who are your nicest celebs?
 

mine has to be prince william. years ago we flew him back from mexico when he was on his gap year. he was sat down the back but came and joined us in the front galley for hours and chatted. so pleasant and amusing

Not had many celebs as only been flying a year and a half but I met all of Il Divo on a flight and they were really nice and polite, so was Luke Pritchard from the Kooks and he gave me his autograph :)

Gloria Hunniford - Fab lady, happily stayed behind for a photo with crew at the end of flight.
Noel Edmonds - Really polite and friendly
Robson Greene - Again really polite and friendly

In fact, I don't think I have ever had an arsey celeb, they have all been pretty nice and polite!

I have ...

Cilla Black - she should be shot - quite possibly one of the most unpleasant individuals I have ever come across.

:eek:

i heard a similar thing about ms Black. Maybe she doesn't like flying. Or maybe she is just a brassy b!tch whose done well from a poor up bringing and forgets where she came from. Nice to hear lots of positives about other celebs. I had vinnie Jones on a flight a couple of years ago-real gent.

Lionel Ritchie
Pamela Anderson
Posh n Becks

In that order.

Ms Black
 

You don't talk to Ms Black.
Ms Black will talk to you.
Ms Black only sits in 1A
Ms Black will have some champagne now.
Ms Black talks through a personal assistant.

Vile bitch, rumour has it she was banned from BA for a while because of her attitiude to staff and excessive demands about seating.

No real celebs for me. Once had a first class cabin full of Bollywood stars, one of the Indian girls on the flight assured me were the equivalent level of fame of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie in India. They were a bunch of tossers. All kept their sunglasses on the entire NIGHT flight. They also cracked the ****s because I asked to see their boarding cards. How the
F&%$ am I supposed to know who they are.

One of my friends had Jade Goody and her boyfriend on a flight once. She thought they must have been upgrades before she realised who they were.

Neve Campbell,
Alicia Silverstone,
Stephan Fry
Mike Reid,
Jonny Vagus
samamntha mumba
that rapper dude who sang the throng song?
jeremy clarkson - legend


all the above were top notch pax..

scary spice - she scared the hell outta me.
ewan mcgregor
werent as nice but to be fair...mr mcgregor was sat in the exit row, obvioulsy tired and exhausted, plus he was the 1 remaining pax we were waiting for. plus it didnt help he had the biggest, meanest peice of handbaggage i had ever seen sat in the exit row - he wasnt happy it had to go into the hold as it was a full flight and the bag wouldnt physically fit in a overhead locker. doh!

Robin Williams. The most down-to-earth, sweetest guy. No entourage for him, boards quietly and low-profiles it. Very funny and will laugh at your own jokes.

Dea

aparently, Catherine Zeta Jones has a nice bottom. And Hugh Grant is a thoroughly nice chap

Michael Palin was as nice as you'd expect.
Richard Branson gave me a dirty look on the way out (but I had just thumped it in :-( )
Halle Berry kept to herself
Some rock band were complete to55ers
Paul Gascoigne was very friendly - I suggested going for a drink but he wimped out :-)
S African rugby team were miserable gits
Natasha somebody was very pretty
Sorry - I'm hopeless! Don't watch I'm a Celeb or read the magazines.

Maddona was a bit precious on one of my flights had to go through her PA to speak to her.

Celine Dion-very friendly
Sandra Bullock-very stuffy...twas just after her 2nd or 3rd movie (wotevr it was)
Tommy Lee Jones n his Mrs -really nice.
Will Smith n family - also really nice
UB40 always 'cool '...always friendly

Jodi Kidd - Pleasant
Liv tyler - So nice!
Kel from Kath and Kim - Was lovely!
Graham Norton - Really nice guy
Sophie Dahl - Really nice lady
Princess Beartrice - Very nice
Freddie Ljungberg - Bit precious..still gorgeous..although the precisousness was more from his PA..Why do the PA`s always think they are the important ones?
Samantha Fox - Nice

Sam and Mark (second-season Pop Idol finalists Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes-now CBBC presenters) Really funny and chatty.

Interesting to see Ms Black on Room 101 last night.....guess what she put into the room....you guessed it.....cabin crew!:*

what reason did Miss Black give for putting us in Room 101? would love to know

The safety demos freak her out! Apparently, she'd rather not know how to help save herself should things go Pete Tong....

PS I think there was more to it than that, but I didn't watch the whole programme.

I've had Cilla Black on one of my flights. I was dreading it because my friend had her on a few weeks earlier and she was horrible. However, on my flight she was ok (no PA with her though). She was sitting in 1A though and did drink only champagne (at 6am....yum!). She had a little chat with us about her villa and then spilled the champagne all over her seat and sat in it. (?) Bizarre.

I've also recently had:
Matt Damon, Kylie Minogue, Jeremy Clarkson (all lovely). Jeremy Clarkson can also be hit and miss, sometimes he's lovely, othertimes he's vile.

