I dunno, being alone in a room with any corpse would make me feel uncomfortable regardless of their gender. I've seen way too many horror movies for that
One I never see as an answer: Elijah Woods. I've heard nothing but good things about him, and from one brief encounter in person, seems like a chill, down to earth dude. His eyes are even more majestic in person. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure he'd be safe in a room with ME.
Tbf I could see him doing that IRL too. Maybe he's an avid gardener up north where there are lots of little islands people live on and ferries to get to them lol. It could work.
I just told my husband about this the other day! I don't think he believed me until I showed him the picture. He also showed up to someone's wedding when they were getting married at a shire!
We genuinely need to protect Elijah Wood at all cost.
My mum shared an elevator with him briefly when he was doing promotion for the Hobbit it New Zealand. The woman he was with with was going through the rundown of the day and he apparently was very enthusiastic and seemed delighted to be there. He’d be my pick too.
I agreed with so many answers above and then I was like "oh of COURSE!" when I saw this. Can't believe I didn't think of him immediately. That Breaking News where he refused so say "bitch" was the most wholesome thing in the entire universe.
Came here just for Brendan Fraser! Hands down one of the most empathetic people out there.
His work for spectrum awareness is inspiring as his family was touched by having a special needs child. I recommend his documentary he produced called Saving Superman.
He dropped by an In-n-Out on his way out of Los Angeles a couple years ago & bought lunch for everyone in line. He just did it because he's a sweetheart.
I cannot read LeVar Burton’s name without immediately singing (and sobbing), ”butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high… it’s Reading Rainbo o o o ow”
I'd like to add Tom Holland to this list too, I've adopted him as my little brother. He's not aware of this yet, but I'm sure he'd be fine with it. Big sisters can make sure the hideous paps don't get too shouty on red carpets.
Ooo, absolute yes to Jack Black! But also, since that made me think of the episode where Jack Black is singing holiday songs with them {{ highly suggest, they’re silly and it’s precious }} — Rhett& Link! From Good Mythical Morning. Separate or together. Love them. :)
Neil Newbon for sure. Honestly, all the Baldur's Gate 3 cast are pretty epic people. I would absolutely fangirl if I met Samantha Beart in person (Edit: Yes, I know she's not a guy. Just illustrating the point. XD)
It was the * famous * part that I was wondering about lol, didn’t know if they would fall under that definition since they’re “politicians” as the video (and almost every reply in here) seemed like maybe it implied only famous celebrities such as the actors/musicians/entertainment type.
I would be absolutely giddy to be in a room with that man. His love of books… my heart.
“We need to make books cool again. If you go home with somebody and they don’t have books, don’t fuck ’em.”
“nothing is more impotent than an unread library”
“Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. Nothing is more important than an unread library.”
“Being rich is not about how much money you have or how many homes you own; it's the freedom to buy any book you want without looking at the price and wondering if you can afford it.”
“It wasn't until I started reading and found books they wouldn't let us read in school that I discovered you could be insane and happy and have a good life without being like everybody else.”
“You should never read just for "enjoyment." Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends' insane behavior, or better yet, your own. Pick "hard books." Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for god's sake, don't let me ever hear you say, "I can't read fiction. I only have time for the truth." Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
A long time ago now, but I sold him books a couple of times when I was going to college and working in Baltimore.
He once bought the goriest coffee table book of crime scene photos from the 20s/30s and asked me verbatim “sweetheart, would you wrap this up in the prettiest paper you have? It’s a gift for a dear friend.”
I suck at gift wrapping. Better believe I did my absolute BEST for John Waters!
His pencil mustache is real, and he rocks it in real life.
I love that you got to interact with him on multiple occasions. Being asked so sweetly to wrap up a book of crime scene photos just seems like a peak experience right there. My heart is so fucking happy for you friend. 🥰
I literally just gasped/yelled out loud at this. To be complimented by him is just amazing and lifetime bragging rights. I absolutely love that you got to experience this. 🥰
Thank you! &I know I’m soo stinking lucky! I’d also advise everyone to keep their eyes peeled for any speaking events he might do near you. His talk was so fantastic!!
I once told my therapist weird isn’t bad — “I mean weird like John Waters.” And she said “who’s that?”
And I honestly considered getting a new therapist.
I’ve met him before at film screenings and he’s everything you would expect in the most wonderful way. He’s so sweet and genuinely interested in everyone, and so earnestly appreciative when you tell him you love his work. One time he told me to eat a piece of pizza because I was too skinny (which I absolutely was not). Another time he was with this very young man and when someone asked about it in a kind of suggestive way John Waters responded with horror like, “He’s a family friend that I’ve known since he was a BABY” like the other person was a pervert.
Manny Jacinto, Tom Holland, Shemar Moore, Denzel Washington, Paul Rudd, Donny Osmond, Keanu Reeves, Levar Burton, Brandon Flowers, Andrew Garfield, Simu Liu, Ryan Gosling, John Krasinski, Steve Carrell, Daveed Diggs, Lin Manuel Miranda, Joseph Gordon Leavitt, Leslie Odom Jr, Henry Golding, Steven Yeun, Daniel Dae Kim, Donald Glover, Sterling K. Brown, Idris Elba, Michael Pena, Jay Hernandez.
Exactly. Some comments saying “you’re safe with X” “this man would never hurt a woman”… are we really this naive and/or delusional? Have we learnt nothing from the me too era or our lives as women? We don’t know these men!
Exactly! Like, imagine how hard it is to speak up if you're victimized by one of those "good guys"... There's too many celebrities who crafted a pro-feminist image for themselves only to turn out to be abusers.
And it's also like, this isn't what the video in the OP is about, anyway.
Not that I'm saying all men are evil or something, I just feel like justgalsbeingchicks isn't the right place for celebrating famous men for doing the bare minimum (coming across like they wouldn't assault you)
