00:00 "So, we all are familiar, we're all familiar with sad."
00:04 "I'm just eating a sandwich, man."
00:06 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the celebrities who are known to be nice and easygoing,
00:12 despite their larger-than-life stature.
00:14 "You get this reputation, which I'm sure bedevils you, but you're such a nice guy."
00:19 Number 30, Tom Hiddleston.
00:22 "I requested that Tom bring me tomato soup earlier on on Twitter. I didn't think he'd actually do it, but look at this."
00:28 Although he plays one of the 21st century's biggest baddies, Tom Hiddleston is a giant softie.
00:33 In an interview with Empire, Hiddleston recounted a terrible summer during which he worked as a waiter.
00:38 He claimed that people were, quote, "extraordinarily rude" to him, and in response, he vowed to, quote, "never be rude in his life."
00:46 And we're proud to announce that he has honored that pledge.
00:49 It seems like everyone Hiddleston meets or works with has something good to say about him.
00:53 The Telegraph called him, quote, "impeccably well-mannered."
00:56 GQ says he is, quote, "a sweet-natured bookworm."
00:59 And Stan Lee once tweeted that he was, quote, "the nicest guy you'll ever meet."
01:04 He may just be the god of sweetness.
01:06 "So, welcome back, welcome back, welcome back. Um, so, so you, so you, you've never been on the show."
01:15 Number 29, Kristen Stewart.
01:17 "You think that that pushed you to be a little more, uh, open? 'Cause you're a shy person by nature, right?"
01:23 Being famous is incredibly difficult for some people, and that's always been evident with Kristen Stewart.
01:28 While often a commanding presence on screen, Stewart seems perpetually shy and awkward in most public appearances and late-night interviews.
01:35 Many people have picked up on Stewart's nervous social tics, like always running her hand through her hair.
01:41 GQ has called her, quote, "mysterious and unknowable," which is a delightful and entirely accurate way of putting it.
01:47 But being mysterious and unknowable is certainly not a bad thing.
01:51 In fact, it's helped Kristen Stewart stand out from the pack, especially in a time of celebrity oversharing.
01:57 "Did you get a tattoo? Did you get a new tattoo?"
01:59 "I did, yes, let's talk about it."
02:01 Number 28, Cillian Murphy.
02:03 "We could have a jam, the four of us."
02:05 "Yeah, you can wear your cardigan."
02:07 "Yeah, alright."
02:10 Will winning an Oscar finally open Cillian Murphy up to the world?
02:14 No, probably not.
02:15 Murphy is famously unattracted to the Hollywood scene, and lives a quiet life in his home country of Ireland.
02:21 Notoriously reserved, Murphy didn't even appear on a talk show until 2010, well after his career breakout in the early 2000s.
02:28 He also rarely talks about his personal life, but what he has revealed sounds incredibly mundane.
02:34 In his own words, quote, "I haven't created any controversy. I don't sleep around. I don't go and fall down drunk."
02:40 What we do know is that he has two children and has been with his wife, Yvonne McGuinness, since 1996.
02:46 Far from an explosive life, and that's the way he likes it.
02:50 "Well, how do I put this? Like, I'm not cool, but I'm not uncool."
02:57 "You just found that soft middle of dadhood?"
02:59 "Yeah."
03:00 Number 27, Daniel Craig.
03:02 "Do you think you'll be named a sir? Do you think you'll get a knighthood?"
03:07 "Uh, it's not kind of up to me."
03:09 "I know, but are you like, kind of thinking about it?"
03:12 "No, no, no, no."
03:13 James Bond is a reserved man. Daniel Craig didn't have much acting to do in that regard.
03:18 Craig himself is often a man of few words and definitely prefers a quiet life.
03:23 He's been with Rachel Weisz since 2010, and their wedding was only attended by four people,
03:28 one of them being Craig's daughter from another marriage.
03:31 Craig is also famously introverted, telling Sorted magazine, quote, "I just want to have a private life.
03:36 I'm relatively boring and I like my own space."
