Rejection is a big fear that prevents people from doing a lot of things. They are afraid to apply for that job, ask for help or ask someone out. Despite rejection not having life-changing consequences. When you get rejected, literally nothing changes about your situation, but in your head, you may think that you are not worthy enough and may feel like a failure.

Maybe it helps to know that we all get rejected sometimes. Even the people we admire, like celebrities. They not only have been rejected, but also openly talk about it and admit to their feelings that were refused by other celebrities.

Bored Panda presents you with a list of celebrities who reached out to their crush, but got their dreams crushed instead. Do you have any funny rejection stories? Share them with us in the comments!

Brooke Shields revealed to Andy Cohen that she was once invited on a date by Donald Trump. During the interview, her facial expression showed that it wasn’t a pleasant experience and she actually told Andy that it happened right after the former President divorced from Marla Maples. 

Trump said, “I really think we should date because you’re America’s sweetheart and I’m America’s richest man and the people would love it.” Brooke had to turn down the offer because she had a boyfriend, but if it wasn’t the case, it didn’t seem that she would have agreed to it anyway.

Donald Trump Was Rejected By Salma Hayek Who Already Had A Boyfriend

Salma Hayek went on The Daily Show With Trevor Noah in 2017 and revealed that she once attended an event with her boyfriend where Donald Trump was also present. He noticed that she was cold and put on his jacket on her shoulders and later tried to befriend the woman’s boyfriend. The friendship between the two didn’t last because it was all for show to get Salma’s phone number.

Trump called Salma and invited only her to dinner. “He’s inviting me out, and I’m like, ‘What about my boyfriend? Am I crazy? Are you asking me out? You know I have a boyfriend.” Trump was not convinced it was a good enough reason to refuse a date and said, “He’s not good enough for you. He’s not important, he’s not big enough for you. You have to go out with me.” Although the actress didn’t get married to that boyfriend, she refused the date at that time.

Lizzo Was Rejected By Chris Evans Who Didn't Take Her Business Proposal Seriously

Turns out, the Captain America actor Chris Evans can play the piano and plays it well. He caught the attention of singer Lizzo who was working on her album Special and thought it would be cool if Chris could play the piano for her album.

She reached out to the actor and his response was “ha, ha.” It seems that Chris didn’t believe it was an actual business offer and maybe thought she was jokingly responding to a video he shared online of him playing the instrument.

Nicole was expecting Jimmy to ask for her number on another occasion as well. It was at a party at director David Fincher’s house and she didn’t leave with everyone, waiting for Jimmy, just to be rejected again.

The actress visited Jimmy’s show in 2017 and opened up about her crush, which the man had no idea about and was in genuine shock that he could have dated Nicole Kidman.

After the man expressed his admiration, Janelle actually responded with a tweet saying “Always positive and endearing to see a man show admiration for an Electric Lady. I am Honored. Thank you @Tyrese.”

When I was on tour … I saw Nicki for the first time and, like, literally fell in love. She had this snap-back hat on that said ‘Minaj.’ She used to wear that every single day. She was like a theater student and she was so cold at rapping.”

Selena Gomez Was Rejected By George Shelley Who Eventually Turned Out To Be Gay

When English boy band Union J appeared on the CBBC show Friday Download, they received a video message from Selena Gomez. It was specifically addressed to one of the members, George Shelley, because she heard that he had a major crush on her, “Hey, George, it’s Selena. I was in London for a bit and I’m actually bummed I missed you, so next time maybe give me a call.”

Selena did come to London not too long after and when talking with Capital FM, she said that she was actually really offended that George didn’t call, though she did it in a playful tone. A few years after that, George came out as gay, so maybe that was part of the reason he didn’t accept the invitation.

Lana Condor Rejected Noah Centineo By Not Accepting His Offer To Practice Their Lines Waiting For An Audition

Lana Condor and Noah Centineo are known for their roles as love interests in the movie To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, but their first encounter was far from romantic. 

Noah Centineo remembers that they first met in the audition room and were waiting to be called. He thought Lana was looking nervous, so he asked if she wanted to run the lines with him as in his experience, it’s easier to do with a stranger before the casting director. 

However, Lana just bluntly said “No” and Noah described his feelings he then had to E! News: “Oh, that’s cool, fine, I’ll just die here.”

Social media persona Celina Powell doesn’t have a very good reputation as she is known for publicly announcing some famous rapper got her pregnant and accusing them of cheating on her. 

As we can see from screenshots that weren’t officially confirmed, it must have reached Drake’s ears as well, because when Celina messaged him, the rapper was firstly creeped out that she had his phone number and then instantly rejected her.

Later that year, Celina went on the Plug Talk Podcast and claimed that Drake once changed his phone number because she kept sending him nudes and was proud of this achievement.