Today I had Helena Christiansen. She was lovely (said please and thankyou and everything! She even ate...shock!) but her boyfriend was a miserable g*t (you'd think screwing a supermodel would make you happy!).

Also had some cr*p faux celebrities recently. The worst was bloody Chantel (winner of 'celebrity' big brother). She roamed up and down the cabin hoping somebody would recognise her (nobody bothered to look up from their newspapers), and then made personal comments about other peoples appearance.... I wouldn't mind but she looked like she'd been rolled in Bisto and had orange rats tails growing out of her head!

Although the worst HAS to be the owner of my own bloody airline who didn't even acknowledge that there were Cabin Crew on HIS flights. I particularly liked the way he introduced himself to the flight deck and then walked straight passed me like I didn't exist.... w*nker... I hope he chokes on his £300 million.

Whitney Houston's executive charter pilots were told at no time during the weeks charter were they to make eye contact with her or try to speak to her at anytime!!!!

Lauren Hutton, she came up front after landing, kissed me full on the lips and said "dinner any time you want it"..precious and still hungry.

Great to hear about these so called celebs. Unfortunately many of them I've never heard of, probably because most of them are much younger than my 70 years, but interesting nevertheless.

No man is greater than another. We all go the same way in the end.

Yes everyone is equal, it's just that some are more equal than others.

Met Cilla on the set of Corrie years ago when I was a joiner. She was a royal PIA then, about 1983. No change it seems in all that time.

In a new life, I met Celine Dion and Madonna (a day or two before her wedding) on separate occasions and they have provided tons of great anecdotes because of their terrible attitudes.

By far the best celeb was a tennis player from US, Jim Courier.

All the rest were well behaved, ie didn't appear on my radar.

gents
John Cleese- After coming in from NZ, he still took the time to talk to myself and the captain. No pretensions whatsoever.

Seb Coe. Extemely pleasant guy, unassuming.

Craig David. Totally surprised me. not at all what you expect from a popstar.

Freddy Ljungsberg. Nice guy, (I note some others found his PA a little pushy)

...a complete contrast=
Michael Winner. Words fail me at how important he thinks he is, and how utterly obnoxious is his behaviour.
Jody kidd- she is michael winner in drag, by her attitude, and a complete animal. Huge disrespect for anyone and anything. Total waste of space. Family is no better.

You say "Yes everyone is equal; it's just that some are more equal than others."

Shouldn't that read "Some think that they are more equal than other?"

Treat them with the contempt that they deserve. Thankfully I’m not interested in the pop, film, TV or sports world so would not recognise a celeb if I saw one.

We once had photographers walking backwards taking photos and film shots as we left a Singapore flight at Heathrow. My wife informed me that they were filming Michael Winner and not us. I didn’t know who he was.

Delta
 

Delta Goodrem and Brian Mcfadden, 2 of the loveliest people I have had on a flight, Delta on one flight even came to galley to sit have a cup of tea and a chat. Beautiful Lovely and what a Lady.....
:D:ok:

I had Australia's richest man, Andrew Forrest (Twiggy) and his PA. They were both lovely and down-to-earth. He even called ME sir when I asked if he wanted coffee, which I found suspiciously gratiating, especially later when I asked if he could now turn his phone off as we were soon to land and he snarled, "I am doing it now..."

Anne Hathaway,
Delightful and very pleasant lady, very down to earth. Stunning too.

Great thread people.

I heard we had Nick Faldo on board so I went down to have a chat, very nice bloke considering he is supposed to be very arrogant. I have never been star struck by anyone but as he was my childhood golfing idol I made a huge tit of myself, bumbling and stuttering all my questions. Managed to do a good landing for him, thank god!!!!

We had David Blunkett. Captain saw him approaching the aircraft.
“He’s blind isn’t he?” asks Captain.
“Yes….” says me.
“So if I open the window and shout Oi Blunkett you c*nt! he won’t know its me, will he?”
“Err no, he won’t but I’m not sure what the rest of the pax in the queue will think”
“Mmm, good point”

I understand from the CC that he behaved himself.

Top of my list, although it was now some years ago - Joanna Lumley on a charter flight to Corfu. She was every bit as delightful as one would expect, what you see is what you get, simply charming and un-assuming.

She has a great cottage near Stratford upon Avon too.

My Dad always said that Ayrton Senna was his best ever pax.

London - Beunos Aires - asked for a glass of water, not to be disturbed and slept the whole flight. . . !

Lancelot - how true...

Sounds like Elle Mcpherson!!! im probably right lol :p

His manner and the way people with him communicated with me were were truly charming and a great honor to have met Mr. Muhammed Ali.
A very memorable morning.

Recently on a flight to Milan, Jamie Hartman of Ben's brother.

Very nice bloke and entourage. I had to sing the lyrics in the back galley until the purser figured out who he was! :eek:

Ben was also there, which made it a bit confusing. :confused:

All together very nice chap to look after and love his music.
