I went to school with Paul Rudd and he was as awesome back then as he seems to be now.

It always stands out when someone (especially when they are younger) are genuinely nice to everyone.


This. I arrived early to a celebrity event and ignored as should have been case bc was not part of that world. When my “date” arrived and people saw who I was with, suddenly everyone wanted to say hello and meet me in hopes would get them some pull for their next job. It’s a definitely a tough business when have to network for jobs so often if haven’t landed that rare 10 season tv show.


I'm the PP. It was definitely jarring the first few times when people would quite literally stop talking to me once they knew I wasn't anyone. Kourtney and Kendall Kardashian were actually really nice, especially Kendall. Their sisters? Definitely the type who wanted nothing to do with you if you couldn't do anything for them.


I dated someone who is now a famous director and we remained friends after. He would take me to events and it was always so amusing to me how people would ask me what I did for a living, realize I wasn't in entertainment and literally turn on a dime. It was indeed so nice to run into someone who didn't care what you did and would be friendly.

Simone Biles is ridiculously normal. She was sweet and kind in a way that makes you wonder if she even realizes she's one of the greatest athletes ever.



This is really cool to hear. A couple of years ago there was a story about a man from Iowa who died, and Charles Barkley was at the funeral. It turned out that the two met at a hotel bar in California and became friends. They would meet up when they had business in the same city. The man had told his family and friends that Barkley was a good friend, but they thought he was exagerrating. They realized it was true when he was at the guy's funeral.


Barkley is the nicest ever. bar none, seriously. That guy is so down to earth, no airs and just a good person. I've had a number of friends who randomly found themselves meeting him and told me stories about him - consistently same MO of being a real person.


Barkley is on my (imaginary, dream, dead or alive) dinner party list. When I’m feeling blue I listen to his episode on Conan O’Brien’s Podcast to lift my spirits. He’s a hoot and I am so happy to hear he’s kind to people.

Strong disagree. I saw him once at a restaurant and asked him for a photograph for a kid and he was a major jerk.
