I'm not naive enough to think that anyone is perfect but it seems all you read in the news is a constant stream of **29**C-e-liberty  fuck-ups.See Bill "I just wanted to see her pudding pops!" Cosby as someone we all thought was a good person but turned out that wasn't the truth.
This thread is for the **28** C-elibrities that appear to be cool and have their head on straight.
Here is a young baseball player that has the good guy image down pat.Aaron Judge is a 6'7,280 pound monster that is currently killing Major League Baseball pitchers.Not only is he leading MLB in homers but he is also leading the AL in batting average.
The Yankees recently played four games in Toronto and it was reported that Aaron played catch with a young fan who was sitting in the stands before an inning began and he spent at least a half hour signing autographs before the games started.He always talks about playing the game the right way ie:always running hard and keeping your head down while jogging around the bases after hitting a homer and not showing your opponents up.I read a NY Post article on his early HS school baseball career in California and this guy has his head on straight.Let's hope he keeps it that way.

My submission is Fred Rogers AKA Mr. Rogers

He reminded people that even in the worst of times, there were still nice people doing nice things.
He stood up to Congress and argued that recording television shows with VHS was fair use, and that doing this allowed working families to sit together and watch TV together.
He was an ordained minister, but decided to take his messages of love and friendship to TV instead.
He believed that making the world a better place was everyone's responsibility.
And after he passed away in 2003 (he had stomach cancer), the press interviewed his son and begged for a story about Fred being mean.  His son said, "I know that would make for a great quote, but the reality is that my dad was every bit the kind person that you see on TV, and I don't have any story for you about him losing his temper or being anything less than kind to me all of the time."

Mr. Fred Rogers was one of the greatest humans ever to walk the planet. The man was an amazingly good human being. You should search YouTube for the time he received the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 24th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. Nary a dry eye in the house when the person he interviewed as a youngster on his show came out to give him the award. The smile that lit up Mr. Rogers' face as he recognized him, close to twenty years later, was priceless.

What an excellent human being he was.

J.K. Rowling donates so much to charities that she took herself off Forbes' "billionaires" list. "You have a moral responsibility when you’ve been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently."

John Cena has granted more "wishes" for the Make-A-Wish foundation than anyone else. He granted Wish #500 in 2015. As far as I can tell, no one else has more than 300......

When Zach Galifinakis moved to Los Angeles in 1994 to try and make it big, he befriended Elizabeth “Mimi” Haist, a laundrywoman who was ekeing out a living collecting tips from the patrons of the laundrymat where she volunteered. After the success of the first Hangover movie, he stopped coming to the laundrymat -- but when two years ago he discovered that Haist had since become homeless, he tracked her down, found her a one-bed, one-bath apartment, and started covering her rent and utilities. Whenever he's in town, he takes her to dinner -- and most of the time if there's a premiere of one of his films, she's his date.

The 43-year-old actor picked her up in a limo from the doorstep of her Santa Monica apartment, Haist said.

“If he’s in town, he takes me. Otherwise he lets me take a friend. I dress up nice and a friend helps me with my makeup. It’s fun, not something I’ve ever dreamed I’d experience. The limo takes me home afterwards,” said Haist.

The diminutive and slightly frail octogenarian gets a kick out of the bemused looks she gets from fans and reporters when she walks the red carpet.

“All the fans were taking photos and I waved at them, I said, ‘They don’t know who I am!’ ” said Haist of her prior premiere experiences. “Afterwards, they have a party at somewhere close by and you meet the stars. I drink lemon drop martinis with Grey Goose vodka.”

Asked if she's mistaken for Zach's grandmother, Haist joked that she's mistaken for his girlfriend. The fortunate friend to the stars is also friends with Galifianakis' wife.

This is a marvelous idea for a thread. I confess that some of the entries make me a little teary-eyed.

In the early 80s, before he got into acting, Steve Buscemi worked as a firefighter with Manhattan's Engine Company 55.

After 9/11, he rejoined them for a week's worth of twelve-hour shifts.

"He put in 60 hours on top of the pile, pulling out victims,” says retired NYFD battalion chief Richard Ardisson, 56, who was at the site with the 43-year-old actor. “Not delivering coffee or giving moral support. He was exhausted and covered in soot.” Buscemi declined to speak to reporters. Explains Ardisson: “He said he wanted no recognition. He said, ‘These are my brothers.’ "

I liked him before but when I first heard of what he did post-9/11, Buscemi became one of my heroes. Outstanding.

From all accounts, the three main stars of the Spider-Man movies in the MCU (from right to left: Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon) are all super-nice to their fans, and are firm fan-favorites in return.
