While many of us try our best to get over our celebrity crushes, things are a bit different when it comes to celebs actually being rejected by other celebs. Yes, famous people get turned down too, and some in quite brutal ways as well! The reasons for rejection vary, but some are indeed quite odd. Can you imagine your crush rejecting you because they don't know who you are (even though you're famous)? And what if your teen crush all of a sudden became your stepfather?

The Union J singer apparently had a crush on Gomez. She was nice enough to tell him to give her a call next time she's in London. Except, he never did. "Since I'm here, I'm actually very offended that George didn't call me from Union J," said Gomez.
The A-list actress recalled the time the TV host rejected her. Apparently Fallon was oblivious to Nicole Kidman's interest in him back in the day.
The comedian tried to flirt with RiRi once, but the experience was really awkward. "[She looked at me] like I was one of her aunts. She didn't even register me as an attractive being … I was in the uncle zone," said the comedian.
Willis had a crush on Kutcher, and even had a poster of him on her bedroom wall. Until, of course, he started dating her mom, Demi Moore. All of a sudden, Kutcher became her stepdad!
It might be hard to believe that the Hollywood heartthrob was rejected by the beautiful British model, but this is exactly what happened at an after-party at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival.
Back in 2015, Bieber tried to get Rihanna's number, but RiRi didn't give it to him. “I asked her out, but it didn’t go so well. I asked her out and she was basically like, ‘You’re too young,’” explained Bieber later on.
The former One Direction member has tried his luck with Katy Perry, but she always thought he's too young for her. "I see [Horan] around all the time, he's always trying to like get my number to, like, maybe flirt with me, but I'm like, 'I could babysit you. I'm, like, your mom!'" Perry said.
It looks like Mendes got Eilish's number a while back, but she never replied to his texts. In 2019, Mendes joked that he was still waiting for Billie Eilish to text him back.
It was love at first sight for Drake, but as for Minaj, not quite. "I saw Nicki for the first time and, like, literally fell in love. I've always really, actually, really had a crush on her, always really loved her, and she's always just looked at me as, like, her little brother." Ouch!
Watson had a crush on her 'Harry Potter' co-star from the ages of 10 to 12, but Felton never felt the same way. "He totally knew [I had a crush on him] and the thing is that he’d tell everyone, ‘I see her in a younger, sisterly way,’ and it just broke my heart. It still does," explained Watson.
George Clooney was reportedly still dating Stacy Keibler when he tried to make a move towards Longoria. This was apparently the main reason why the actress rejected Clooney.
Tyrese posted a photo of the singer with the caption, "I’m a sucker for a naturally beautiful, God fearing woman who’s smart and authentic who’s strong and self-sufficient [...]." Monáe thanked him, but that was that.
Drake confessed, at the 2016 MTV VMAs, that he'd love RiRi ever since he was 22, and that they were "best friends."
But Rihanna didn't like being put in the spotlight like that. "Waiting through that speech was probably the most uncomfortable part. I don't like too many compliments. I don't like to be put on blast," she said.
The two dated for a while, but the couple split in 2003. Years later, in 2014, Carter said he still had feelings for her. Duff, however, wasn't on the same page. "I don't know what to say about it! It was so many years ago. I literally haven't seen him in... so, it's uncomfortable," she said.
The singer showed up at Lohan's hotel room door, but she sent him away because she didn't know him! "I didn't know it was him. I said, 'Well, you're very good-looking—can I help you?' He was like, 'I'm Harry. Gavin and Michael sent me here.' I was in bed. I was like, 'I'm going to bed but it was nice to meet you,'" explained the actress.
When asked in an interview if he would date Lawrence, Bieber answered, "Oh yeah. Bae for sure. 100%." The actress, however, had a different answer to the same question in another interview: "I'm going to say a hard no."
Back in 2012, the actress revealed her crush to Ellen DeGeneres. "I just read two days ago that Adam Levine is single again... I’m just saying. Look, we would be cute," she said. The singer later showed appreciation for her words, but reportedly refused when DeGeneres offered to set them up on a date.
The singer asked the 'Schitt's Creek' star on a date. Lovato and Hampshire even talked about it on the singer's podcast. They never got involved romantically, but became friends.
The 'Brokeback Mountain' (2005) actor was rejected by the the actress, who reportedly declined an invitation for dinner.
Reportedly, Mayer had too much of a reputation for dating famous women way too often, so Bullock rejected his advances.
Franco tried to set up a date with the 'Twilight' actress after meeting her at the Toronto Film Festival in 2012. Stewart apparently turned him down. Twice.
The Material Girl tried to flirt with the singer, telling him, "I'd like to know what you're thinking." But D'Angelo saw Madonna force a woman out of her seat earlier, so he replied, "I'm thinking you're rude."
The 'Parks and Recreation' actor managed to swap phone numbers with the 'Gossip Girl' star. Though apparently Lively didn't reply to his text messages.
An 11-year-old Hough fell in love with 'Harry Potter' himself while working as an extra in one of the movies. She wrote him a Valentine's Day letter, but didn't get a response from him. The poor thing!
The actress had a supposed list of conquests leaked, and Franco's name was there. However, the actor has denied ever having been romantically involved with Lindsay Lohan.
It was not until they were adults that Thorne sent a flirty DM to the Disney Channel alumni. But she messaged a fan account instead of Sprouse's real account. The whole thing was made public, but nothing came of it.
The singer slid into the 'Captain America' actor's DMs. Evans did reply, saying, "No shame in a drunk DM, god knows I’ve done worse on this app lol" (poking fun at a leaked private pic he once posted). That was that, as far as we know.
The singer reportedly asked her friend Jennifer Lawrence to set her up on a date with the actor, but Cooper refused, saying she was too young.