03:38 And speaking of boring, we haven't even mentioned Craig's down-to-earth hobbies,
03:42 which include listening to music, watching movies, and attending football games.
03:46 How very un-Bond of him.
03:49 "I'm sad that you're, uh, you're not gonna be Bond again, but I get it. I understand. You've had enough."
03:54 "I have."
03:55 Number 26. Taylor Swift
03:57 "You need to calm down. You're being too loud."
04:02 It's hard to remain private when you're as popular as Taylor Swift.
04:05 Possibly the most famous pop star on the planet, Swift doesn't get a lot of downtime
04:10 and is often hounded by fans whenever she's in public.
04:13 Perhaps this is why she's resorted to a relatively private life away from the hounding media.
04:17 While her dating life is often the subject of intense scrutiny,
04:21 Swift usually remains tight-lipped about her romantic endeavors,
04:24 even secretly dating actor Joe Alwyn for a number of years.
04:27 She also isn't one for intense partying,
04:30 famously telling ET reporter Nancy O'Dell that she was going, quote, "home to the cats" after the Grammys.
04:35 "I'm not gonna walk home with any men tonight. I'm gonna, I'm gonna go hang out with my friends,
04:40 and then I go home to the cats."
04:42 Number 25. Ryan Reynolds
04:44 "You are Canadian, so it means inherently you're so kind, you don't lie, you say sorry every two seconds."
04:51 "Yes, yes."
04:52 No one ever has anything bad to say about Ryan Reynolds.
04:55 With multiple decades in the business, Reynolds has built himself a sizable media empire
05:00 and has never attracted any serious controversy to his name.
05:03 Despite his wildly extroverted persona, Reynolds suffers from anxiety
05:07 and has expressed great fear about appearing on talk shows.
05:10 He also has very few hobbies, preferring to remain busy with work and watching TV in his downtime.
05:16 He has a stable family unit, having been married to Blake Lively since 2012 and fathering four children.
05:21 Finally, many co-stars and filmmakers have expressed joy at working with Reynolds,
05:26 with Julian Dennison calling him, quote, "down to earth" and, quote, "really caring."
05:30 "You are the best thing, the best thing that has ever happened to me,
05:35 second only to this star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame."
05:38 Number 24. Meryl Streep
05:40 "Well, their relationship wasn't a very public relationship, so I sort of get why it just went…"
05:45 "Why they didn't feel like they needed to talk about it."
05:47 Regarded as one of the best actors of all time, Meryl Streep can do it all.
05:52 She's been praised by numerous directors, who take note of her strong work ethic,
05:56 professionalism, and chameleon-like ability to transform into new people.
06:00 But throughout all the praise and accolades, Streep remains endearingly humble.
06:04 She's known to be a very nice woman, and she lives a quiet life away from the spotlight.
06:09 She was married to sculptor Don Gummer for almost 40 years,
06:12 and they lived most of their marriage not in the hustle and bustle of Hollywood,
06:16 but in the quiet tranquility of Connecticut.
06:18 They also had four children, all of whom still seem quite close to their mother.
06:22 She's obviously done something right.
06:23 "No, no. That wasn't a question."
06:26 Number 23. Chris Pratt
06:29 "What kind of a guy were you? An outdoors guy? Biking, hiking, that kind of stuff?"
06:33 "Um, you know, outdoors guy. A lot of fishing, a lot of hunting, where I grew up."
06:38 Behind the scenes, Chris Pratt is just as funny, bumbling, and endearing as the characters he plays.
06:43 There have been some bad things written about Pratt in recent years,
06:46 but according to those who actually know him, the rumors couldn't be further from the truth.
06:50 Director James Gunn told Men's Health that the rumors, quote, "absolutely infuriate him,"
06:55 as he is, quote, "unspeakably kind" and, quote, "an especially loving father."
07:00 This opinion was mirrored by podcaster Joe Rogan, who is no stranger to controversy himself,
07:05 who called Pratt, quote, "the nicest guy I've ever met in my life."
07:09 "He is the nicest guy."
