A turnaround: celebrities rejected by their star crushes

It’s hard to believe, but even recognized sex symbols were turned down.

In 2011, when Justin Bieber was 16 years old (and all the schoolgirls in the world were already crazy about him), he met Rihanna, then 23 years old, during a basketball game. The young singer did not hesitate and immediately asked Riri for her phone number, but she refused it. Justin later opened up about his unsuccessful flirting on social media himself, but ultimately, out of sin, he deleted that post. Why remember the bad?

Office romances are not uncommon in a regular office, let alone in the world of stars. When you spend a lot of time with someone on set, you may accidentally fall in love. Especially if you’re a romantic girl, like Emma Watson was when she fell in love with the main “villain” of the Harry Potter saga, Tom Felton.

“Between the ages of ten and twelve, I had a terrible crush on Tom Felton, to the point where I would go to the set in the morning and look at the call sheets to see if he would be on set that day.” — Emma admitted in an interview with Jonathan Ross.

Tom knew that the leading lady, Hermione, was crazy about him, but he completely dismissed her feelings. He was several years older and considered Emma a younger sister. However, this romantic misunderstanding did not prevent them from becoming good friends later. And fans are always touched by joint photos of the actors.

Megan Fox — recognized sexual symbol. And what do you think? Even she was refused. In 2009, while touring in support of the film “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” the actress became interested in K-pop singer and actor Rain, whom she nicknamed “the Korean Justin Timberlake.”

It was reported that Agent Fox attempted to set up a meeting with them, but Rain showed no interest. The most incredible thing is that Megan didn’t give up and five years later she tried again while she was in South Korea for the premiere of the movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.” But Rain ignored him again!

When Taylor Swift discovered that Jennifer Lawrence knew Bradley Cooper, she immediately asked the actress to introduce her to the actor at the Golden Globes party in 2013 (Jen and Bradley had just starred together in the film My Boyfriend Is Psycho). But Cooper didn’t appreciate the singer’s approach and refused a meeting with Taylor.

“I’m old enough to be his father,” Bradley told Entertainment Tonight, explaining his coldness.

A dubious excuse, as Cooper was dating actress Suki Waterhouse, who was 16 years younger than Bradley. Maybe he was just afraid that after breaking up with Taylor, he’d end up as an anti-hero in one of her songs?
