The Top 10 Best Autograph Signers And Most Fan Friendly Celebrities Of 2012! With Charlie Hunnam! Johnny Depp! Matt Bomer! Jessica Chastain! And More!
End of year lists! Yay! I love them! Even if I read the same names on them over and over and over and over again!
This one is sure to be different… Well, kind of… LOL… This is the top 10 best autograph signers and most fan friendly celebrities of 2012!
There were some amazing experiences this past year, as evidenced by not only the website by also the 2012 recap that was just posted.
We’re going to go into the negative in another post but for now, lets go the positive route shall we?
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
okay, here is the official Mike The Fanboy list of the top 10 best autograph signers of 2012!
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
10. Matt Bomer – The nicest of the Magic Mike men, I don’t think that Matt Bomer has a mean bone in his body. Stories of Matt taking time for fans on the set of White Collar are legendary! Quite simply, Matt is a hell of a nice guy!
9. Charlie Hunnam – The Sons of Anarchy star may play a hardened biker on TV but in person, he is the coolest guy ever. He stops on set, in public, at premiere’s… In fact, he stops for fans pretty much everywhere he goes.
8. Aaron Paul – Perhaps you read the recent articles about how awesome Aaron Paul is? Well, it’s not new. Aaron has always been a cool cat and he’s even written fun messages and loves to see the different things people hand him to sign.
7. Lana Del Rey – The sultry songstress has burst forth this year, and if you haven’t checked out the video for ride, you need to! I’ve seen Lana Del Rey invite fans back to the hotel to hang out with her, I’ve seen her stop her car and tell fans when she would be back from running errands, this woman is a class act!
6. Mark Wahlberg – This is Mark’s second year on my list and the former underwear model is really a class act. For someone at the top of their game, I think it’s awesome he is still great to the people who put him there!
5. Jessica Chastain – The sultry red head is one of the best autograph signers out there, if she sees a barricade of people she makes sure and starts from one end and makes it down to the other. She makes sure that photos come out… and she has a beautiful autograph.
4. Hugh Jackman – The Real Steel star has been out a lot in the past month and generally speaking he’s been awesome. In fact, one day he did three talk shows, got his star on Hollywood Blvd., and did a Q and A. Everywhere he went. He signed autographs. That’s damn impressive!
3. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt – I lump these two together because they are a unit, lol. Even though they were not out as much this year, Angelina and Brad are still some of the best signers and most friendly celebrities out there.
2. Bradley Cooper – This guy is a machine. I mean a machine… How many movies has Bradley Cooper been in lately? Every premiere, every talk show, every appearance he’s a constant gentleman and so cool to fans.
1.Johnny Depp – I always debate about the number one slot, but after the Dark Shadows premiere where I saw Johnny Depp sign for about an hour… I sat back and said… Damn… I mean damn… This is one guy who loves his fans. He’s super kind and he has no problem signing whatever you have. He loves seeing posters from smaller films, random memorabilia, and is like a big fanboy himself. I take my hat off to you sir!
Honorable mentions:
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Julie Bowen, Melissa McCarthy, Jason Ritter, Jim Sturgess, Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake, Bryan Cranston, Michael Fassbender, Malin Akerman, Elijah Wood, Guillermo Del Toro, The Walking Dead cast, The Community Cast (for the most part), Christina Hendricks, George Clooney, Jon Cryer, Taylor Kitsch, Jennifer Lawrence, Kate Beckinsale, Mary Louise Parker, Stephen Moyer, Jennifer Garner, Rob Pattinson
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
And let’s give a shout out to the celebrities who were once really difficult but are getting better! The most improved celebrities for 2012 are:
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Lea Michele – The Glee star used to be horrible to fans, in fact I could share some stories, but now it seems Lea Michele has turned a corner! Whoo Hoo!
Nicole Kidman – I love me some Nicole Kidman and only once before have I met her. I’ve heard reports she was getting nicer and at a recent q and a she spent almost 10 minutes signing autographs and taking photos!
Tim Burton – There was a time that Tim was hard to even get to but this year with Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie, Tim has been out and super nice to fans!
Christina Ricci – Once Christina was very hit and miss, but this year especially Christina has been super sweet and very cool about signing.
Chris Pine – I’ve had such a hard time with Chris Pine, he was super nice, then the dealers killed him and he was horrible… and now… He’s in the middle, he’ll do it sometimes and not others but I like the trajectory he’s going in. Let’s see what happens after the new Star Trek movie!
Zooey Deschanel – This New Girl used to be in the Natalie Portman category… And even now… She’s hit and miss, but she will be nice now, you just have to get her at the right time.

Starting this website has been a labor of love. I love sharing my fandom experiences but more than that I love hearing everyone else’s stories. I love hearing about conventions, movie locations, meet celebrities good and bad, I love it all. I sincerely hope you enjoy my exploits, the adventures of everyone who submits an article, and all the members of the Fanboy Family! Without everyone who writes and reads MTF there wouldn’t be a site. This is truly for the fans, by the fans!

