In r/allthequestions, someone asked, "Who is the nicest celebrity you've ever had the privilege of meeting?" But perhaps, these big names, you wouldn't mind having a chance encounter with. Here's what people said: 1. "Weird Al Yankovic is extremely kind. Exactly who you would want him to be." Joe Scarnici / Getty Images -hercarmstrong"In the 90s, I ran into Weird Al and his beautiful companion in New Orleans. The friend I was with was a huge fan of his and was geeking out a bit. Over the course of the evening, we unintentionally managed to run into him two more times at different locations. Weird Al could not have been nicer, or more patient, with the two drunk college dudes he kept running into. On encounter #3 of the evening, he quickly assured us he was not following us before we had the chance to assure him of the same."-Muddobber99 2. "John Ritter." Ron Galella / Getty Images -Neither_Internal_261"John was my good friend's uncle. I've heard a million stories about him and not a single one was negative."-Sirloin_Tips 3. "Nicole Kidman was very nice and chatty in a Starbucks line with me." Jason Laveris / Getty Images, Nenov / Getty Images -haberv 4. "Amanda Bynes. I wrote a little horror script that she was attached to for a brief moment. She was in her early 20s, looking to break out from her teen roles. I had a couple of meetings with her. She was incredibly sweet and funny. I genuinely thought she would be the next Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock." Mediapunch / Getty Images -Obi_1_Kenobee 5. "Keanu." Craig Barritt / Getty Images -Dependent-Hurry9808"To the surprise of absolutely no one."-Logical_Sweet_6624 6. "Henry Winkler. He was so nice and humble. A genuinely down to earth person." Myung J. Chun / Getty Images -ForeignLibrarian9353"Second. He stepped out of a meet and greet line to compliment my wife's hair. A true gentleman."-SgtKnux 7. "George Lucas is a class act. My dad and I met him randomly at Disney World in 2000. We were eating lunch at the Brown Derby in what used to be MGM Studios. Dad told me to casually look over my left shoulder. I did, and was completely spellbound. I finally worked up the courage to ask him for his autograph. He signed a menu cover for me, and I immediately went outside the restaurant to compose myself. Once I went back in, lo and behold, George Lucas and my dad were just casually chatting between tables. It was surreal. He was such a nice, low-profile guy." Walter Mcbride / Getty Images -DisConorable 8. "Dolly Parton. Genuinely as sweet as East Tennessee tea." John Lamparski / Getty Images -RandomRN"There was a story on here once about her that really stuck with me. A Reddit user was talking about meeting her with one of her friends, I think. They were taking some sort of picture, and the friend got up on top of something for the group picture. While she was climbing, she slipped and accidentally kicked Dolly. She was super embarrassed and kept apologizing, and Dolly just giggled and said something along the lines of, 'Well, now you can go around telling people you got to kick Dolly Parton's ass.' Lol. I thought that was cute and funny."-DefinitelyNotMaranda 9. "Viggo Mortensen." Stephane Cardinale - Corbis / Getty Images -OwlBig3239"Can confirm. Sweetest guy ever."-whogivesashirtdotca 10. "Daniel Dae Kim. Hiking in Hawai'i at Kohelepelepe stairs. He was soft spoken and friendly." Rodin Eckenroth / Getty Images -joyfullofaloha89 11. "Tom Petty was an absolute treasure to meet. I've met a lot of musicians, but he sticks out as an absolute class act and friendly human." Daniel Petty / Getty Images -littlechangeling 12. "Ice Cube. I worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years and met plenty of 'famous' people." Steve Granitz / Getty Images -NotanotherRealtor 13. "Sean Astin. I hated to bug him at CVS, but my kids adore him, and he could not have been nicer. (He wasn't there for prescriptions or medicine or anything, if that makes me seem less rude for saying hi.)" Valerie Macon / Getty Images -IWillCallYouCutie"My parents ran into him at a bar while out for Emerald City Comicon. They said he came over, had drinks with them, and was just the nicest ever. They didn't want to bother him, but my stepdad was fangirling noticeably. 😆"-HangryHangryHedgie 14. "Danny McBride. I was a waiter in Grand Rapids when there were a lot of films being shot there, and he was shooting 30 Minutes or Less. He was so polite and wanted to try all the local stuff. He was drinking Oberon and asking lots of questions. Really cool guy." Dia Dipasupil / Getty Images "I also met Dave Bautista during this time, and he's a close second."-Oathkeeper45 15. "Kell
