I think that was it. She was just having a bad day and she apologised another day. She is actually really nice.Jessie said:
Re Hawes, what a shame. I loved her performances in Line of Duty and a few other series and always think she's a great actress. But treating people in service business badly is quite a nasty thing in my opinion. Maybe she was having a bad day but...O-Randy-Hunt said:
In the office its hard to judge but Hawes could give it some when she wanted. Had a right go at our receptionist once. Proper lost her rag.SporadicAddick said:

In my cab -
John Terry
Cesc Fabregas
Callum Mcmanaman (least famous but knew him)
Cat Deeley
Kelly Brook
Rod Gilbert
Angela Rayner
Gregory Porter
Emma Thompson
Callum Best
I understand from people that have worked with him that Walliams is a big one.
In the cab, Brook was a bit of a misery but she did spend the journey on the phone to ocado having a ruck because half her food shop hadn't turned up. Only had a chat with a few of them but Gregory Porter was a very nice chap and believe it or not JT and Mrs were decent. That's the real mrs by the way, not one of the others he may well have been boinking at the time.1 -
Sillybilly said:Dame Kelly Holmes and Sir Clive Woodward at corporate events where they were speakers hired by the company I worked for at the time. About ten years ago so both were more "current" then than now. Dame Kelly was an absolute star. Down to earth. Showed us her gongs and couldn't have been more approachable. Not the most natural public speaker but her charm got her through. Sir Clive was dull as ditchwater.
Sandy Lyle, Nick Faldo and Ian Woosnam when I was a young lad marshalling at the "Glasgow Classic" in 1983. :Lyle was nice (still have the ball he gave me), Faldo was aloof and Woosie was unbelievably small.
Had lunch with Jean Van de Velde a few years ago at the senior's PGA event at the London Club. My mate and I had hospitality tickets so had access to the players lounge. He was utterly charming and spent a lot of time with us. It was a very hot day and he told us in beautifully French accented English that "it was so hot out there I wanted to jump in the water" to which my mate inexcusably said "well you've got a bit pf previous there mate". Jean took it very well.
We had Sir Clive come to give a talk to our clients in our little office a few years ago. I was very panicky because it was just me if anything went wrong. It did, we couldn't get his presentation running... but as luck would have it, he had brought his own IT man with him and he took it all in his stride and didn't get agitated once. He even went out of his way to tell my boss that it was me that had saved the day (when in reality I had been hiding under the table starting at cables shaking) and remembering my name. I thought he was pretty cool.4 -

Gaz Coombes from Supergrass, Nick Hornby and former Spanish President Mariano Rajoy. Separately and not at the same time though - they are not some kind of rock supergroup.1

Met Clive Mendonca at Fratton Park once...was starstruck!!
Also met George Best at Fratton Park..had a picture with him but had to hold him up and he was smashed! I was 15 then.
Met Sam Alladyce when he was managing Bolton after they beat Southampton. Asked him if he was close to signing Rivaldo (rumoured at the time) and he laughed and said "could you imagine Rivaldo wanting to live in Bolton"!1 -

Probably the first celeb I really met and spoke to was Sue Pollard back in the early 80's.
I had been working for two years or so on the new (well it was then) concert hall in Nottingham. Shortly after it opened, I had been back doing some snagging and was loading my van up by the stage door when she turned up and plonked herself on the bonnet of my van.
Her first words were, alright me ducks, what the fuck have you been up to here then? Every other word was the f word, it was so bad that at times she was putting it in the middle of words like absofuckinglutely!
She talked and swore non stop for ten minutes, not even pausing for breath!
Funny as fuck though

Back in the 70s me and some mates had a slanging match with a group of lads in McDonalds by Charing Cross station. Calling them plastics and far worse. We were on our way to see the Rezillos at the Lyceum. Same group of lads were later on stage as the supporting act. The Undertones.12

He was perfectly polite/amiable but you could see he had that intense/takes his work too seriously kinda thing going on behind those puppy dog eyesJessie said:
How was he like? I read about Charlize Theron's feud with him on the set of Mad Max a couple of years ago and I've quite disliked him since.Fumbluff said:Tom Hardy and his little dog. Aaah.1 - Sponsored links:

Crikey @ROTW you might have been ahead of the game there 😳
Met loads of celebs/famous peeps over the years.
Only yesterday was sat drinking non alcoholic beer with Dr Pixie McKenna (embarrassing bodies fame). She has a holiday home here. The whole of West Cork is full of celebs tbh.
The most famous being Mr Norton (who I have met) & so hoping against hope it isn’t him as I think the whole of Ireland would need therapy 🫣2 -

Many of the Premier League footballers and managers who stayed at the Marriott Hotel, Bexleyheath with their teams playing at the Valley as I used to hang a round up there collecting autographs back then. Highlights were Bobby Robson, David Beckham, Alex Ferguson. Lowlights were Roy Keane, Jermaine Jenas and Kieran Dyer. The last 2 came out a side entrance with headphones on to avoid the 4 autograph collectors waiting to meet the Newcastle players.2 -
Shortly after I’d moved to London, I worked for H&M at Oxford Circus for a few months.
Thierry Henry (still not that famous back then, as he’d only just made the move to Arsenal) was in the store and asked me where I’d bought my trousers?
‘Ehhh, here.’1 -

I met a guy back in 2012 who did some work on a Bentley I owned. He had been in charge of making and maintaining the cars used on Mad Max. To say that he didn't have a good word to say about Charlize is an understatement.Jessie said:
