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.
00:49Number 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 he's that awesome. 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 read 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.
02:15We're 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 just 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 on to 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
03:38or help out strangers in paying their bills,
03:41his 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.
04:25He's always shown love for his fans
04:27and has never been afraid to poke fun at himself or the world around him.
04:30One of the best moments of my life.
04:33Whether it's surprise appearances or on-topic tweets,
04:36he's a Jedi we can all get behind.
04:39Number 16, Denzel Washington.
04:41He's just walking in. Come on, turn around and be in the show.
04:44In today's modern world of film,
04:46it'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
04:56who has brought a sense of old Hollywood grace and dignity
04:59to all of his on-screen personas.
05:02Denzel is the easiest one to ask us about.
05:04Denzel is the easiest one to ask us about.
05:07The same can also be said about the man himself.
05:09She gave me my first library card when I was seven.
05:15Is that right?
05:16And she, yeah, right, exactly.
05:18And she remembered me and she said,
05:21you'd get the little skinny books.
05:22I said, oh yeah, it was me.
05:24Always well-spoken and kind to his fans,
05:26he's the kind of person that defines the word gentleman.
05:29I might be doing a movie with you soon, man.
05:32Yeah, for sure.
05:32I'll see you at work.
05:33You might be a bit surprised to see his clever sense of humor.
05:36That was Denzel Washington, yo.
05:37But that just makes him all the more likable to the rest of us.
05:40Denzel is far too nice.
05:42You know I'm not nice.
05:43You saw a training day.
05:44Number 15, Dave Grohl.
05:46In the early days of his career,
05:48Dave Grohl was merely the drummer for a band called Nirvana.
05:52Since then, however, Grohl has gone on to become
05:54one of the most well-known musicians of the 21st century.
05:57Long time no see, Dave.
05:58How you doing?
05:58How are you?
05:59I'm fine, you?
06:00Good.
06:01I'm back.
06:02God, you gotta be kidding me.
06:03Yet it's not just his talent that has made an impression on his fans.
06:06You want to do a Metallica song?
06:09All right.
06:10Do I know a lot of Metallica songs?
06:12A quick search on YouTube will yield countless videos of Grohl
06:15interacting with his fans both on the streets
06:18and even in the middle of his concerts.
06:20Happy birthday to you.
06:24Happy birthday to you.
06:27He's a grounded guy who loves his mom,
06:30loves his fans, and loves sharing his passion with everyone.
06:37Number 14, Jennifer Garner.
06:40Audiences learned who Jennifer Garner was
06:42when we saw her play Sidney Bristow on ABC's Alias.
06:49We quickly found ourselves both enamored
06:52and a little bit intimidated by her secret agent persona.
06:55However, it didn't take viewers very long to find out
06:58what kind of person Garner was off screen.
07:00Real women who are smart and pretty and happy to be who they are,
07:04these are the women to look up to.
07:05A dedicated mom and an always cordial interviewee,
07:09she's also been described as a domestic goddess.
07:12No matter what, moms stop being fun all the time.
07:15We just like kind of turn into a drag just being like,
07:18do you have your socks on?
07:20It's hard not to love someone who can afford to pay someone else
07:22to make their food but does it themselves from scratch.
07:25I burn these about half the time,
07:27so I've grown to love the taste of them a little burn.
07:29She's genuine to everyone around her and beyond.
07:32Number 13, Benedict Cumberbatch.
07:40Much like many others on this list,
07:42Benedict Cumberbatch is someone who has a real appreciation for his fans.
07:49Often actors can get caught up in their fame
07:51and forget the fact that it's the audience
07:52that gave them the notoriety in the first place.
07:55Benedict has been seen on numerous occasions
08:00taking breaks from his scenes to chat with fans.
08:02He even went outside at Comic-Con to talk to the people
08:05who had been waiting in line overnight to come to his panel.
08:07What, so how long have they been? All day.
08:09Can I go and talk to them?
08:10And there was lots of sort of fursive looks between the security going on.
08:14I mean, that's, we can make it work if you really want to.
08:16I was like, yeah, hell do I do.
08:18I want to meet the people that make all this possible.
08:20Despite his massive successes,
08:22he's a celebrity who acknowledges and embraces the fan base
08:25that helped get him where he is today.
08:26If the movie doesn't work out and it bombs,
08:28can I come and work with you guys at least?
08:29Listen, we could always use a good guy.
08:31Number 12, Kelly Clarkson.
08:33Audiences across the world watched her star rise on American Idol.
08:37Hello, Kelly.
08:38Hello.