07:10 His hobbies are also very down-to-earth guy stuff, like fishing, MMA, and football.
07:15 Doesn't get more everyday than that.
07:17 Number 22. Adele
07:19 "By all accounts, you're a very grounded person. How do you keep both feet on the ground?"
07:24 "I'm British, so I think that helps."
07:27 Universally acknowledged for her stellar voice, Adele hasn't let the acclaim get to her head.
07:32 An anonymous friend told People that Adele, quote, "prefers a quiet life away from the spotlight."
07:37 And that couldn't be more obvious.
07:39 The singer is intensely private, and always has been,
07:42 rarely discussing her personal life and preferring to avoid the mainstream media.
07:47 She doesn't use social media, claiming that it would waste her time and prevent her from doing errands.
07:52 She also secretly married her ex-husband Simon Konecki,
07:55 and briefly put her career on hold to work as a stay-at-home mother.
07:58 The couple also sued a photo agency after they took a picture of their son, citing a breach of privacy.
08:04 "I definitely will vanish again, but I'm trying to make a really conscious effort to stop being so anal with my privacy."
08:12 Number 21. Emma Watson
08:15 "It's Levy-O-Sar, not Levy-O-Sar."
08:18 Considering the notorious nature of childhood fame,
08:21 it's amazing how well the Harry Potter kids have turned out.
08:24 All three have solid heads on their shoulders, with Rupert Grint running off to sell ice cream,
08:29 and Emma Watson preferring education over fame.
08:31 Shortly after the Harry Potter films concluded, Watson attended Brown University to study English literature,
08:37 and in 2023, she began a master's in creative writing at Oxford.
08:41 Many journalists and authors have also noted her reserved nature.
08:45 Vanity Fair has called her, quote, "shy" and, quote, "down to earth,"
08:49 and Gloria Steinem said she was, quote, "way more like a real person than a movie star."
08:54 "And I leave, um, I leave books for commuters."
08:57 "For people to find?"
08:58 "For people to find, and then read, and then hopefully, like, pass on."
09:01 Number 20. Adam Sandler
09:03 "Hello, my name is Adam Sandler."
09:05 He's not just one of our favorite actors, he's one of our favorite people.
09:09 You'd think that dominating the box office for basically three decades might influence someone's ego,
09:14 but that's just not the case with the Sandman,
09:17 who is reportedly one of the nicest and most genuine actors in the industry.
09:21 "You guys, we're gonna..."
09:22 Whether he's apologizing over a parking mistake or taking part in a local basketball game,
09:27 Sandler is, as described by former colleague Ken Miyamoto,
09:30 living proof that, quote, "you can be an overly successful movie star without being a diva or a prick."
09:36 Number 19. Matt Damon
09:38 "A teacher is gonna get lazy when they have tenure. A teacher wants to teach."
09:44 His roles have covered a spectrum of personas, topics, and genres,
09:48 from action to sci-fi, historical pieces to dramas.
09:51 But even after an Oscar win and many more nominations,
09:55 this Massachusetts native hasn't seemed to let his A-list status get to his head.
09:59 "In your face, Neil Armstrong."
10:01 Coming from a modest background, the versatile actor always seems to remember where he came from,
10:06 whether he's showing some Boston pride or sticking up for the little guy.
10:10 "Now the politicians are saying, 'Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area,'
10:13 "'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be that kid over there getting shot.'"
10:16 Interviewers have also reported that he is down-to-earth,
10:19 and as they might say on the South Side,
10:21 "My boys are way too smart."
10:23 Number 18. Aaron Paul
10:26 "Oh, nice for coming down."
10:28 "Oh, yeah. How- how's your trip?"
10:30 "Amazing." "It's very good so far."
10:32 From the moment he skyrocketed to fame as the excitable stoner half of TV's favorite meth-making duo,
10:37 Aaron Paul portrayed himself as the kind of celebrity you'd love to hang out with.
10:41 In fact, being able to connect with people has got to be one of Paul's most endearing traits,
10:46 whether he's greeting tour buses full of fans outside his house,
10:49 or delivering audio greeting cards in person.
