Just because actors are rich and famous doesn’t mean that they can’t be rejected and ghosted. They often have to deal with one of the most difficult things called rejection. And when they’re turned down, it’s often made public.
Let’s talk about 7 popular celebrities who were turned down by their crush.
1. Emma Watson by Tom Felton
Emma Watson once admitted that she had a huge crush on her Harry Potter co-star Tom Felton. “Between sort of the ages of 10 and 12, I had a really terrible crush on Tom Felton,” Emma Watson said.
The talented actress who performed Hermione in the Franchise, developed feelings for Felton while filming the first two movies. The actor is well known for his role as Harry Potter’s nemesis Draco and when it comes to his feeling about her, they didn’t match. As rumors have it, he rejected the actress.
2. Aaron Carter by Hillary Duff
Remember when Aaron Carter dated Hillary Duff, those were good times, but a few years ago, he tweeted that he wants Hillary to leave him alone. It all started when Hillary was questioned about her ex declaring his love for her on Twitter in an interview with Cosmo to which her response wasn’t exactly pleasant.
“Him reaching out through social media it’s ridiculous,” she said. “But then, people do it all the time like Chris Brown and Karuchay, come on guys keep it between text messages,” she added.
Soon after the interview went viral Aaron tweeted that he does not get some of this and he told Hillary to stop talking about him as he did.
3 Selena Gomez by George Shelley
American beauty Selena Gomez has had a crush on the former X Factor contestant George Shelley and she even gave him a special video message.
Selena ended her relationship with Justin Bieber at that time and she has openly invited George to take her on a date through a video message played to George at the weekend in front of his band mates. The singer said: “Hey George it’s Selena, I was in London for a bit and I’m bummed I missed you. So next time, give me a call.”

The sad thing is that George never called and Sel was not thrilled about it. During her next visit to London, she called him out in an interview with Capital FM saying: “Since I’m here I’m very offended that George didn’t call me from Union J.”
Well, even if it looks like she was joking, that must have hurt. By the way, back when Justin Bieber the famous ex of Selena was in his fame days, he was singing his song “One Less Lonely Girl” to Selena during a show. It was all planned, but as you can see, he was truly into Selena during that time.
4. James Mcvey by Sophie Turner

Then 20-year-old James and Sophie 18, were hanging out at music festivals and were going to fancy restaurants such as Nando’s and they were sharing cute couple photos on Instagram but the real drama came after the breakup. Sophie called James creepy and she even blamed him for photoshopping a pic of them together.
