There are plenty of ‘good’ celebrities who turned out to be bad (Bill Cosby, Ellen etc). But are there any bad boy/girl celebrities who are actually really decent people?

As far as I recall Alice Cooper.

I always thought Guy Fieri was a douche but he’s a really awesome guy. I think he donated meals to firefighters in California? He also started a fund to help out of work restaurant workers due to Covid.

Sinead O’Connor was pilloried for things like shaving her head…to not get accosted by sleazy record industry types, and horrible rabble rousing baseless accusations against the Catholic Church (that turned out to be true).

Similarly, Fiona Apple was brought low by an “unhinged rant” at an awards show where she went off on a totally uncalled for controversial speech about, uh, the unhealthy nature of celebrity culture and toxic elements of celebrity worship.

Danny Trejo stayed at our hotel once for about 4 weeks shooting a movie. His looks are very intimidating but he was the nicest, most polite person you could ask for. Within 3 days he knew every staff member’s name and insisted upon being called Danny instead of Mr. Trejo, which was the hotel policy.

The hotel had an English Pub that the hotel staff were allowed to go to on Wednesday nights. I was in there one evening when he came in alone and sat with me for about 90 minutes just talking about regular guy stuff.

Gordon Ramsey is shown to be an ass, but in person is actually super nice (especially for kids)