10:52 "How's it going?"
10:53 "Good, how are you?"
10:54 "I'm good. I'm Aaron."
10:56 "Yeah, I know."
10:57 Fans feel so connected to the former Jesse Pinkman,
11:00 that they wrote a song dedicated to Paul himself when Breaking Bad ended.
11:04 "'Cause Aaron Paul likes having fun, and Aaron Paul loves everyone."
11:12 That kind of love is only reserved for the nicest celebrities.
11:16 Sweet, open, and approachable,
11:18 Aaron Paul seems to have a knack for getting other people involved in his brand of fun.
11:21 "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you."
11:31 Number 17. Jennifer Lawrence
11:33 "And then my heel like slipped, I didn't fall, but I had like a...
11:37 and I made him cut it out of the show."
11:39 After breaking out in a big way,
11:41 the world fell in love with this talented actress.
11:44 She just seems so normal,
11:45 geeking out at her first Oscar gala,
11:47 never taking questions or herself too seriously.
11:51 But that was just an act, right?
11:52 Part of the 'Katniss doesn't play by the rules' persona to help market the Hunger Games perhaps?
11:56 It seems not.
11:58 With this lady, what you see is what you get.
12:00 Sure, it probably doesn't hurt that she's typecast as authentic characters,
12:04 but it's something she could run with in real life.
12:07 "Whoa, hey! What the hell?"
12:11 But if being typecast as real because you are real is wrong,
12:14 who wants to be right?
12:16 "So much crazier than you."
12:18 "Keep your voice down."
12:19 "I'm just the crazy slut with a dead husband."
12:23 Number 16. Steve Buscemi
12:25 "You're one of my favorite actors. Everybody loves you."
12:29 Despite playing a number of villains throughout his legendary career,
12:32 Steve Buscemi is by all accounts the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
12:36 Many fans and acquaintances have relayed positive interactions with Buscemi,
12:40 and he's known to be one of the kindest actors in Hollywood.
12:43 He's also a devoted family man,
12:45 being married to his partner Jo Andres for over 30 years before her tragic death in 2019.
12:50 And unlike most of his characters, Buscemi is a genuine hero,
12:54 anonymously volunteering at his old firehouse in the aftermath of 9/11
12:58 and working 12-hour days to find survivors.
13:01 "The love that was on that site was just something that will stay with me forever."
13:08 Number 15. George Takei
13:10 "It's true. You pronounce it like a Vulcan."
13:12 "I'm Amok."
13:13 "Amok time, exactly."
13:14 He used to be a Trekkie favorite,
13:16 but since taking to social media,
13:18 he's become a beloved household name everywhere.
13:21 Coming from both humble and tragic origins,
13:24 his family was held in Japanese internment camps in America during World War II.
13:28 Takei rose to stardom as helmsman Mr. Sulu on the original Star Trek series.
13:34 But these days, he loves to spend time with his fans.
13:37 He happily answers questions, signs autographs, and is always gracious.
13:42 Not to mention, he is an avid human rights advocate,
13:45 and is not afraid to speak up against injustice when he sees it.
13:49 "But it is not a precedent."
13:51 "It is the most disgraceful chapter of American history."
13:54 Number 14. John Cena
13:57 Before making it big in the WWE,
13:59 John Cena came from humble beginnings in Massachusetts.
14:02 In recent years, it's become clear he hasn't forgotten his roots.
14:05 In fact, he's one of the best examples of a celebrity using their platform for good.
14:09 "I'd like you to be my personal guest tonight at the WWE event at the Rob Lever Arena."
14:13 "I have a bunch of tickets for you and your family."
14:15 From brightening the lives of sick children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
14:19 or traveling across the globe to visit active and wounded troops,
14:22 Cena has made a conscious effort to transform his career into an opportunity to help others.
14:27 "I can't relate to a situation that you guys have been in,
14:29 but I know that there's no truer test of a man's character than when his back is up against the wall."
14:33 While he often makes headlines with his charity work,
14:36 he makes just as much of an impact when the cameras aren't rolling.
