Phil was at the SENI expo in Birmingham earlier this year.

Was genuinely friendly and helpful to everybody over the two full days and this despite being tired and jet lagged.

Everybody can have a bad day.

Compared to pros from many other sports - be it athletics, tennis, ice hockey or soccer -  most pro bodybuilders are class acts when it comes to fan interaction.
 

That's also because they have to be, they have no choice, in real sports athletes get a healthy paycheck of (on average for the major 4 sports) around a million dollars a year, for all they care they can tell the fans to go fuck themselves, they still get that million...in bodybuilding it's the schmoes fans that allow these guys to live their lifestyle, eat, train and buy gear so they have to be nice and friendly and kiss up to them so they buy more dvd's and signed pics.

Might be the case with some of them, but not all of them.
