“Shep Gordon is the nicest person I’ve ever met, hands down,” Mike Myers says of the subject of his new film, Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon. The uber-manager also had a hand in the careers of everyone from Alice Cooper to Anne Murray, which is why the friendliest dude in Hollywood makes for perfect documentary fodder.

In a new trailer for the film, Michael Douglas says the word “mensch” is synonymous with Gordon. Sylvester Stallone calls him a protector: “He keeps the wolf from the door,” the actor says. Emeril Lagasse credits Gordon for creating the concept of the celebrity chef. And then there’s footage of Gordon with the Dalai Lama, a personal friend.

Gordon laughs a lot, and his famous pals relate memories of him fondly. We’re told he tells great stories…and from what’s seen in the trailer, it’s hard to imagine otherwise. Take a look:

Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon hits theaters June 6.
