00:00You are the future and we need kindness, so please keep spreading this word, okay?
00:05Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 nicest celebrities.
00:11Well, tonight you're going to be a WWE superstar with me on Monday Night Raw.
00:15So I want to thank you very much. I'm a huge fan.
00:18You gave him $4,000? Are you sure to punch him in the head?
00:22Luke, I am your father.
00:26No, that's impossible. You can't be Dad Vader.
00:32How are you, man?
00:33For this list, we'll be looking at celebrities who have reputations for being overly kind and
00:38gracious to their fans and others. This time around, we're excluding famous people who have
00:43passed away. Ever met a super nice celebrity we didn't mention? Let us know in the comments.
00:50Number 20, Adam Sandler.
00:52Whether you like his movies or not, one thing that can be said about Adam Sandler
00:56is that he's a genuinely nice guy.
00:58Kevin Garnett's ring, championship ring, NBA 2008. I knew you'd freak out.
01:03All right, I love you, my boy.
01:05Despite his often radical demeanor on screen,
01:08his real-world persona tends to be far more reserved than you would expect.
01:12He's a very selfless player. He likes to pass. It's awesome.
01:16He's been seen on numerous occasions taking time out to talk to his fans or take photos,
01:21all while remaining down-to-earth.
01:23My heart just dropped. I was just like, there's no way that was him. I spoke to Adam Sandler,
01:26and I told him he was 30 minutes, and he left.
01:28Even Hollywood superstars like Jennifer Aniston have spoken about how great a guy Sandler is.
01:34I hear each of you individually talking about the other in such fond terminology.
01:39Yeah.
01:40Very, she's the best.
01:41We must have been like real family in another life.
01:44Given how successful he's become, both as a comedian and now a dramatic actor,
01:49we have to admire how grounded he's remained.
01:51I wouldn't rain my voice, Mama. I don't like confrontations. I'm a Virgo.
01:57Number 19, Paul Rudd.
01:59He's been the subject of countless memes about how he never seems to age.
02:03Look at us.
02:04Hey, look at us.
02:06Look at us.
02:06Who would have thought?
02:07Not me.
02:08And yet, with all the attention the guy has received,
02:11Paul Rudd is still someone who remains clearly in the nice guy column.
02:15Are we the good guys?
02:16Yeah.
02:16We're the good guys, man.
02:17Yeah, we're the good guys.
02:18In virtually every interview with the Ant-Man star,
02:21you see someone who is so down-to-earth you'd swear he's just like your favorite uncle.
02:26Always polite, smiling, cracking jokes, and putting you at ease,
02:29he's someone that everyone out there seems to connect with.
02:32I wanted you to have a good time.
02:34Oh, I had a great time. Are you kidding me? It was awesome. It was great.
02:36But I assume they're disasters because that's in most of the interviews I do.
02:39It's no wonder he's been able to slide into some of the world's biggest franchises,
02:44such as Friends and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
02:47Marta Kaufman and Jennifer Aniston and Marta Kaufman, the creator of the show,
02:50just holding onto each other, having this really amazing moment.
02:52And I would go over and go, what a ride, right?
02:56Number 18, Shaquille O'Neal.
02:58Considered one of the best players in basketball history,
03:02Shaquille O'Neal, or Shaq as he's known, is more than just a big guy who shoots hoops.
03:12From video games to wrestling to sports commentary,
03:15he's a guy who's had his hands in many pies.
03:20However, despite his massive popularity,
03:22he's remained someone who continues to appreciate his fans
03:25and to give something back to the world he's a part of.
03:28700 million. You know how I made that?
03:31Respecting my peers, listening to my mommy and daddy, and focusing on school.
03:35Whether it's taking time to shoot hoops with some local kids or help out strangers
03:40in paying their bills, his generosity is as large as his physical stature.
03:44Whenever I leave the house, I just try to do a good deed.
03:47Number 17, Mark Hamill.
03:49What's that guy's name who was in that movie with all the laser swords?
03:53That would be Mark Hamill, and let's face it, he's awesome.
03:59Despite a long filmography spanning both television and film,
04:03Mark has always been synonymous with his iconic role of Luke Skywalker.
04:07This is unbelievable. I'm sorry I missed your birthday.
04:10Where some might have been put off from the zealous attention of fans,
04:14Hamill has embraced his legacy and charmed his many followers.
04:18Force is strong with this one, so let me go.
04:21Hello everyone.
04:25He's always shown love for his fans and has never been afraid to poke fun at himself
04:29or the world around him.
04:30One of the best moments of my life.
04:33Whether it's surprise appearances or on-topic tweets, he's a Jedi we can all get behind.
