Kind of a weird one, but Johnny Weir.  
I have zero interest in figure skating but my Mom and Sister were watching it while he did the commentary and I thought “This is a really intelligent guy who really knows his stuff about his sport.”

With a few exceptions\*, I’ve never been very interested in Vin Diesel’s movies. But he seems like a fun, funny, slightly dorky guy, and I think it would be cool to hang out with him. Anyone who loves D&D as much as Diesel does must be OK.

- He was good in “Find Me Guilty” and “Knockaround Guys”, both of which I liked. And he was good in a smaller role in " Saving Private Ryan ". I’m just not that into his other big action movies.

I think [Andy Cohen](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Cohen_%28television_personality%29) would be a nice guy to know and be friends with. He reminds me of other people I’ve known and liked. I’ve never watched Real Housewives or Watch What Happens, and have no desire to.
