22 Celebs Reveal The Weird Celeb Crushes They Don't Like Talking About
Everyone has a weird celebrity crush. Yet we can rest easy knowing that our feelings for the not-so-traditionally-attractive types won't come to light or be circulated around the world. However, for the following stars, when they let it slip that they're crushing on other stars, before they know it - it's world news. More embarrassingly, they could even get the chance to meet their weird crush at a showbiz event in the future - and that's when things can start to get really interesting.
There are many famous stars who are well-known for not quite matching their partner in terms of looks. We're still trying to figure out what went on between Katy Perry and Russell Brand. But maybe we're at our happiest with someone who is less attractive than us?
Maxim online reported that according to researchers at Florida State University, "The results reveal that having a physically attractive (partner) may have negative consequences for [you]." They revealed that if you 'date down' then you are less likely to feel self-conscious and doubting yourself all the time. Sure, we can laugh in the face of these weird crushes but if in some bizarre universe these stars happened to date, they'd make for very happy couples indeed.
22 Ariana Grande Finally Got To Meet Her "Lifelong Crush", Jim Carrey
Ariana Grande is one of the most desired pop divas on the planet but she seems to have eyes for her "lifelong crush" - comedy legend Jim Carrey.
During an appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael she was quizzed over who her crush was and without pausing she confessed, "My childhood crush, like, my lifelong crush, it kind of all goes together - it's Jim Carrey. I love him so much."
The One Last Time singer also admitted that when she finally met her crush, she broke down in tears. Continuing, "I met him, and like, cried. It was really weird. It was so weird. It was so uncharacteristic of me. I'm usually sort of chill. I'm usually somewhat contained, but I met him and [makes crying face]." She then added, "I was kind of nervous to meet him, because, I was like, you know, he's been my crush forever. What if he's not as nice as I'm expecting? He was so over-the-top nice, and perfect, and just as I hoped he'd be. [He said to me in] his classic Jim Carrey, 'Nice to meet ya. Thank you. Remember, be nice.' I was like, 'Oh my God, you're so cute. I love you.'"
The Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber star is not her usual type of guy, as she previously dated Big Sean and Jai Brooks. She has been dating rapper Mac Miller since August 2016.
21 Scarlett Johansson's Had A Lot Of Love Lost, But Recently Is Crushing On Gordon Ramsey
Of all the people in the world that Scarlett Johannsson could crush on, she secretly wants only celebrity chef and foul-mouthed reality star, Gordon Ramsey. During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, she revealed, "Honestly, I'm like somebody who likes Gordon Ramsay." The Ghost In The Shell star added she believes he is the "hottest guy." Unfortunately, she might be slightly disappointed, as the ranting chef has been happily married to his wife, Tana, for 22 years, and they have four children together.
Plus, Scarlett hasn't been the luckiest when it comes to finding true love. Her marriage to Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds broke down after three years when she accused him of being jealous of her career during an interview with Parade Magazine. She then wed again, this time to advertising executive Romain Dauric, but the pair divorced in 2017. This time she's doing things differently and has vowed she won't talk about her personal life again.
In a public statement, she said, "As a devoted mother and private person and with complete awareness that my daughter will one day be old enough to read the news about herself, I would only like to say that I will never, ever be commenting on the dissolution of my marriage."
20 Jennifer Lawrence Has Been In Love With Larry David "For A Really Long Time"
One of the more unusual love stories in showbiz is that of Jennifer Lawrence and Larry David - although one side isn't reciprocating. When the Academy Award-winning actress was asked by Vanity Fair what qualities she looks for in a guy, she replied, "Do you like Larry David? I'm in love with him, and I have been for a really long time. I worship Woody Allen, but I don't feel it below the belt the way I do for Larry David."
Then Larry David was told of the comments during the New York Festival and he joked, "[She is a] smart kid. It's a shame that I'm about 40 years older than she is." The Curb Your Enthusiasm star added, "I don't think I could do it. On one hand, it's very flattering and on another hand, it's kind of a shame - in terms of timing. I'd have fun watching the reality show of it, though."
Things Jennifer will be looking for in her new man is someone who avoids conflict.
JLaw herself has been single since she split from Mother! director Darren Aronofsky. She told Vanity Fair, "I don't like fighting, and I find argumentative people the most annoying people on the planet. Like, why do you still want to be fighting? It's just unattractive."
