There are a lot of great qualities that people have that make others like and appreciate them. Some famous and well-known people come under more careful scrutiny when it comes to proper behavior as they are very often expected to show how nice and polite they are behind the cameras, how they treat others, and how compliant they are. Having this in mind, a Reddit user called @bpm918 was curious to find out some examples of such people. The user asked folks online to reveal “who is the most universally liked person in the world” in their mind.
The question that received more than 4k upvotes soon was filled with various answers. What was interesting to notice is that the names mentioned the most included actor Keanu Reeves, star legend Betty White, and singer and actor Dolly Parton.
Do you agree with the list? Who do you think is the world’s most universally liked person that wasn’t mentioned in the list? Don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments down below!

Mr. Rogers

Steve Irwin
Unpopular opinion: as someone who worked in the wildlife business in Africa, all I can say is that while his enthusiasm for animals was unmatched, he was repeatedly reckless in the way he approached and handled animals. While his death was tragic, it could easily have been avoided if he had kept the practice of treating wild animals with respect, and not crowding them, baiting them and interfering with them.
Chadwick Boseman. As a superhero I think he garnered worldwide attention. Whatever country you came from Black Panther was able to be reached to millions of viewers and became fans.

Yep, I’ve lived in two foreign countries, where people would b**ch about American movies and all things American ad nauseam, until Hanks showed up. “ooh, Tom Hanks”, the universal remark.

Rowan Atkinson? I bet Mr. Bean plays well all over the world. Hundreds of millions of people could love that dude and never even hear him say a peep. Eliminates a lot of potential controversy.
Paul Rudd
Idk if this counts but Oskar Schindler, he saved 1200 Jews by employing them in his ammunition and arms factory as he saw in the concentration camps even though he was apart of the Nazi party very interesting
She did a lot of good. And she didn’t deserved what happened to her. But i don’t like how people started hate Camilla after her death. Camilla never did anything loud, scandalous for revenge or attention seeking when Charles didn’t marry her, because she was unsuitable for the heir of the throne. I am glad she finally married a man she loved for so long.

Viggo Mortensen. Anyone who knows of him loves him.

Like 20 years ago Anne Hathaway was on Conan and said that Julie Andrews “swore like a sailor” when they were working on Princess Diaries.
My very first “girl crush” when she played Maria in Sound of Music! She was beautiful and she sang like an angel. My favorite with her is Victor/Victoria.

Not sure how this isn’t a top vote. Even for people that don’t like his movies or acting in particular, I’d say they’re generally aware of all the charity and stuff he gives away to deserving people, and has been completely scandal free as far as I know. Beyond that, he is always smiling and speaks in a way that people enjoy listening to, both his voice and manner of communicating. Highly likeable guy.
Bill Murray. I mean c’mon…has the guy ever let us down.

The less you know about his personal life the more you’ll like him.

Matthew McConaughey. Conservatives love him because he is conservative. Liberals love him because he’s a great actor who is not offensively conservative.
Snoop Dog hands down
Really? I remember the time he brought 2 womens to an awards show, both of them on dog leashes. This is a big no from me, sorry.26 replyView More Replies…View more comments