14:39 He'll even pay for your groceries.
14:41 Number 13. Eddie Redmayne
14:43 "It's an Obscurus. I need to get going."
14:48 "Find everyone who's escaped before they get hurt."
14:50 Just 'cause you've won an Oscar doesn't mean you don't want to do normal things,
14:54 like run some errands, talk with local shopkeepers, or even deal with a flat tire.
14:58 None of this should be shocking,
15:00 but when you get used to seeing celebs that seem to want to perch on the highest pedestal they can find,
15:05 it's nice to see actors like Eddie Redmayne doing just those things after all the Theory of Everything hoopla.
15:10 "With a single equation, that time had a beginning."
15:14 He's one of those artists that reminds us that when you see their faces on the big screen,
15:18 they are at work.
15:20 It's fun and glamorous, but it's a job.
15:23 And like any job, you still have a life to live around it.
15:27 "Just pull that back."
15:28 "You're pulling her in."
15:30 "Yes!"
15:32 Number 12. Guy Fieri
15:36 "Did you just eat off my playdough?"
15:38 "A little bit."
15:39 This celebrity chef may be known for his frosted tips and epic bowling shirts,
15:43 but it's his relentless devotion to helping others and supporting his community that really stand out.
15:48 In 2015, he officiated a mass wedding ceremony for 101 same-sex couples in Miami.
15:54 During the California wildfire season of 2018,
15:56 he provided thousands of free meals to first responders and evacuees.
16:00 Then, in 2020, he partnered with the Restaurant Employee Relief Fund
16:05 to provide financial support to over 43,000 restaurant workers affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
16:10 "Well, we had a big weekend, so we're happy to announce that we went to 14 million over the weekend."
16:16 Time and time again, Fieri has done everything in his power to stand up for the little guy.
16:21 "You killed it!"
16:22 "Thank you very much."
16:23 "I'm impressed."
16:24 Number 11. Amy Poehler
16:26 Not only is she an amazing comedian and feminist icon,
16:29 but it also turns out that she is really nice and normal in real life.
16:33 This is coming from just about every single person who's ever come in contact with the actress and comedian,
16:39 saying she's funny, gracious and extremely easy to work with.
16:43 Fans got a bit more of this in her sincere, thoughtful and of course hilarious memoir, 'Yes, Please',
16:48 in which she chronicles her life,
16:50 shares stories about friends she made along her way to stardom,
16:53 and doles out practical advice.
16:55 All in all, Amy Poehler is the sort of person you wish were your best friend.
16:59 "I'm barely 34, and I've already landed a Parks Department Exploratory Subcommittee."
17:04 "I'm a rocket ship!"
17:06 Number 10. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson
17:08 "Make this one count."
17:10 "Oooh."
17:11 "Ooooh, no way, that's awesome!"
17:15 "Stop encouraging him."
17:17 If you follow 'The Rock' on any social media platform,
17:20 you know that 1) he works out a lot,
17:22 2) he has an amazing smile,
17:24 and 3) his feed is basically a laundry list of his good deeds.
17:28 "I've got a little surprise for you, honey."
17:30 "Just when you thought the day was gonna be terrible,
17:32 it actually is gonna be the greatest day of your life."
17:35 And that's because Dwayne Johnson is just one of those celebrities you wish were part of your crew.
17:39 Whenever he surprises his fans, he does so in a big way, and usually in style.
17:44 He's also the kind of celebrity that likes to shine a spotlight on kids with amazing stories about overcoming challenges.
17:49 He's so enthusiastic when it comes to his sense of fun and community that it never fails to make us feel good.
17:55 It also never fails to inspire us.
17:57 "Just wanted to tell you I appreciate your strength, and I appreciate you inspiring not only me, man, but millions of people,
18:03 and, um, it's really a pleasure talking to you."
18:06 Number 9. Ed Sheeran
18:08 "He was my best mate growing up!"
18:09 "You kidding?"
18:10 This pop star definitely has the talent and the fan base to be a major celebrity,
18:15 but he'd rather just chill on the farm and watch football.