19 Adele Absolutely Crushes On Rihanna And Wants To Be In Her Squad
Adele has always had a girl-crush on Rihanna, but when she watched her perform on the X Factor talent show, she was even more confused. In 2012, the Barbadian singer performed her hit What's My Name and had removable trousers that caused quite a stir. Adele confessed to The Sun, "If Rihanna wanted me, I'd [be] with her. She's hot. [On the X Factor] she had pinstripe flares on. She whipped them off and I said to all my girlfriends, 'Are you feeling [things for Rihanna] right now?'"
She then added, "I love boys, love men. I am fascinated by them even though at times they let you down and hurt [you]. But right now I am more single than ever. It's so depressing." The Hello singer didn't have to feel depressed for long, as she met Simon Konecki - a New York-born charity CEO. He runs charity Drop4Drop which campaigns to provide clean water in poor countries.
Speaking at one on her live shows in Brisbane, she told her fans, "As bad as a breakup can be, as bitter and horrible and messy as it can be, that feeling when you first fall for someone else is the best feeling on earth." Wait - is she talking about her husband or Rihanna?
18 Sophie Turner Might Have Her Hand On A Jonas Brother But Her True "Love" Is John Cena
Sophie Turner might be engaged to Joe Jonas, but she would likely kick him to the curb if only she could get her hands on John Cena. Speaking with Elle magazine for their 'Obsession' interview, the actress who plays Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones, confessed, "It was John Cena, the wrestler."
She was actually lucky enough to meet her crush, revealing, "I sat next to him on a plane like a year ago and I didn't say anything. We were so close and he's so big and I was just thinking, 'I love you. I love you so much.' We need to get him on Game of Thrones. He could play like a hunky knight who doesn't wear a shirt."
Sophie revealed that she didn't get a photo of her hunk because she hates when fans take photos of her without permission.
In an interview with Marie Claire, she said, "I find it really rude, and I will be rude back. It's such an invasion of privacy. I could be out with my mum on her birthday and I will ask them to delete it. I would much rather them come up and ask for a photo. I will probably be fine with it… unless I look [awful]."
17 Emma Watson Has Had Eyes On Kevin Costner Since She Was 12
Emma Watson has three big loves in her life: Harry Potter fandom, America, and The Bodyguard actor, Kevin Costner. She confessed to W magazine, "My cinematic crush has been pretty much the same since I was 12: Kevin Costner."
She also revealed that by complete luck she bumped into him - but got too nervous to speak. She added, "I met him in an elevator the other day, and I couldn't even speak. He said hello, because he is lovely like that, and I couldn't say anything back."
Her crush likely spotted her right away, as she is one of the most recognizable stars on the planet thanks to her role as Hermione Granger. Although, she spent most of her teenage years refusing to accept just how famous she was, continuing, "I lived in denial for as long as I possibly could. Ignoring fame was my rebellion, in a funny way. I was insistent on being normal and doing normal things. It probably wasn't advisable to go to college in America and room with a complete stranger. And it probably wasn't wise to share a bathroom with eight other people in a coed dorm. Looking back, that was crazy." We bet she still managed top grades, though.
16 Miley Cyrus Said Coldplay's Chris Martin Is Her "Ideal Man"
Imagine a world where 'Miley Martin' was an actual thing. Well, that could happen if Miley finally landed her "ideal man" - Coldplay frontman Chris Martin. She told The Mirror, "My ideal man is Chris Martin. But my mum says I have terrible taste." This came even before adding her other preferences, which included: "Dark hair, preferably kind of tall, who likes Coldplay and plays the guitar." We get it, Miley - you have a thing for Coldplay.
We're not sure if Chris would be willing to return the compliment, but he certainly isn't shy when it comes to dating famous women. Following the breakdown of his marriage to Gwyneth Paltrow, he has been romantically linked to Katy Perry, Jennifer Lawrence, Kylie Minogue, Alexa Chung, and most recently, 50 Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson.
Miley is also set to marry her on-again-off-again fiancé, Liam Hemsworth. Now that she has matured in the relationship, she feels a lot less needy.
Revealing to Billboard magazine, "I don't like when relationships are two halves trying to make a whole… It's that 'I can't eat, I can't sleep.' Well, that's because you're so used to depending on someone else. So I don't think that I have that codependency."