08:38How old are you?
08:39I'm a big fan of you.
08:40From there, she became a musical force to be reckoned with
08:43and arguably one of the best things to come out of the talent show.
08:46Impromptu, count of three.
08:47Okay.
08:48Just weird.
08:48Okay, okay.
08:50One, two, three.
08:52Yet somehow throughout her rise in popularity,
08:54this Texas native has remained as steady as the hand of a surgeon.
08:58She's 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.
09:04Oh, 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
09:10to see how genuine of a soul she really is.
09:13This is my favorite girl in the world.
09:18From fans to colleagues and beyond,
09:20everyone experiences the same Kelly,
09:22which makes her that much more alluring.
09:25Number 11, Tom Hiddleston.
09:28He's not the first Marvel actor on this list,
09:30and he will not be the last.
09:32Fans got their first real taste of Tom Hiddleston
09:34when he appeared as Loki in 2011's Thor.
09:37All of us must stand together for the good of Asgard.
09:41Since then, he's gone on to become one of the most adored actors in the MCU,
09:46even spawning a hit Disney Plus show dedicated to the character.
09:49Amber, nice to meet you.
09:52As conflicted as Loki might be,
09:54there's nothing to be misunderstood
09:55about Hiddleston's love of his fans and his colleagues.
09:58For you, for you, you've never been on the show.
10:03He always seems willing to engage with his followers
10:06and show appreciation for what they mean to him.
10:08I am Loki.
10:13Of Asgard.
10:14His appearance at Comic-Con cemented his image
10:17as that of someone who is willing to go all the way for his fans.
10:20Say my name.
10:24Say my name.
10:26Say my name!
10:28Say my name!
10:32Number 10, Chris 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?
10:41I can do this all day.
10:42Time and time again, they've shown their merit
10:44by picking the absolute perfect person for their biggest heroes.
10:47I think the safest thing to do would be scream Hail Hydra.
10:51Hail Hydra.
10:54That'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.
11:01Some people say I can do this all day.
11:03I don't know which mind it is.
11:06No one could be better suited for the man with the shield than Chris Evans.
11:10Thank you.
11:14On more than one occasion, the actor has shown himself to be
11:16as much of a hero as his red, white, and blue character.
11:19Which one's Kenny?
11:21Me.
11:21This is Kenny.
11:22Hi.
11:23How are you, man? I'm Chris.
11:25Good to meet you.
11:26He's donated to countless charities, visited sick kids in the hospital,
11:29and has been seen several 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.
11:39I want to make a fort.
11:41Everyone out.
11:42Just me and the kids are making a fort.
11:43Number 9.
11:44John Cena.
11:45If one thing can be said about professional wrestlers, it's this.
11:48The 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,
11:56John Cena is a guy most of us would never want to mess with.
11:59That is, until you see him with his fans.
12:01Some kind of aggraflation, Cena.
12:03Somebody get back here!
12:06A notable advocate for the Make-A-Wish Foundation,
12:08Cena has been giving back to his fans since the beginning.
12:11I see you.
12:13Nobody can see me.
12:14That's my whole thing.
12:14I saw you.
12:15You saw me?
12:16Yes, I saw you coming.
12:17Time and time again, we see how much he adores every one of his fans,
12:21and goes out of his way to be there for them.
12:23Ladies and gentlemen, this is KJ, and the champ is here!
12:32The cramp.
12:32Just go watch some of his fan interactions on YouTube and try not to get teary-eyed.
12:37How about you and your family be my guests tonight at Monday Night Raw?
12:41Oh!
12:42Is that okay?
12:43Sounds like a deal?
12:45Number 8.
12:46Emma 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.
12:55Oh man, you can't be Leonardo DiCaprio.
12:56Who is Jack from Titanic.
12:58Watching Emma Stone completely lose herself when she thinks she's going to meet a Spice Girl
13:03on Graham Norton is enough to win all of us over.
13:06It's very rare for more than one Spice Girl to appear together for any reason.
13:15She's more real than most from Tinseltown,
13:18and endears us even more so by her sheer awkwardness on countless occasions.
13:22Damien certainly wants to hug not me!
13:26Okay.
13:27You gotta choreograph that stuff.
13:29There's nothing about her that appears phoned in or artificial.
13:32My little brother's my favorite person that's ever lived of all time.
13:35I love him so much.
13:36And...
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 7.
13:50Emilia Clarke.
13:52She rode dragons around Westeros in Game of Thrones.
13:55She fought off the deadly attacks of Skynet in Terminator Genisys.