Decent list. No arguments here. Mouth is watering waiting to see the WORST signers list!
Mike I think you cannot leave out Tom Cruise, the awesome John Hurt and the cast of Mad Men.
In fact may I place a best network shout out for auographing to AMC. ALL three major shows on that network, Walking Dead, Mad Men and Breaking Bad have the nicest casts around and are all good signers!
Looking forward to your wrost list. Hello #1 Natalie Portman! Lol!
I know he hasn’t been out much but you can add WILL SMITH to the honorable mention list. I just love how he interacts with his fans and is so nice!
Hmmmmm, agree with most of the list, maybe a little different order. The only disagreement I got is Brad and Angelina, Granted I didn’t go to a lot of the Oscar stuff from last year, but the one time I did see them was the Premiere that Angelina directed, and neither signed 🙁 I would have to replace them with Olivia Munn. I saw her 5 times last year, 2 talk shows, Newsroom Premiere, Magic Mike Premiere, and going to a movie with her boyfriend, and every time she signed everything, and took pictures with everyone. To the point she even made the joke that her signature can’t be worth much anymore. But the rest of it looks good.
I agree Billy, add OLIVIA MUNN on the list! I went to one of the talk shows and got a picture with her. She was so nice and she does like to joke around, like when she was signing for those dealer vultures she was like “Guys, you are flooding the market. You guys are gonna get like 13 cents for these” hahaha.
Nice list. Although Lana should be higher 😉
Thank You for including Charlie Hunnam! I loved meeting him. He is so talented and is going to be HUGE!
Tom Cruise should be in there above Mark Wahlberg, with his crappy graph. What celebrity other then Tom has ever got to a premier an hour early to do the line? I demand a recount!!!!
Bitter party of one, AKA The Other Mike! LOL…
Mark is awesome to his fans, Tom is as well don’t get me wrong, but I think Mark is more consistent than Tom is.
I love Charlie! He is such a kind man, Super sweet guy!
Yeah Billy, but they signed after, most people may not have gotten them, but they both stopped in front of the restaurant and took photos and signed. Kills me I wasn’t there but what can you do?
So you’re saying I should have stalked/followed them to a restaurant and then they would be on my top 10 list? 🙂 They had plenty of time at the Premiere, Brad for sure. I did get Gwen that day though! I’m just sayin, Olivia even signed and took pictures for Gerry’s girls. When he completely dissed them.
I’ve met Matt Bomer on the streets of NYC…he could not have been nicer! I wish him good fortune…
Billy Beer,
If you went to the afterparty for Jolie’s directorial debut like Mike said, she and Brad racked up a storm and did photo opps as well. Just because you didn’t know where the afterparty it’s not their fault. They both also signed a lot at the Palm Springs Film Festival gala ealier in the year. Don’t knock any celeb just because you can’t know what their itenerary is. I wouldn’t call it stalking. If you do this long enough you’ll find that most of the afterpartys at the Dome/Arclight are at venues within close walking distance. AND just because a certain celeb signs a nicer autograph does not make that person any a better signer.
I’m not knocking them, I’m just saying they’re not in my top ten this year. I’ve gotten both of them before. They’re great people! But compared to Olivia…. I don’t need to know where the after party is. Everyone else on Mike’s list signed at every one of their premieres this year. They signed for the hundreds of fans that were there, and not the 10-20 fans that knew where the after party was. That’s what I call a “best signers”. And I’m just talking about this year. They couldn’t have been nicer at the Kung-Fu Panda 2 Premiere. That was one of my greatest fanboy days. We all know that each and everyone of us could have a different top ten. Nobody is right or wrong, cause we all go to different things, when these people are in different moods. It’s just fun to compare, and that is all I was doing with mike’s list.
Amazing!
I hear you Billy,
I have to try to keep in mind that this list is based on Mike’s experiences and not mine. Like to me “who is Olivia Munn?”. I know the name BUT what has she done that makes her a celebrity? I wouldn’t even bother her for an autograph. It’s all a matter of personal taste.
It IS fun and interesting to compare. It’s just that it makes me mad when a certain celebrity gets dissed when they don’t deserve it.
Have a good one Billy!
I love reading celeb stories!!
It should be no surprise trhat Mark Walhberg is one of the best. When he was a kid growing up in Boston he was Redsox and Bruins fan he got autograph from Redsox and Bruins players and now pays back the good deed.
Most of their appearances are in Hawaii but you really can’t go past Alex O’Loughlin, Michelle Borth and Daniel Dae Kim for being awesome to their fans. Alex recently held women’s self defence classes for charity and Michelle and Daniel are very fan friendly on social media. All three of them happily sign until there is no one left that wants them.
