Paul McGrath. Lives in Wexford and spends an awful lot of time attending local fundraising events and raising money for charities. Gentleman to speak to

Met him in a hotel a few years ago, absolute gent! Had no problem hopping in a few pictures and just seemed an all-round sound, humble guy.

For me personally I'd love to go for a few pints with Dave Grohl, love some of the stories of him just being sound particularly the one about a group of miners involved in a cave in. During the rescue attempts they requested MP3 players with Foo Fighter songs to help them through. Not sure of the legitimacy of the story but I like to think it's true, this is taking from Wikipedia:

When Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters heard of the miners' request to have the band's music sent down on MP3 players, he issued a personal message via fax to them indicating he would meet them for a beer. Grohl's note read, in part, "Though I'm halfway around the world right now, my heart is with you both, and I want you to know that when you come home, there's two tickets to any Foos show, anywhere, and two cold beers waiting for you. Deal?" In October 2006, one of the miners took up his offer, joining Grohl for a drink after the Foo Fighters acoustic concert at the Sydney Opera House. Since then, Foo Fighters have written an instrumental tribute song called "Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners" appearing on the album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

Aaron Paul from Breaking Bad seems like sound guy. I've read and seen videos of him greeting fans at his own front gate. Signs autographs for them, takes pictures with them and chats with them. Most celebrities would probably blow their fans off, especially if they're waiting outside their front gate but Aaron is not like that. A very nice guy by all accounts.

Tom Hanks also seems down to earth and has a good sense of humor.

I'd say Dolly Parton is sound out. Always seems very sweet and humble and has done loads for charity in her time.

Alexander Armstrong and Richard Osman, the two hosts of Pointless, also seem like they'd be sound out and good craic on a night out.

Rachel Riley always comes across as very sound and down-to-earth.

I get the impression that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a sound skin and I'd love to have a pint with him!

My brother was in a restaurant in JFK airport a couple of years ago and met him. Both were on their own and the brother ended up sitting in with him after they had finished eating. Wicked sound fella and apparently was just delighted to have a chat with someone over his lunch who wasn't interested in wrecking his head looking for autographs etc.

I'll second this.

Almost 20 years ago Tubs and his former wife lived beside an elderly relative of mine, and although she was very independent and full of life and always had family dropping in, Tubs and the wife were superb neighbours to her, sociable but never interfering and always offered to get shopping or give her a lift during bad weather or other chores if her health was below par. He has his quirks, but dont we all, in my opinion hes a very decent man.

A lot of names of well known ****s being thrown around here, no doubt for the sake of trolling.

Soundness should only be judged by personal experience. Its the old adage 'never meet your heroes' (in case they are a douche)

I like to use the Omar Sharif scale, one of the acknowledged biggest douche-bags in the world of celebrity.

I would kinda mitigate the big drinking hellraisers like Reed, Burton, Harris and Coburn for bad behaviour because of the grog but on the Sharif Scale you should definitely find Sean Connery, Kevin Spacey, Matt Damon, Burt Reynolds, Steve McQueen etc.

Does mean you think they aren't sound if they are on a douche bag scale?

Yes, thank God. That's exactly the qualities I look for in a Taoiseach.

One of my heroes, if you haven't already read his autobiography check it out. One page will have you rolling around in stitches,the page after that almost brings a tear to the eye. He's the ultimate underdog. Once he seems to be on the up, the black dog knocks him back down again.

I follow him on Twitter. He's an extraordinarily generous man in terms of giving his time to others, charity, family etc. Life appears to be treating him well at the moment. Golf seems to be his passion these days.
