I was an extra in a movie with him. When he arrived on the scene, some nasty film crew woman was screaming at us not to bother him or ask for his autograph (which none of us had done). He must have heard her, because he turned right around and came over to talk to us. - GodofWitsandWine</p> </blockquote><h2>2.</h2><blockquote> <p>Paris Hilton - I didn&#39;t meet her in person. But I worked for an airline answering phones as a supervisor. She called in to change her itinerary on New year&#39;s Day years ago when she was very much in the public eye. It would have been about 3:00 a.m. where she was, and I could hear the party going on in the background. She was my very first call of the morning where I was on the east coast. 7:00 a.m. I was hungover as f*ck, and in no mood to be at work. She was absolutely the nicest person to deal with. She was really sweet and patient, she made small talk while I changed her reservation and seemed genuinely kind. I was pleasantly surprised. - flea902</p> </blockquote><div className="ad-splitter"></div><h2>3.</h2><blockquote> <p>A lot of people mention Gordon Ramsay being lovely. My godsister can confirm.
