I don't know any celebrities on a personal level, so I can't really say I disrespect any of them. However, I do think that Tom Cruise was out of line with the Brooke Shields thing, and good for her for standing her ground.
When I think of an actor I DO respect, I have to say Tom Hanks. Again, I don't know him on a personal level, but every interview I have ever seen him give he seems like such a sincere person, not to mention a great actor. He just seems to have a really good heart. Plus, I know someone who met him once and said that he was very nice and down to Earth. For some reason, I would have been surprised if I had heard otherwise.
And unfortunately to all the Sean Connery lovers out there, I have heard the same thing regarding his attitude towards women. It's disppointing, but he's still nice to look at.
