People Are Sharing The Famous Men They’d Feel Comfortable Trapped In An Elevator With, And I Need To Know If You Agree
In recent years, one of the barometers that I have always used against, well, pretty much any man but particularly famous ones is: “How safe would I feel if I were trapped in an elevator with them?”

While there are undeniably heaps of men in the public eye who any woman would be absolutely terrified to be stuck with, there are also plenty who unequivocally pass the test. For me, it’s Seth Rogen, Matt Damon, Colman Domingo, Prince Harry, and Colin Farrell, to name just a few.
And because I am generally a nosey and curious person, I recently asked the BuzzFeed Community for their perspective, posing the question: “Which male celebrities would you feel comfortable being trapped in an elevator with?” and our brilliant readers answered in their droves.
So, without further ado, here are just some of the famous men who came up — and it goes without saying, but please add your own answers in the comments below, because I would genuinely love to know!