18:17 Ed Sheeran is a boring dude, and we mean that in the best possible way.
18:21 He's currently raising a family with his wife, Cherry Seaborn,
18:24 whom he has known since their childhood in sleepy Framlingham.
18:28 While he's not touring or recording music,
18:30 Sheeran is simply spending time with his family in their country estate and watching the nearby football club Ipswich Town.
18:36 And despite his massive fame, Sheeran still feels like an imposter at industry events and award shows,
18:42 saying, quote, "I never really feel like I fit in."
18:44 "I actually find this really, really difficult being away, and I'm only away for like four days."
18:49 Number 8. Jeff Goldblum
18:51 "Yes. That's lovely. Very good. You've just relayed electricity."
18:57 Most of us know Jeff Goldblum is a bit of a strange guy, and definitely a fun-loving guy,
19:02 but he's also a nice guy.
19:04 When signing fan autographs, not only is Goldblum unafraid to respond in kind to his fans' declaration of undying love,
19:10 he also makes a point of making direct eye contact with each and every one of them.
19:14 He doesn't shy away from making grand gestures to complete strangers either,
19:23 like when he met Anna Kendrick for the first time.
19:25 "The very formal Jeffrey had dipped me before even saying hello."
19:30 But you know what else makes him seem like an accessible celebrity?
19:33 He's not afraid to tackle more intimate and engaging interview questions head-on.
19:37 "That's wildly sensual, which does something to a corresponding deep and interesting part of me."
19:44 "Some disengaging."
19:45 For us, what makes Jeff Goldblum irresistibly nice is his utterly unrestricted charm.
19:51 "Falling in love with me, the little, the little putian. This is me as the Gulliver Goldblum."
19:58 "20 Goldblums."
19:59 "20, 20, full 20 Goldblums. Sam Neill, thank you."
20:02 Best known for his breakout role as Harry Potter,
20:09 Daniel Radcliffe has been taking on some interesting roles since hanging up his wand.
20:14 Despite being one of the most recognizable people of his generation,
20:17 Radcliffe seems to have stayed pretty normal,
20:20 due in large part, it seems, to the fact that he never takes himself very seriously.
20:24 Whether he's mocking his own status as a superstar,
20:27 taking part in elaborate pranks,
20:29 or accepting movie roles that might make others gag,
20:32 he's still the chosen one to us.
20:35 "But I am the chosen one. Okay, sorry."
20:38 "The hose here, that's the shower. Nice."
20:47 George Clooney's usual vibe is one of dignity and reserve,
20:50 but deep down, you just know this Kentucky native loves to laugh and have a good time.
20:54 Clooney doesn't shy away from getting personal with his fans,
20:57 even if that means breaking his composure or the occasional red carpet barricade.
21:01 "But he was still jazzed about playing Wednesday with George Clooney."
21:05 "It was fun. He still got it."
21:07 Of course, on the more serious side of things,
21:09 he's a major activist and humanitarian, which you have to respect.
21:13 In fact, he's well known for his heart of gold and compassion.
21:16 But like we said, when he's not busy trying to save the world,
21:19 Clooney likes to let loose with his co-stars and celebrity pals,
21:22 either through a good-natured prank or some gentle joshing.
21:25 "What do you never leave the house with?"
21:28 "Socks."
21:29 "Socks."
21:30 Despite being one of the highest paid actresses in the world by the age of 28,
21:40 this Academy Award winner has not forgotten about others.
21:44 "I want to show her perspective, so people might understand what it's like from your side."
21:48 It'd be easy to point out how charming she is, or how slick her mad lip-syncing skills are.
21:53 But the moment that nabbed her spot on this list has got to be the infamous paparazzi signs.
21:58 After noting that they were being tailed by photographers,
22:01 'Stone' and 'Amazing Spider-Man' co-star Andrew Garfield decided to put their star power to good use,
22:07 with 'Stone' quickly making signs to direct people's attention to charities and organizations
22:12 that could use more attention than them.
