Flight attendant reveals who was the most 'humble' celebrity she's encountered while flying

A flight attendant has revealed the 'most humble' celebrity she's met while travelling.

No matter how famous or rich someone gets, you'd hope they could hang onto the person they were before and still stay grounded. Alas, that's not always the case with some high-flying celebrities.

Thankfully, a flight attendant had an extremely positive experience with one celebrity she met onboard a plane, and she's since explained what exactly went down.

Taking to her YouTube channel, Emily Kelly - who goes by The Hungry Flight Attendant - said she thought it would be 'really fun to share some celebrity stories' about some people she's meet either while at work, or at the airport on or a flight when flying 'for fun'.

However, in the video, she notes: "I'm only going to share the positive experiences for obvious reasons. I'm still a flight attendant and I don't want to be speaking poorly of anyone on here like no matter if I'm a flight attendant or not. So if I don't talk about this experience is because it was a negative, so there's a couple that I'm not going to name but the rest were really positive."

And one of her favorite celeb experiences?

Well, Kelly explains she was in Atlanta and was flying back to Dallas on a non-work related trip when she bumped into an Australian actor.

"He was the most humble, kind, amazing person," she says. "Like one of the most humble, kind people that I've ever met not just celebrity wise like anyone."

But who was the mystery man?

Kelly bumped into Joel Edgerton - best known for his role as Tom Buchanan in The Great Gatsby and 2023 release The Boys in the Boat, directed by George Clooney.

She adds the actor made her 'feel important' as well as 'heard,' with Edgerton asking her what she does for work and commenting on being a flight attendant as 'amazing' and 'so cool'.

Check out Kelly talking about her experience here:

Kelly continues: "He told me he was in Atlanta scouting places for a new movie that he was directing but he said it so casually like he did not say it in a pompous, arrogant way, he was being so cool."

The pair also spoke about having family in Alabama and Kelly resolves Edgerton was just overall 'a super sweet person' and she had a 'very, very great experience' with him on the flight.

If you needed any more of a reason to go watch The Boys in the Boat, then there you have it.
