/r/Deuxmoi talks about unrequited love stories amongst celebrities
besides Drake and everybody?
I feel like what you’re asking for is probably in the cute and maybe devastatingly funny way but the only one I know is Johnathan Safran Foer leaving his wife because he interpreted the wrong signs from Natalie Portman and she was like “No thanks ?!”
Also Moby and Natalie Portman, lol.
------------------------------------------
Nicole kidman and jimmy fallon
Jimmy's face when he finds out is too funny
That might be Fallon’s crowning moment on the show. You can’t fake that shock and confusion.
------------------------------------------
I always thought it was kinda funny that Taylor Swift wrote a song about having a crush on Adam Young (Owl City) after they met, and he responded by covering the song but putting her name in it, but then (to my knowledge?) she never reacted or responded at all to his cover and never mentioned him again haha. Poor guy. Kind of hoping he does backing vocals on the re-recorded version
“Taylor I was so in love with you” lives rent-free in my head
Ok I just googled this to refresh my memory of it and I'm losing my mind. He did way, WAY too much omg. Like a full public love letter, and he covered the song, and put her name in it, and he had another love letter in the music video. I know she was weirded out😭
------------------------------------------
Aaron Carter creepily declaring his love for Hillary Duff on twitter 20 years after they broke up as teenagers saying he’d spend the rest of his life trying to get back with her
------------------------------------------
Mark Hamill had a major crush on Carrie Fisher but she was majorly in love with Harrison Ford (who was married) lol and too busy having an affair with him to notice Mark.
------------------------------------------
James Franco : “I fell in love with Lana Del Rey, but I wasn’t the kind of man she was looking for.”
Honestly, good for her
Yeah, they had a summer where they spent so much time together. He actually was going to publish an entire book about her that was supposed to be real and imaginary conversations with Lana Del Rey. It then was scrapped and it seemed their friendship ended around the same time. There's speculation that High By the Beach is about Franco.
------------------------------------------
I am convinced Leonardo DiCaprio is deeply in love with Kate Winslet, and so he chases the 24 year olds as a way to hide his pain.
Nah, he’s just a creep
------------------------------------------
David Schwimmer and Jennifer Aniston. That chemistry was unreal.
The clips of them flirting with each other that they showed during the reunion special live in my mind rent free.
------------------------------------------
Eminem and Mariah Carey
I always felt bad about Mariah saying she “needed to be drunk to fuck him because of how ugly he was” ACCORDING TO HIM obviously
This one is my favorite because I still don't know what the fuck actually happened, but my messy ass absolutely loved the drama.
------------------------------------------
Nikki Blonsky from Hairspray and Zac Efron
Hahahah, I’ve been invested in celeb gossip for far too long so absolutely remember this. I just remember feeling so much second-hand embarrassment for her when they were on some talk show and the hosts were encouraging them to kiss (I think?) and she was beside herself and ACHING for him to do it. He was with Vanessa at the time and clearly wasn’t going to and I was just mortified for her.
------------------------------------------
Kristen Stewart talked about being completely in love with Anton Yelchin when she was younger after filming something together and he wasn’t interested at all.
------------------------------------------
Johnny Knoxville and Jessica Simpson. The You’re Wrong About episode about her memoir goes in to much more detail. They would have been a sweet couple imo.
Ooh did something happen during Dukes of Hazzard? That’s around when her and Nick split up, isn’t it?
A bit of an emotional affair on both sides during filming, sounds like he sorta showed her what love could be like and really showed the cracks up in her marriage.
She says in her book that they sent love letters to eachother for like a year when they were both still married
------------------------------------------
Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston
Oh he absolutely loved Whitney, I don’t think it was a secret. IIRC, he called her his one true love and spoke at her funeral.
I think he was into her, but she didn't reciprocate at all. Whitney's type was Bobby Brown, handsome black guy with a streetwise, bad boy image. Kevin was several years older than her, too. In retrospect, Whitney would probably have been better off she had married Kevin instead and gone to live on his ranch.
------------------------------------------
Quentin Tarantino and Uma Thurman
He was desperately in love with her when he was writing Kill Bill in 2000 she was married to Ethan and they had just had Maya. He lived with them for a while as he wrote it and I think became a bit obsessed with her.
The script of Kill bit clearly relates his feelings - she broke his heart because she did not love him that way. He was also clearly very angry she did not love him back.
I don't think they formally dated but I do think they fooled around in the early 90s when they were going to raves together and doing a ton of drugs.
------------------------------------------
According to Miriam Margolyes’ autobiography, Claire Danes was besotted with Leonardo di Caprio on the set of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet (1996) but he was uninterested and apparently partying with a cool crowd while she was quite separate. Not an infallible source but a cracking read!
------------------------------------------
Did anyone mention Piers Morgan and Meghan Markle yet? 😬
------------------------------------------
For any Gilmore Girls fans out there…the show runner who took over for the Palladinos in season 7, David S. Rosenthal, was OBSESSED with Heidi Klum! He wrote an entire play about her despite being married, his family had him temporarily committed over it! It’s a bizarre story.
------------------------------------------
Demi lovato and nick jonas. She wrote an entire song about how she wanted to hookup with him
What song was it?
Ruin The Friendship on her Tell Me You Love Me album. literally spells out their names using the first letter of each word in the bridge
------------------------------------------
Wasn't James Dean supposed to be in love with Pier Angeli and she married someone else?
Her family basically forced her to marry Vic Damone, who was from a similar Italian Catholic background as her. Even if James Dean had converted for her, I don't know if her parents would've accepted him -- I know from experience, being the non-Italian, non-Catholic partner at one time.
------------------------------------------
From unrequited love to requited love: Rachel Weisz and Daniel Craig (allegedly). They first met when they were in a play together in 1994, and according to this Vogue article “Rumour has it Craig held a torch for her ever since”. They then went on to date other people - Rachel was in a relationship with Darren Aronofsky from 2001-2010; Daniel dated Heike Makatsch from 1996-2004 and Satsuki Mitchell from 2005-2010. Rachel and Daniel later got together in 2010 after working on the movie Dream House, and finally got married in 2011.
------------------------------------------
Old Hollywood: Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney. Mickey thought she wasn’t attractive enough for him, and ended up with Lana Turner instead
------------------------------------------
Apparently Simon Amstell had a major thing for Ben Whishaw (he said he was obsessed for four or five years).
I remember him mentioning how he liked how skinny Ben was? Here's a passage from the book describing the times he met the "ethereal actor" he had a crush on who eventually let him know he had a composer boyfriend. One of his standup specials also apparently included twenty minutes on him. He fictionalized him in his tv show too.
I always remember how odd it was that he was so openly into a guy who I don't believe was publicly out yet and it was unreciprocated.
------------------------------------------
Jim Carrey and Emma Stone
I can’t tell if this was a joke. I sure hope it was
