Celebrities are our new royals. Extravagant, secretive, dramatic, with a whole PR team behind them, and influence over millions of fans all around the globe. It's not surprising to see carefully curated posts with cleverly placed brand deals on celebs' socials, but what are they really like? We sometimes get a glimpse into the personal lives of the famous, thanks to paparazzi pics, leaked info, or them just giving it up themselves. We can hate them, we can love them, but we will watch them.
We've already learned about famous people who are jerks, or just plainly disappointing in real life, but Reddit user AccomplishedDrag7526 wanted to know if there are celebs that nobody hates. And their post got some traction: over 16k people wanted to share their picks, with some even sharing how they met the said celebs in person. Whether we like it or not, famous people have great influence, and it's very important that they lead with a good example and speak out about society's issues, especially when it comes to shaping the youth.
For this list, Bored Panda selected the most universally loved celebs, those that have a good reputation for a reason, advocate for what they believe in, are kind and supportive, and don't make others feel like less than them. Scroll down, make sure to upvote your favorites, and if we missed a celeb that you adore, make sure to share it in the comments!

Brendan Fraser, dude went through hell both physically & emotionally from back injuries & being sexually violated and is finally coming back to Hollywood. Dude is as friendly and humble as he ever was and I wish him the best.

Julie Andrews. I actually went on tour with Julie for 2 weeks. It was one of those: “An evening with…” type things. By the first day she knew all the crews names, chatted with everyone, telling stories and asking about our lives. By the third show she was the crew Mum, making sure we were all getting enough rest and food. She literally stopped a rehearsal when our breakfast was late being delivered so we could all go and eat. And on the last show she gave us all hugs, a bottle of whisky and a hand written letter saying thank you. It’s the only time once a show ended that we were all a bit sad because we wouldn’t see her again. Beautiful woman inside and out.

The late Fred Rogers. I met him when I was a young punk working in a video rental store. He was truly truly a saint. He chatted with us for a while and treated me and my metal head co worker with the same respect and love that he treated everyone on his show, and as he left told us he was proud to have such fine upstanding young men as his neighbors.
One of my favorite memories.

Steve Buscemi. He seems super nice. We trick or treat in the same neighborhood every year and he nearly always dresses up to hand out candy and is great with all the kids.
