soo many. most of my favourites are because of their personality rather than chess skills. They are either super nice, super funny or both. I can't like someone if they behave poorly, even if they have amazing chess skills.

I like carlsen, to me he comes across as thoughtful and I love his sense of humour. It's a little understated but witty.
rosen is the nicest human to ever exist and is really funny and humble. he can make a joke at his own expense.
bartholomew is also the nicest human to ever exist. he gave a lot of his free time to teach chess for free in the form of youtube videos. probably less so these day as I don't think he has any free time. but he hasn't forgotten about his fans.

many many more.
GM-wise, I will stick to my usual answer, Karpov. It is an age thing.
