RBC-Ukraine collected 10 of the most remarkable stories about celebrities who, according to witnesses, proved to be surprisingly friendly, open, and down-to-earth in everyday life.
Paul McCartney
The legendary musician has repeatedly been called one of the nicest people among global stars.

One user recalled that Paul introduced himself with the phrase “Hi, I’m Paul,” and later even became a regular at the bar where the author of the story worked.
Others also described him as humble, cheerful, and open to a short but sincere conversation.

It was this simple, genuine reaction that left the strongest impression.

An eyewitness recounted that she worked in real estate and visited the actress’s home while Berry was at home.
“I once worked for a company that measured buildings/properties for appraisers and real estate agents. I measured Halle Berry’s house while she was home. This was 10 years ago, so she was almost 50 at the time. In reality, she was far more beautiful than I can describe, and she was incredibly kind to my colleague and me,” the woman shared.
