What the fuck does one's personality have to do with his career? Is bjork suddenly a bad musician because she's a disgusting human being? Is Blue is the warmest colour any less of a masterpiece because Abdellatif Kechiche is a prick? Hell no, it's completely unrelated and we don't get a say in ANYONE's disposition.
Grow the fuck up, these people owe you nothing and vice versa.
I've met a ton of celebrities at my job and I didn't let the fact that they weren't nice influence my opinion of them as professionals. Yeah, Tim Burton and Rowan Atkinson are asses... so what? They're great at what they do. And Jude Law being a sweetheart doesn't make him any better of an actor.
Expecting something out of someone who's life you have no role in qualifies as both absurd and self-entitled.

Yes, how dare we expect people to be at least vaguely polite/not dickheads.
Is it too much to expect people to not be dicks to other people? I'd like to live in a world where everyone's cool to eachother, and where talent in one specific field isn't a free pass to be an asshole to everyone you encounter.
Either someone pissed in his cereal or Z is actually William Shatner.
I get to go to the BAFTA's and IFTA's for the last 5 years so I've bumped into a few celebs. Have never met any really mean or bitchy celebs, unless you include people who work in Irish TV (but I don't count them). Though the weirdest/surrealist meeting would have been with Woody Allen, really nice guy, but super shy. didn't really want to chat about his films, but I mentioned that I had seen him in concert the last time I was in NYC and he smiled and said thanks.

Nicest:
Michael Fassbender - loves Guinness, nicest actor I've ever met. Have met up with him a good few times since in both London and Dublin.
Saorise Ronan - really down to earth and super nice
Jack Nicholson - personification of cool
Jennifer Lawerence - really nice
George Clooney - very nice and chatty about his films, even the bad ones.
Mark Kermode - chatted with him about his BBC Radio 5Live show and his latest book
Nigel Floyd - really nice guy, super knowledgeable about films
Paul Thomas Anderson - Kept to himself, but was nice when I said "hi" to him
Danial Day Lewis - very shy guy, very tall too. but very pleasent.
Hugh Jackman - really nice and chatted to everyone
Christoper Nolan - nice guy to talk to in general but when he talks about film he came across more intense.
Robin Wiliams - chatted more about games then his movies, was saying he was looking forward to BF3
James Cameron - said hi and we fist bumped, told him he was still "king of the world" (Avatar had just came out) and he smiled
Kathryn Bigalow - very nice lady
Russell Crowe - very cool dude, spent about 30 mins talking about Munster taking on the All Blacks in rugby and how he wanted to go the game in Limerick, but didn't know if his schedule would allow him.
Stephen Fry - he's exactly how you think he would be.
I don't usually take pics, but I do have a few on my PC.

I met Zombine once.
And secondly I expect anyone and everyone to not be a dick and simply be polite / friendly.
You really feel strongly about this...give me a break dude. The celebs are millionaires and their lives are set, the least they could do is not be an asshole.I understand that. What I'm asking is... what gives you the right of expecting optional social niceties from anyone who's life you're not an integral part of? How is that not a false sense of entitlement on your part towards people who owe you nothing?
I met Cara Delevingne at a gig in Hyde Park a few weeks ago, she was cool as hell and even posed for pictures. Apparently I was the first to wish her good luck being Enchantress in Suicide Squad. The rest were mostly girls clamoring all over her because of her being a model/friends with Taylor Swift etc... Kind of felt sorry for her in that aspect. Also goddamn she's absolutely beautiful in person.
I met Bob Geldof once, he came across as very arrogant frankly.

Some people get caught on bad days but there are multiple stories of celebrities out there that show its their true personality.
On the other hand, it is always nice when Hayley Atwell or Sacha Baron Cohen drop by as I always have a laugh with them (she's a massive flirt, sue me for liking it).
I met Craig Charles of Red Dwarf in a sandwich shop, he was great, happy to talk about Red Dwarf and how much fun he has working on Takeshi's castle.
Breh, take me to the BAFTA's with you.I get to go to the BAFTA's and IFTA's for the last 5 years so I've bumped into a few celebs.

Hampstead, eh? Maybe I should pay this cinema a visit...On the other hand, it is always nice when Hayley Atwell or Sacha Baron Cohen drop by as I always have a laugh with them (she's a massive flirt, sue me for liking it).
I met Zombine once.
A colleague of mines sister works at a nearby film studio, and recently had to deal with Tom Hanks, who was apparently an insufferably unpleasant git to everyone working there.
Personally I've never met any unpleasant celebrities though, thankfully. Particularly Tom Baker (the 4th Doctor) and Jodie Prenger (actress and winner of I'd Do Anything), who are incredibly nice people who seem to genuinely enjoy meeting fans.
My friend and his sister are those people who find out where celebrities are and get selfies with them. Apparently, they guy who plays Jimmy King in Ready to Rumble (I forget his name and don't know what else he's in) wouldn't take a picture with them and, thus, a piece of shit.
