This is a question Never Meet Your Heroes

They're bound to disappoint - like the time we booked Wayne Hussey for the B3ta Radio Show. Five minutes before we're due to record, Wayne
phones, lost on the M25 with his Brazilian wife screaming in the background. Not so much the King of Goth, as a hen-pecked flake.

Short but sweet
Just re-read the question, and got it all back to front but who cares? Anyway, most of my heroes tend to be shorter than me (6'3") so none of them have been unpleasant as yet, so I've only got nice things to say.
Met a few, well, I say met, vaguely said hello to is more like it.
Ant and Dec were both short, and very polite, smiley and nice. I believe one was experimenting with facial hair, which oddly made him look even younger. Not really heroes, but a certain respect, I mean, who didn't love 'let's get ready to rumble'?
Some one mentioned Johnny Depp being nice, and I can second that, due to him meeting my Aunt. She was the doctor on call when he was filming the Libertines in Wales and he had an ear infection. Started talking about family, and he invited her, my uncle and their five daughters to come and meet him on set the next day. So, as the young girls are being shown the set, having no idea what's coming up, who should stroll through the doors but Mr Depp himself, spots my aunt, calls out to her, gives her a huge smile and proceeds to have a good old natter.
Apparently one of my cousins couldn't actually raise her hand to say hello to him, she was that shocked and awed.
My uncle said he was a nice fella. Made me feel all warm that, some one you really hope is as great as they are on screen and turns out not to disappoint in the slightest.
Meet kila kela on many occasions, and he is never less than a very nice man. Bloody good beat boxer to boot.

So, like the weasle, the cherry has popped,and I didn't even answer the question right, quality!
