Speaking at the Locarno Film Festival on August 8, Emma Thompson shared a humorous anecdote: in 1998, on the day her divorce was finalized, Donald Trump called and asked her out. She initially thought it was a prank and declined. Reflecting later, she joked that saying "yes" might have changed the course of American history.

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! 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?
