A sanctimonious smug git who thinks he is far funnier and far more significant than he actually is. Can I suggest Bob Mortimer Michaela Strachan Michael Palin and the recently deceased Murray Walker. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Immortal 634 Posted October 10, 2022 He's deceased but I have to mention Kenny Baker. I happened to meet him a couple years before his death in London and he took his time to have a conversation with me about Star Wars stuff even though he didn't really have to. Just an all around great guy and many others have said the same thing about him too. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Summer in Transylvania 2,184 Posted October 10, 2022 Agreeing on Sir David Attenborough. Charlotte Jordan Evans. Charles Garland (IMDB). I wouldn't consider him a "celebrity", but he is one of those people who was involved in many a major BBC Production during the 70s, 80s, and 90s without stepping very far into the limelight. A wonderful, funny man who I had the pleasure of meeting and speaking to earlier this year. Sir David Jason. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,731 Posted October 10, 2022 He doesn't seem to be in late stages though? I think he could live many years more but he seems to have declined a lot during the last few years. Hard to Not sure if these two cases can be compared, MJF could suffer from a different type of the disease but Singapore politician Chiam See Tong has been suffering from parkinson's for a quite long time and looked like this in 2019: And is still alive. Muhammad Ali looked much worse around four years before his death, but again not sure if these cases can be compared. The memory loss is a bad sign but then again Otis Taylor has suffered from parkinsons dementia for circa 20-30+ years Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arsewipe 202 Posted October 10, 2022 He's obviously still all there mentally but his motor skills are on par with a man who has drank 20 pints of snakebite on a night out. The complete opposite to Muhammad Ali's decline. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
