of looks, face, hair, etc....definitely underwhelming.


The other one was a few years ago, we were at the airport and were sitting in the lounge next to Joy Behar, first I am not a fan of hers at all but she was super obnoxious. Loud and crass, made me cringe. I sure would have liked to have seen that in person she is a nice and gentler person than she comes across, it would have made me warm up to her.

Anyone else have such an experience?

At least Gwenyth was nice. It’s nice to know that some celebrities are kind people.

How do you know she was nice? She seemed nice based on sitting at a table for an evening?

I think you can get a sense of someone's personality by watching them eat dinner in public. At least she was not berating the waiter, etc.

I'm super bummed about Gwenyth. I think she is gorgeous.

Billy Zane was on my flight to London about 10 years ago. My experience was the opposite of yours - I’ve never found him attractive onscreen but in person he was very handsome, tall and striking and impeccably groomed.

Saw Jared Leto in a bar once. Very underwhelming. My inner teen mourned the loss of my crush on Jordan Catalano.

saw JLo - fabulous!

Rob Lowe is almost a Little Person. A hot Little Person, but so tiny!

Denzel Washington was underwhelming.

My daughter went to college in Miami and you’d not be surprised to hear that the Justin Bieber was a jerk. Drake was “so cool.” JLo and ARod were really sweet.

saw Tobey Maguire and his family at Dulles. He was really really underwhelming, but he looks that way in photos too so not surprising...
