It seems to reason that many celebrities would like to spend as much time as possible away from their admirers. Not every famous person, though, does it. Many celebrities are kind to regular folk and show no signs of being affected by their celebrity status. Redditors say these actors and artists frequently go out of their way to meet and greet fans and show gratitude to the personnel at the venues where they perform.
When recalling pleasant interactions with famous individuals, listeners may emphasize how down-to-earth the person was. People like Bill Murray are quick to start making jokes. Even among the stars, some may come as a pleasant surprise, like Kim Kardashian, who ranks among the friendliest.

"My cousin took his son to a WWE event for his birthday and then fishing the next day along the river. While they were fishing the Rock appeared out of nowhere, ready to go fishing with his cousin. The 4 of them spent the entire day together, the Rock bought them lunch, hung out. It was an epic experience especially for my cousin's son who just turned 12." From Earlmo

"David Beckham. Met him in the nappy isle of Tesco when I was a kid – he shook my hand and chatted, so unbelievably polite and did not mind at all. Saw him again a week later and he remembered my name, smiled and waved. I don't think I stopped smiling for a month. Such a lovely guy." From GuppyGurl

"I met Willy Nelson briefly when I was 16. I was pouring liquor at an auditorium he was playing at when he walked up, bought a Pepsi and slid a crisp $50 into my front pocket. He winked and said 'to the unsung heroes helping me look good on stage.' Was really cool and I think about it often. :)" From platyviolence

"I met him at an after party where I used to work, I was an American girl in London. He was there with my friend's girlfriend and the girl he was seeing at the time, but they were off somewhere else. He heard me speak with an American accent and proceeded to ask me [my] whole life story. We chatted for nearly an hour until some dudes came over to try and sell him on a script."

"John Cena was really cool when I met him at a mall thing for my brother years ago. Stayed for 8 hours to meet all the people lined up to see him. This was during his first big fame blow up so I'm sure he was busy. He also does a lot of Make a Wish stuff. Blends into his surroundings easily though." From SpurlieBird

"Matthew McConaughey. Met him at an airport. I was an employee and he had some TSA questions. Genuinely nice, we had a great chat for about 15 min. After he was set, we shook hands, he had his kids all thank me individually and shake my hand as well. His wife was reserved but nice as well. From tst3c:7. Steven Tyler

"Walked by this linen clothing store that was blasting music at around 10 pm, and he was the only one inside, dancing and talking to the employees. He came outside to sign an autograph for two girls and as he turned to go back in we made eye contact. All I could think to say was 'Y-y-you're Steven Tyler!' and he just replies 'F*ck yea I am!' I asked him for a picture and he said 'hell yea' and pulled my friends and I close and snapped one." From Lucan8ter:8. Natalie Portman

"Natalie Portman was also really sweet, sat next to her in a movie theater about 10 years ago. She laughed at my friend's corny Star Wars joke and we joked around a bit. She was really cool (and gorgeous). Still have a huge crush on her thanks to that night." From poopship462

"Jay Leno. And please, hear me out. When I was 17 (this was in 2010), I got to go backstage at the Tonight Show because I was a huge fan of the show. After the show, he came into the green room and talked to me and my family for a solid ten minutes. After we had left the studio, we saw him in his car leaving the studio and signing autographs for fans. From alexschubs