04:39Number 16, Denzel Washington.
04:41You're just walking in. Come on, turn around and be in the show.
04:44In today's modern world of film, it's easy to get lost in all of the special effects
04:48and over-the-top action found in so much cinema.
04:54But Denzel Washington is an actor who has brought a sense of old Hollywood grace and
04:59dignity to all of his on-screen personas.
05:02The same can also be said about the man himself.
05:05She gave me my first library card when I was seven.
05:11Is that right?
05:11And she, yeah, right, exactly.
05:14And she remembered me and she said, you'd get the little skinny books.
05:18I said, oh, yeah, it was me.
05:19Always well-spoken and kind to his fans, he's the kind of person that defines the word gentleman.
05:25I might be doing a movie with you soon, man.
05:27All right.
05:27You might be a bit surprised to see his clever sense of humor.
05:31That was Denzel Washington, yo.
05:32But that just makes him all the more likable to the rest of us.
05:35This Denzel is far too nice.
05:37Ain't all that nice.
05:38You saw a training day.
05:39Number 15, Dave Grohl.
05:41In the early days of his career, Dave Grohl was merely the drummer for a band called Nirvana.
05:46Since then, however, Grohl has gone on to become one of the most well-known musicians
05:50of the 21st century.
05:52Long time ago, I was the drummer for a band called Nirvana.
05:55Dave Grohl is one of the most well-known musicians of the 21st century.
05:59Long time, no see, Dave.
06:00How are you doing?
06:00How are you?
06:01I'm good.
06:01How are you?
06:02Good.
06:02How are you doing?
06:03I'm back.
06:04You gotta be kidding me.
06:05Yet it's not just his talent that has made an impression on his fans.
06:08You want to do a Metallica song?
06:10All right.
06:12Do I know a lot of Metallica songs?
06:14A quick search on YouTube will yield countless videos of Grohl interacting with his fans
06:18both on the streets and even in the middle of his concerts.
06:21Happy birthday to you.
06:24Happy birthday to you.
06:27He's a grounded guy who loves his mom, loves his fans, and loves sharing his passion with
06:32everyone.
06:33L-C-I-X-N-Y.
06:37Number 14.
06:39Jennifer Garner.
06:40Audiences learned who Jennifer Garner was when we saw her play Sidney Bristow on ABC's
06:45Alias.
06:46We quickly found ourselves both enamored and a little bit intimidated by her secret agent
06:51persona.
06:52However, it didn't take viewers very long to find out what kind of person Garner was
06:57off screen.
06:58Real women who are smart and pretty and happy to be who they are.
07:01These are the women to look up to.
07:03A dedicated mom and an always cordial interviewee, she's also been described as a domestic
07:08goddess.
07:09No matter what, moms stop being fun all the time.
07:13We just like kind of turn into a drag just being like, do you have your socks on?
07:18It's hard not to love someone who can afford to pay someone else to make their food, but
07:21does it themselves from scratch.
07:23I burn these about half the time, so I've grown to love the taste of them a little burn.
07:27She's genuine to everyone around her and beyond.
07:30Number 13.
07:31Benedict Cumberbatch.
07:32Get down here and fight.
07:37Much like many others on this list, Benedict Cumberbatch is someone who has a real appreciation
07:42for his fans.
07:43Hey, how you doing?
07:44How's it going?
07:44I'm all right.
07:45How are you?
07:46Often actors can get caught up in their fame and forget the fact that it's the audience
07:49that gave them the notoriety in the first place.
07:51Benedict has been seen on numerous occasions taking breaks from his scenes to chat with
07:58fans.
07:58He even went outside at Comic-Con to talk to the people who had been waiting in line
08:02overnight.
08:03How long have you been?
08:04All day.
08:05Can I go talk to them?
08:07And there was lots of sort of flirty looks between the security going, I know, I mean,
08:10that's, we can make it work if you really want to.
08:13I was like, yeah, hell do I do?
08:14I want to meet the people that make all this possible.
08:16Despite his massive successes, he's a celebrity who acknowledges and embraces the fan base
08:20that helped get him where he is today.
08:22If the movie doesn't work out, and if bombs can like, come and work with you guys at least...
08:25Listen, we could always use a good guy.
08:27Number 12.
08:28Kelly Clarkson.
08:29Get down here and fight.
08:30Much like many others on this list, Benedict Cumberbatch is someone who has a real appreciation
08:33Audiences across the world watched her star rise on American Idol.
08:37Hello, Kelly.
08:38Hello.
08:39How old are you?
08:40I'm a big fan of you.
08:41From there, she became a musical force to be reckoned with and arguably one of the best
08:44things to come out of the talent show.