13:59Nice try.
14:01Run!
14:02Yet to see Emilia Clarke off screen,
14:04you'd be shocked by how much of a sweetheart she really is.
14:07It's utterly adorable to see how cute and intimidated she is
14:10sitting with Matt LeBlanc from Friends on the Graham Norton show.
14:13Did you get to chat with everyone backstage?
14:16Yeah, kind of.
14:17Did you get to talk to him?
14:18Yeah, kind of.
14:19Between these little bits and countless interviews with the actress,
14:22it's easy to see how authentic and true she is.
14:25People ask me for autographs.
14:26Nine times out of ten, I'm writing some kind of a personalized note
14:31because I appreciate that.
14:32Throw in how she's handled her health scares with Grace,
14:35and you've got a queen who can kill them with kindness.
14:44Number 6.
14:44Dolly Parton.
14:46When it comes to that warm, southern personality,
14:48there's no real competition to Dolly Parton.
14:51Are you having fun so far?
14:53At 75 years old, she's still doing shows,
14:56still talking to fans, and is still as delightful as always.
15:00She's a true rags-to-riches story,
15:02but you'd never guess it from the way she treats everyone around her.
15:05But I am just so proud of my mom and dad.
15:08They did such a good job raising a house full of young'uns.
15:11I know a lot of you folks can relate to hard times.
15:14As someone who is recognized the world over,
15:16you'd swear she was just the nice neighbor down 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,
15:33she's shown that no amount of fame can eclipse a golden heart.
15:44Number 5.
15:45Ryan Reynolds.
15:46Did you know that if you look up the term meta in the dictionary,
15:49there's a photo of Ryan 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,
16:05meets him, or has any interaction with him.
16:07His willingness to give back is seen more recently
16:09with his visits to sick kids in full Deadpool garb.
16:13With all the love he gives to his fans,
16:15it's even more impressive how he shows the same for his wife and kids.
16:29He's a merc with a mouth on screen,
16:31but a hero to the hearts of many off-screen.
16:33You went all the way to the end for your fans,
16:35why is it important for you to stop and take that shot?
16:37Well, I don't know, I'd be, I'd be pretty pissed
16:39if I was standing out here all night
16:40and you're like, the actor's just like,
16:42just casually cruised on past.
16:44Number 4.
16:45Hugh Jackman.
16:49He may have played a cigar-smoking,
16:51three-clawed mutant for 17 years,
16:53but Hugh Jackman is pretty far removed from Wolverine.
16:57He is yet another entry on this list
16:59that shows us a far more serious side in film,
17:02yet such laughter and kindness in the real world.
17:13He's been generous both with his time and money
17:16through countless fundraising events for charity.
17:24But above all that,
17:25he's been a man who connects with his fans on many levels.
17:29Whether it be personal appearances or interviews,
17:32Jackman makes it clear he's just another guy
17:34you could sit down and have a coffee with.
17:40Number 3.
17:41Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
17:43Quick, name five wrestlers that became huge movie stars.
17:47Dwayne Johnson is probably one of the only ones on your list.
17:58Not only has he become such a bankable star in Hollywood,
18:02his real-world persona has become just as popular.
18:09We can't help but laugh at the countless interviews and blooper reels
18:13showing off his laughter,
18:14especially when Kevin Hart is involved.
18:21Then our hearts just melt when we see him singing as Maui
18:24with his real-life daughter.
18:29You're welcome.
18:30You're welcome.
18:31He's always cordial and happy to meet and greet his fans,
18:34even when he's just driving his car.
18:42It's truly touching to see such a huge star
18:44be so real with the people who put him there.
18:47Number 2.
18:48Tom Hanks.
18:56Similar to a previous entry on this list,
18:58Tom Hanks is another example of an actor
19:00who brings a full spectrum of talent to their roles.
19:14Yet as big of a star as he's become,
19:16he's yet another entry on this list that we can't help but smile at.
19:24With all of the lovable characters he's played,
19:26it's easy to assume he's just as nice in person.
19:33It just so happens that in this case, it's the literal truth.
19:38Fans love him not just for his on-screen characters,
19:41but for the person behind the camera.
19:49Before we unveil our number one pick,
19:51here are some honorable mentions.
19:53Tom Holland.
19:54He's more like Peter Parker than you'd think.
19:57Nice to meet you, I'm Spider-Man.
19:59What's your name?
20:00I'm William.
20:01Chris Pratt.
20:02This is no Andy Dwyer in real life.
20:18Jim Carrey.
20:19Nowhere near as maniacal as his signature characters.
