be it, their personality ended up being really cool
or
you just learned stuff about them that made them more likeble.
for example
Keanu Reeves. I think all those photos on instgram and facebook detailing how sad his life is, and all the nice things hes down on set and with fans, make him quite the saint to most people these days. Long way since that guy who can't act from the 90's.
Dolly Parton. i just remember that episode of Wings where Lowell goes to Dollywood and Roy makes fun of him, and then Lowel goes into a Rant about everything good this woman has done. Then ends with a mug of her giant boobs. Then Instagram lately has just a bunch of nice stories about her and the good she does for her community, her thoughts on Whitney Houston. and how much money she could have made but either gave it away or didn't capitalize, and I'm like "yeah. This woman is alright".

Guy Fieri was often seen as an obnoxious goof with silly hair, but once word got out about just how generous and charitable he was, a lot of his image did a complete turnaround.

James Blunt comes across witty and willing to laugh at himself.
And of course Sheikhy Baby gained a whole host of fans through his rants.

JK Rowling
Admittedly I haven't kept up with her account in a few years but she always seemed to be a nice, down to earth person. Now to see what she's been up to while taking a big swig of my soda.

Like the OP mentions Dolly has to be the best example. I had no reason to think she wasn’t a quality human but good god she’s like the best person on the planet.

I'd argue Rick Ross: between the accusations of stealing his image from notorious drug dealer "Freeway" Ricky Ross, to being outed as a former corrections officer, to that "molly all in her champagne" verse from the UOENO remix, he's always been very easy to hate or just plain dislike. Nowadays, he's just too much of a goofball to stay mad at for long.  |

Don't know how much, but Kevin Nash's reputation even before his recent life tragedies seems to have improved nowadays.

David Lynch never(?) had a bad reputation. But David Lynch, "YouTube weather man", now that's someone everyone can gather around.

Neil Gaiman's never had a bad reputation, he's lovely, but his role as Tumblr's one permitted celebrity who's 100% in on the joke just makes him even more endearing.

Batista. From focus of smark rage to humble Hollywood nice guy and outspoken LGBQT+ ally. I was sold on Dave Bautista on social media once he posted a picture of himself holding a baby raccoon and captioned it "Drax and Rocket Raccoon." |

George Takei is a treasure and his social media game only spread awareness of that. It makes me all the more sad that Viacom never made the Sulu led Trek series we all wanted.

I liked the guy before but Mark Hamill uses his social media to spread awareness and goodness (from what I have seen anyway).
