Hi, guys!
It’s me, Samantha!
From a star who was denied three times to a guy that had no clue he missed out on a
stunning actress, here are some celebrities that were rejected by other famous people!
12.
The Biebs By Selena
Once upon a time, this well-known celebrity couple wasn’t as close as they became later
on.
When Justin Bieber was still rising to stardom, he was rejected by his first love before they
officially got together.
Selena Gomez wasn’t overly interested in the Biebs even though he romantically sang
to her on stage in 2009 during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest.
Justin performed “One Less Lonely Girl” for the Disney Channel starlet and flirted
with her while he serenaded her.
Shortly after their on-stage appearance, people suspected Selena and Justin were dating.
However, when Selena went on Ellen, she quickly shut down the rumors.
Ellen asked how she had time to date the singer with her hectic schedule.
Selena shockingly replied that Bieber was like her “little brother.”
She added that they hang out fairly often and he’s a nice person.
Gomez faced a lot of backlash from Justin’s fans for rejecting his flirtatious advances.
Why did they care so much?
Nobody knows.
But, fast forward a couple of years and Justin was no longer like a little brother to the
“Good For You” singer.
They debuted as a romantic duo at the 2011 Oscars Party.
11.
Carter By Duff
Aaron Carter and Hilary Duff dated a long time ago… when she was about thirteen.
Their youthful love took place when Duff was starring in the Disney series Lizzie McGuire
in 2000.
Carter and Hilary were together on and off for about three years and went through a lot
of drama as he was seeing Lindsay Lohan during their “off” times.
Hilary eventually moved on and tied the knot with Mike Comrie, a former NHL player, in
2010.
The two have a son together named Luca Cruz Comrie.
About two years later, Carter told Fox News that he regretted breaking up with Hilary.
He kept referring to the actress as the “love of his life” for two years following the
confession of his ongoing feelings for her.
Duff later stated during an interview with BuzzFeed that she felt weird about Aaron’s
undying love for her since they hardly knew each other at the point.
Although Hilary and Comrie got divorced, she didn’t get back with Aaron.
Nowadays, she’s with Matthew Koma, and they had a daughter in October 2018.
10.
Drake By Rihanna
These two were very close for a long time and shared several steamy on-stage performances.
However, things seemed to go downhill for the friends at the VMAs in 2016.
Drake decided to try and take their relationship to the next level, but Rihanna wasn’t having
it.
The “God’s Plan” rapper presented RiRi with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award
and tried to make a move on her while handing her the trophy.
He said that he’d been in love with the singer since he was twenty-two years old and
attempted to kiss her on the lips while hugging her after his speech.
But, Rihanna swiftly dodged the smooch, which landed on her cheek instead.
Although the duo kissed during his concert in Miami around the same time, their apparent
lust disappeared quickly, and they were seen being awkward around each other at a birthday
party.
In 2018, Rihanna admitted that standing there during Drake’s heartfelt speech at the 2016
VMAs wasn’t enjoyable for her, and she didn’t appreciate being “put on blast.”
She further stated that they were no longer friends.
9.
Julianne By Daniel
Who didn’t love the magical wonder-boy Harry Potter when they were growing up watching
the show?
Pretty much everyone had a crush on one of the wizards or witches in the series.
The same goes for Julianne Hough.
She was cast as an extra in the Sorcerer’s Stone film when she was eleven years old.
Hough later said that she was living in London at the time and even went to school there.
In the movie, she played a student of the Gryffindor house, just like Radcliffe, and
she quickly fell for the youthful actor.
She decided to confess her love for him and wrote him a letter.
Along with the note, she bought him a Valentino Beanie Baby for Valentine’s Day.
But, Daniel never responded to Julianne.
In 2012, she interviewed with Kelly Ripa and noted that she was “really embarrassed”
about her crush on Radcliffe.
Hough laughingly added that she’d walk away every time she ran into him at events to avoid
the subject altogether.
8.
McVey By Sophie
James McVey and Sophie Turner dated back in 2014, but things seemed to turn sour quickly.
They posted photographs of them attending festivals and going to the beach together,
and everything appeared on the up and up.
However, Sophie and James started feuding on Twitter seemingly out of nowhere.
The latter posted a photograph of them asking Sophie if their relationship was just an act.
She responded asking him to stop and told him that he was “freaking [her] out.”
The spat made headlines as the lovebirds were happy right before they tweeted at each other.
But, years later McVey talked openly about his and Sophie’s apparent fight.
He said that the whole thing was a joke, and they were actually still together for several
weeks following the incident.
Nowadays, McVey is engaged to Kirstie Brittain, and Sophie is engaged to marry to Joe Jonas.
7.
Bieber By Rihanna
It’s probably not too surprising that Rihanna rejected Justin Bieber, especially since it
was so long ago.
Then-sixteen-year-old Justin got the bright idea to ask the “Work” singer out while
they were sitting next to each other at a basketball game.
Later on, the Biebs told Chelsea Handler during an interview that the encounter didn’t work
out in his favor.
After he asked her out, Rihanna was quick to turn the teen down.
She allegedly told baby Bieber that he was “too young.”
But, Justin didn’t take the rejection too hard.
He posted a picture on Instagram of them sitting next to each other with a caption saying he
asked for her number, and she replied, “nah.”
The lighthearted attempt at going out with RiRi was all fun and games, but who doesn’t
want to date this gorgeous star?
6.
Selena By Shelley
English boy band Union J’s member George Shelley didn’t want to date Disney Channel
star Selena Gomez back in 2013.
After Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez broke up for the first time, she wanted Shelley
to take her on a date.
She sent the singer a video message, which was played in front of George and the rest
of Union J. In the video Selena said that she was bummed out after missing Shelley when
she was in London.
She added that next time she was in the city, he should give her a ring.
George said later on that he was in shock when Gomez sent him the message, considering
that she’s such a big star and even thought she might’ve been a lookalike.
Despite his plan to call Selena, George didn’t end up following through.
During an interview with Capital FM in London, she called Shelley out for never hitting her
up.
5.
Emma By Tom
Two more Harry Potter cast members were involved in a rejection, but this time, Harry himself
wasn’t involved.
Apparently, Hermione used to be into bad boys.
Emma Watson admitted during a 2011 interview with Seventeen magazine that she had a “huge
crush on Tom Felton” during the filming of Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets.
She even added that Felton was the first boy she like-liked.
But, at that point, they’d grown together as great friends and weren’t romantically
involved.
Emma further stated that Tom knew she used to have a crush on him and that they talked
and laughed about it.
During a 2018 interview with Seventeen, Felton noted that he had no idea Emma fancied him
when they were kids.
He also said that there weren’t many romances on the set of the Harry Potter movies because
they grew up together with more of a “family” vibe.
But, that hasn’t stopped the fans from imagining romantic scenarios between Draco and Hermione.
During the same interview, Tom and the questioner noted that these fanfictions have something
to do with the scene where Hermione hits Draco in Prisoner of Azkaban.
Why does punching Draco mean the two must be into each other?
We have no idea.
4.
Drake By Nicki
This singer seems to get rejected by many of his lady-loves, including Nicki Minaj.
Back in 2013, reports suggested that Drake was head-over-heels for the “Anaconda”
rapper.
According to Hollywood Life, a source said that everyone knew Drake loved Minaj, and
he wasn’t trying to keep his feelings secret.
Although Nicki made it clear that she wasn’t interested in a romantic relationship with
Drake, he didn’t give up on her.
He continued going after her, and it seemed to pay off for him one night.
The duo apparently hooked up.
But, for Nicki, that was all it was: a one-night stand.
However, Drake thought that it meant more than that.
He wanted a serious girlfriend, but Minaj remained uninterested in dating the singer
for the long-term.
Drake lashed out at Nicki in his song “Tuscan Leather,” in which he rapped that he’s
not speaking to her any longer.
But, these two eventually made up and appear to be friends again nowadays.
3.
Niall By Katy
In 2017, Katy Perry insisted that former One Direction member Niall Horan was always flirting
with her.
These two bonded in 2010 after Horan auditioned for X-Factor when Perry was a judge.
Since Niall made it big time, he and Katy have continued a close friendship.
Throughout their relationship, Horan and Perry have always been flirtatious, and on several
occasions, he’s joked about marrying the “I Kissed a Girl” singer.
Although their fans would love to see a romance bloom between these two celebs, Katy has insisted
that they’re just great friends.
She also said that he’s always trying to flirt with her, but she could “babysit”
him and that she’s like his mother.
Despite Katy’s playful comments, Horan reassured everyone that he only wants friendship with
the star.
He noted that Perry is always trying to “patronise” him and spread rumors about him, but not in
a mean way.
These two just seem to be long-time pals having a blast!
2.
Nicole By Jimmy
One of the more interesting rejections in the celebrity world was between Jimmy Fallon
and Nicole Kidman.
You might be wondering why this one is different from the others.
The answer is: Jimmy had no clue that he was turning Kidman down!
If he had, then it probably wouldn’t have ever happened.
When Nicole appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, she opened up about her attempts
at getting to know him on a more personal level.
She said that she’d tried wooing him two times in the early 2000s.
However, Fallon was shocked to hear the news.
A mutual friend of theirs organized a meeting at Jimmy’s apartment, which he believed
was only to discuss a film project.
He stated later on that he was nervous upon her arrival because she was “the most beautiful
person” to go into his place.
Jimmy added that he was trying to stay professional and didn’t even consider that someone so
gorgeous would be interested in him romantically.
Fallon continued talking about their encounter at his apartment, stating that he put out
saltine crackers and brie cheese for their meeting, and they eventually started playing
video games.
Kidman also recalled that Jimmy was wearing a baseball cap and sweatpants, and he brought
out leftover Chinese food.
He said that he didn’t get the movie role... or Nicole for that matter.
But, that was only the first time Kidman tried to get things going with Fallon.
The second time, they were partying it up at David Fincher’s house, and she decided
to let Jimmy ask for her number again.
However, Fallon was still oblivious and didn’t think anything of it.
Luckily for these two, their romantic lives worked out perfectly in the end.
Jimmy Fallon has been married to Nancy Juvonen since 2007, and Nicole Kidman tied the knot
with Keith Urban back in 2006.

Justin By J-Law
Justin Bieber gets number one on our list because he just can’t seem to stop being
rejected by his crushes.
Of course, he’s happily married to Hailey Baldwin now, and you can’t get much more
gorgeous than her.
But, once upon a time, another smokin’ blonde sent Bieber packing after he tried asking
her out.
Who, you ask?
Well, none other than Jennifer Lawrence.
Back in 2015, the Biebs said J-Law was seductive and “cute” during a radio interview.
When Jennifer was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, a fan called in to ask if
she would ever date Justin.
Not only did the actress state she’d never go out with him, but she also gave the question
a “hard no.”
Ouch.
But, Jennifer thanked him for the comment.
I’m sure there are tons of ladies out there that would love to hear Justin compliment
their looks!
