9 Celebrities Who Are Nice And Sure Know How To Treat Their Fans
November 22, 2017

Being a celebrity has its advantages and disadvantages. Some may buckle under the enormous pressure of constantly being under public scrutiny. Some grow selfish, focused only on worldly things. But what about the kindly celebrities who are nice and use the perks of their position God blessed them with as a way to share their blessings with others?
It's easy to forget that many celebrities work long hours. Often their day will begin early in the morning and end late into the night. Their job requires an extreme ability to display a range of emotions on demand. Celebrities are constantly reminded that their fans are an important part of continuing their chosen career path. But that doesn't make being personable after a long day, or on their day off, any easier.

Recently, he posted this touching photo to his Instagram account with the following explanation:
"...I was on set this morning ready to start our shooting day when I got word that there was a family with a special needs young man named RYAN who was hoping to meet me. They understood that they travelled in unannounced but they were willing to wait all day until I wrapped to meet. That would've 12hrs. Way too long.
So I asked production to hold and walked across the beach to the barriers where they were waiting. When I walked down the stairs, Ryan's mom (pictured here) was waiting with a huge hug! Her tears started to come as she whispered, "Thank you, thank you". I met Ryan, his brother and his nurse. What a great and cool kid. Without getting into the details, this kid has waaaaaay more heart, is stronger and tougher than I could ever imagine. He can't talk much, but he did tell me, "I love you" in sign language. I thanked him so much for that love.
Why Celebrities Who Are Nice, Like 'The Rock', Love Giving Back
... so grateful to have met them and Ryan. I don't ever take meetings like this for granted and when that mama hugged me today and I felt her start to cry... that stuff gets me every single time I hug a parent in these situations, because I'm a parent too and will do anything to make my babies happy and put a smile on their faces. I know I'm a lucky guy to be in this position and have this platform. I'm grateful and moments like this will always, ALWAYS be the best part of my job. Stay strong Ryan and thanks for teaching me how to sign language buddy. Great meeting you and your family. Thank you universe."
We love how these kindly celebrities have not lost their small-town charm. They are both known for being true to their roots and working hard to remember friends and family who supported them no matter what their fame.