08:46Impromptu, count of three.
08:48Just weird.
08:49Okay.
08:50Okay.
08:51One, two, three.
08:52Yet, somehow, throughout her rise in popularity, this Texas native has remained as steady as
08:57the hand of a surgeon.
08:58She has been cited repeatedly as being one of the nicest people in Hollywood.
09:02And it would really be an honor if you could sign it.
09:05Oh, it would be an honor.
09:06I will cry right now.
09:07All you need to do is watch any episode of her talk show to see how genuine of a soul
09:12she really is.
09:13This is my favorite girl in the world.
09:18From fans to colleagues and beyond, everyone experiences the same Kelly, which makes her
09:23that much more alluring.
09:25Number 11, Tom Hiddleston.
09:28He's not the first Marvel actor on this list, and he will not be the last.
09:33Fans got their first real taste of Tom Hiddleston when he appeared as Loki in 2011's Thor.
09:37All of us must stand together for the good of Asgard.
09:42Since then, he's gone on to become one of the most adored actors in the MCU, even spawning
09:47a hit Disney Plus show dedicated to the character.
09:49Amber, nice to meet you.
09:52As conflicted as Loki might be, there's nothing to be misunderstood about Hiddleston's
09:56love of his fans and his colleagues.
09:58So you, you've never been on the show.
10:03He always seems willing to engage with his followers and show appreciation for what they
10:07mean to him.
10:08I am Loki of Asgard.
10:14His appearance at Comic-Con cemented his image as that of someone who is willing to go all
10:19the way for his fans.
10:20Say my name.
10:24Say my name.
10:26Say my name.
10:27Say my name.
10:29Say my name.
10:32Number 10.
10:33Chris Evans.
10:34One of the things the MCU has consistently gotten right is casting.
10:38You just don't know when to give up, do you?
10:40I could do this all day.
10:42Time and time again, they've shown their merit by picking the absolute perfect person for
10:46their biggest heroes.
10:47I think the safest thing to do would be scream Hail Hydra.
10:51Hail Hydra.
10:52Hail Hydra.
10:53That's the best you got.
10:55Captain America is the embodiment of the so-called good guy.
10:58Some people say I could do this all day, some people say I can do this all day.
11:03I don't know which line it is.
11:06No one could be better suited for the man with the shield than Chris Evans.
11:14On more than one occasion, the actor has shown himself to be as much of a hero as his red,
11:18white, and blue character.
11:19Which one's Kenny?
11:20Me.
11:21This is Kenny.
11:22Hi.
11:23How are you man?
11:24I'm Chris.
11:25Hi.
11:26Good to meet you.
11:27He's donated to countless charities, visited sick kids in the hospital, and has been seen
11:30several times on award shows being a perfect gentleman.
11:34Chris Evans is possibly even more of a nice guy than his Captain America persona.
11:38I made a fort.
11:39Yay.
11:40I want to make a fort.
11:41Everyone out.
11:42Just me and the kids are making a fort.
11:43Number nine, John Cena.
11:45If one thing can be said about professional wrestlers, it's this.
11:49The mere look of them can be incredibly intimidating.
11:51You're extremely strong, you know that?
11:53As one of the WWE's top performers, John Cena is a guy most of us would never want
11:58to mess with.
11:59That is, until you see him with his fans.
12:06A notable advocate for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Cena has been giving back to his fans since
12:10the beginning.
12:11I see you.
12:12Nobody can see me.
12:13That's my whole thing.
12:14I saw you.
12:15You saw me?
12:16Yes.
12:17I saw you coming.
12:18Time and time again, we see how much he adores every one of his fans, and goes out of his
12:22way to be there for them.
12:33Just go watch some of his fan interactions on YouTube and try not to get teary-eyed.
12:36How about you and your family be my guest tonight at Monday Night Raw?
12:42Is that okay?
12:43Sounds like a deal?
12:45Number eight, Emma Stone.
12:47One of the surefire ways to spot the more genuine and down-to-earth people from Hollywood
12:51is how they react to their own heroes.
12:53It was Leonardo DiCaprio.
12:54Oh man, you can't beat Leonardo DiCaprio.
12:57Who is Jack from Titanic.
12:59Watching Emma Stone completely lose herself when she thinks she's going to meet a Spice
13:03Girl on Graham Norton is enough to win all of us over.
13:06It is very rare for more than one Spice Girl to appear together for any reason.
13:15She's more real than most from Tinseltown, and endears us even more so by her sheer awkward
13:21ness on countless occasions.
13:29There's nothing about her that appears phoned in or artificial.
13:39She's real with fans, real with the press, and just real with everyone.
13:43And that's why she's adored.