22:14 Number 4 - Hugh Jackman
22:16 "You have a reputation as Mr. Nice Guy. Is that a terrible millstone to carry around?"
22:21 "Uh, I don't know. It gives worse labels."
22:24 Considering how he talks about his co-stars and colleagues,
22:27 as well as his undeniable sweetness with his fans,
22:29 it's no wonder Hugh Jackman has been labeled one of Hollywood's nicest guys.
22:33 "Mate, you are awesome. It is so great to meet you. I've met a lot of fans over the years.
22:37 You are, you're one of my favorites."
22:39 We'll admit, celebrities surprising fans is not an uncommon move in Hollywood,
22:43 but for some reason, it's just super endearing when Hugh does it.
22:46 Oh, and how about this?
22:47 While interacting with a crying fan,
22:49 Jackman made her and everyone watching feel at ease with a group selfie.
22:52 "Come on, Roxie. Show us who you're with."
22:54 And he even made sure not to leave out the ET reporter interviewing him.
23:00 Jeez, it truly seems like Jackman is nice to everyone.
23:03 Even the reporter he embarrassed by recounting the time he'd spent teaching him at school in England.
23:08 "You guys don't know that, but this man here...
23:10 Yes, I used to teach him at Uppingham School in London.
23:14 Yes, that's right. How is your education going?"
23:17 "Oh, it's going great."
23:17 "Can I set you up for life?"
23:18 "Oh, yes, definitely."
23:20 Number 3 - Dave Grohl
23:21 "Celebrate me!"
23:23 Considered one of the coolest people in the music industry,
23:26 here's a musician who knows how to keep it real.
23:29 He's had this reputation for over 20 years, so it's safe to say it's legit.
23:34 Foo Fighters founder and frontman Dave Grohl has consistently been called funny and easygoing,
23:39 not to mention a down-to-earth dad.
23:42 "You drive your kids to school every single morning, and then you play music."
23:47 Also, he gives often to charity, has been known to leave $1,000 tips,
23:52 and even performs in the garages of ardent fans as a strong advocate of garage bands himself.
23:58 Plus, if he promises a show, he gives a damn show, even if his leg's broken.
24:04 He's basically a normal guy living an extraordinary life, and he seems all too happy to give back.
24:10 "Looking for a complication, looking 'cause I'm tired of trying."
24:16 Number 2 - Tom Hanks
24:18 Tom Hanks is the type of guy that makes kindness look cool.
24:22 And seriously, it's nigh impossible to find any negative fan testimonial about him.
24:26 People consistently rave about how nice and grounded he is.
24:30 It's hard not to love a celebrity who appreciates a good selfie just as much as the next person.
24:34 "What's your name?" "Ryan." "Ryan, you're a lucky man!"
24:39 But besides crashing random weddings, posing for hilarious photo series with fans in restaurants,
24:44 and randomly getting his name shanted by tens of thousands of people at a basketball game,
24:49 Hanks also seems to be the best husband known to man,
24:52 as he is constantly gushing about his wife Rita Wilson.
24:55 "She could've done better, but man oh man, I'm no dope." "Oh stop, you guys are perfect."
24:59 Humble, grateful, and compassionate, Tom Hanks gives us every reason to love and respect him.

25:21 Number 1 - Keanu Reeves
25:23 "I can see why she likes you." "Who?" "Not too bright though."
25:29 So much more than a seemingly ageless pretty face,
25:32 the chosen one of The Matrix is also one of the kindest, most sensible people in Hollywood.
25:38 For years, fans have reported on how warm and friendly he is upon meeting them.
25:43 But more than that, he goes out of his way to interact with and help people.
25:47 "You're doing the movie! You're doing the detectives!" "Excellent!"
25:53 In 1997, he famously spent the day talking, sharing food, and hanging out with a man without a house,
25:59 just to be a decent human being. Never on a high horse,
26:03 he's been known to offer seats and assistance to those in need while taking public transportation,
26:08 proving you're never too famous to be a good person.
26:12 "You just say it's fun, it's just part of life." "I mean, in that kind of aspect, absolutely."
