10 Celebs Who Are Actually as Nice as They Seem — And Fans Have the Wholesome Receipts
In a world of flashing cameras and scandalous headlines, it’s downright refreshing to know that some stars really are the sweethearts they appear to be. BuzzFeed compiled a list of the nicest celebrities based on real fan encounters — and folks, these stories are pure gold.
Let’s start with the patron saint of kindness himself, Mr. Rogers. One fan said, “He made me feel like I was the only person in the room.” Is anyone surprised? The man radiated warmth like a human fireplace.
Next up, skater legend Tony Hawk isn’t just grinding rails — he’s building them. A fan shared that Hawk donated money to build a skate park in their small town and even brought a crew of pro skaters to christen it.
“Weird Al” Yankovic may make us laugh with his parodies, but he’s also got a big ol’ heart. At one show, he made it a point to greet every single fan afterward and thank them personally. That’s showbiz and soul.
Ethan Hawke flipped the script on fame. A fan recalled how he asked more questions about them than they could about him. Now that’s the kind of plot twist we love.
Then there’s Dan Aykroyd, who once gave a 15-year-old harmonica-playing busker outside 30 Rock a crisp $20. Classic Ghostbuster move — bustin’ out kindness.
The late, great Robin Williams made hearts soar. Fans say he was the embodiment of humility, joy, and gratitude. One called him “a literal delight.”
Jamie Lee Curtis didn’t just take a record recommendation — she came back and bought out the entire stock to gift to her film crew. Now that’s a final girl move we can stan.
Cameron Diaz helped take out the trash — literally. A ski resort worker shared that Diaz offered to lend a hand when their arms were full. Talk about slope-side support.
And yes, Taylor Swift made a fan’s dream moment extra magical by saying, “This will be our first picture, and our next will be at an awards show,” before sealing it with a hug.
Rounding out this power list is Post Malone, who showed up on set with his parents just to share the excitement. A fan called him “one of the most genuine people I’ve ever met.”
So next time you’re doubting Hollywood, just remember: some stars shine off camera, too.