13:50Number seven, Emilia Clarke.
13:52She rode dragons around Westeros in Game of Thrones.
13:55She fought off the deadly attacks of Skynet in Terminator Genisys.
14:02Yet to see Emilia Clarke off screen, you'd be shocked by how much of a sweetheart she
14:06really is.
14:07It's utterly adorable to see how cute and intimidated she is sitting with Matt LeBlanc
14:11from Friends on the Graham Norton show.
14:19Between these little bits and countless interviews with the actress, it's easy to see how authentic
14:24and true she is.
14:32Throw in how she's handled her health scares with Grace, and you've got a queen who can
14:36kill them with kindness.
14:44Number six, Dolly Parton.
14:46When it comes to that warm, southern personality, there's no real competition to Dolly Parton.
14:53At 75 years old, she's still doing shows, still talking to fans, and is still as delightful
14:59as always.
15:00She's a true rags-to-riches story, but you'd never guess it from the way she treats everyone
15:05around her.
15:14As someone who is recognized the world over, you'd swear she was just the nice neighbor
15:18down the street.
15:19Forever a southern charmer, Dolly treats her fans like family.
15:30As an artist with more than 40 albums under her belt, she's shown that no amount of fame
15:35can eclipse a golden heart.
15:45Number five, Ryan Reynolds.
15:46Did you know that if you look up the term meta in the dictionary, there's a photo of
15:50Ryan Reynolds there?
15:51Okay, maybe not, but there should be.
15:59Reynolds has made a career out of self-deprecating humor.
16:02In doing so, he disarms anyone who talks to him, meets him, or has any interaction with
16:07him.
16:08His willingness to give back is seen more recently with his visits to sick kids in full
16:11Deadpool garb.
16:13With all the love he gives to his fans, it's even more impressive how he shows the same
16:17for his wife and kids.
16:29He's a merc with a mouth on screen, but a hero to the hearts of many off screen.
16:44Number four, Hugh Jackman.
16:49He may have played a cigar-smoking, three-clawed mutant for 17 years, but Hugh Jackman is pretty
16:55far removed from Wolverine.
16:57He is yet another entry on this list that shows us a far more serious side in film,
17:02yet such laughter and kindness in the real world.
17:14He's been generous both with his time and money through countless fundraising events
17:17for charity.
17:24But above all that, he's been a man who connects with his fans on many levels.
17:31Whether it be personal appearances or interviews, Jackman makes it clear he's just another
17:36guy you could sit down and have a coffee with.
17:43Number three, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
17:46Quick, name five wrestlers that became huge movie stars.
17:50Dwayne Johnson is probably one of the only ones on your list.
18:00Not only has he become such a bankable star in Hollywood, his real world persona has become
18:04just as popular.
18:09We can't help but laugh at the countless interviews and blooper reels showing off his
18:13laughter, especially when Kevin Hart is involved.
18:21Then our hearts just melt when we see him singing as Maui with his real-life daughter.
18:31He's always cordial and happy to meet and greet his fans, even when he's just driving
18:35his car.
18:42It's truly touching to see such a huge star be so real with the people who put him there.
18:47Number two, Tom Hanks.
18:56Similar to a previous entry on this list, Tom Hanks is another example of an actor who
19:00brings a full spectrum of talent to their roles.
19:14Yet as big of a star as he's become, he's yet another entry on this list that we can't
19:18help but smile at.
19:24With all of the lovable characters he's played, it's easy to assume he's just as
19:28nice in person.
19:33It just so happens that in this case, it's the literal truth.
19:39Fans love him not just for his on-screen characters, but for the person behind the camera.
19:49Before we unveil our number one pick, here are some honorable mentions.
19:53Tom Holland.
19:54He's more like Peter Parker than you'd think.
20:01Chris Pratt.
20:02This is no Andy Dwyer in real life.
20:18Jim Carrey.
20:19Nowhere near as maniacal as his signature characters.
20:34LeBron James.
20:35Always available for time with his fans.

20:47Not afraid to poke a bit of fun at himself.

21:15Keanu Reeves.
21:20Ignore any memes you may have seen about sad Keanu.
21:27There's a good reason why Keanu Reeves is number one on this list.
21:31Above all else, this Canadian actor has always kept both feet planted firmly on the ground.
21:44A man without ego, he's shown far more appreciation and gratitude to all who come
21:49into and surround his life.
21:58Whether it's giving up his seat on a subway, being respectful to his female fans, or even
22:03sitting down to chat with a homeless person, what hasn't this guy done to show his genuine
22:08kindness?
22:19We say those sad memes should be changed to glad.
22:22Do you agree with our picks?