15 Kristen Stewart Is Torn Between Her Two Crushes: Harrison Ford & Amy Adams
Not settled on just one celebrity crush - Kristen Stewart has two. The actress revealed to W Magazine, "I used to have a huge thing for Harrison Ford," before adding, "Amy Adams, man, she's my favorite actress[.] I have a total crush on her because I got to work with her too - she's awesome." Amy and Kristen starred opposite of each other for the film On The Road, which unfortunately didn't score well at the box office or with critics.
Kristen revealed to Elle that she's more than happy to embrace both sides, revealing, "I've been deeply in love with everyone I've dated. Did you think I was faking it? I've always really embraced a duality. And really, truly, believed in it and never felt confused or struggling."
She had a high profile relationship with her Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson before she was photographed kissing the married director of Snow White and the Huntsman, Rupert Sanders - who was 19 years her senior. Kristen continued, "When I was dating Rob, the public was the enemy - and that is no way to live. It wasn't this grand statement, 'I was so confused! Now I've realized who I am!' I have not been struggling."
14 Robert Pattinson Prefers A Mature Woman Like Jane Fonda, Too
Robert Pattinson hasn't always had the best of luck when it has come to famous girlfriends, but maybe he needs an older woman in his life. Clearly, that's what he really wants, as he told Elle magazine, "I always liked Jane Fonda" - who, by the way, is 49 years his senior!
He also confessed that he had a poster of Kate Moss on his wall when he was younger, too.
Unfortunately, Jane Fonda had recently revealed that she is no longer dating. She told Extra, "'I'm not dating anymore, but I did up until a couple of years ago. I'm 80, I've closed up shop." We guess Rob arrived just a little too late for this crush to become a reality.
Alongside his public split with Kristen Stewart, the British actor also called it quits with his fiancée, singer FKA Twigs, last year. Although there wasn't as much drama as there was in his last romance, an insider told Daily Mail the couple just "grew tired" and had been "drifting apart" for some time. Further, "Rob is tired of it, has called off their engagement and told friends they have split. With so much -history between them, though, there are still strong feelings there."
13 The Rock Wants To MARRY His Crush, Frances McDormand
When Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson confessed he wants to marry his crush, Three Billboards Outside Of Missouri actress Frances McDormand, we couldn't help but think -who doesn't? Although he had very specific reasons why he wanted to walk down the aisle with her, it's mainly how she treated his teenage daughter, 16-year-old Simone, at the Golden Globes.
According to Vanity Fair, he told Ellen Degeneres, "I love Frances as we all do. She goes up to speak, and right before she speaks, she turns around and walks to the back of the stage and shakes Simone's hand out of the blue. It just blew me away, 'cause no one did that."
He added, "So beautiful of her. I've been meaning to call her and tell her but now that I'm here, I gotta tell you, Ellen, I got a little crush on Frances. We're gonna have to exchange numbers because just between you and I - I know nobody else is watching - we're gonna get married. It's not gonna be weird, Lauren (his longterm girlfriend of nine years) is down with it." The Rock just welcomed a baby girl, Tiana Gia, with Lauren last month, so we're guessing his girlfriend will likely decline the open marriage.
12 Andrew Garfield Finally Confessed His "Man Crush" For "Dreamboat" Ryan Gosling
There is nothing like seeing a Hollywood legend confess to a man crush, so we were delighted to hear that The Amazing Spider-Man star, Andrew Garfield, had it bad for Ryan Gosling. On The Tonight Show, he revealed his "man crush" stating, "[Ryan] is just a dreamboat. It's undebatable. He's just stunning. Not only physically, but in terms of talent - a general appeal that he has." He then laughed, "You're making me blush."
This new man crush reveal puts his ex-girlfriend Emma Stone in an awkward position, as she has kissed both of the leading men! When Ellen DeGeneres tried to pressure Stone into confessing which guy was the better kisser, she laughed, "[It's like comparing] apples and oranges. I love all fruit!"
Garfield and Stone haven't been together since late last year, but we're sure of one thing this former couple could agree on: their shared admiration for Ryan Gosling!
Emma has starred aside Ryan in Crazy, Stupid Love, Gangster Squad and La La Land, so together the stars are all quite close. Emma and Andrew had a near awkward run-in at this year's Met Ball, as they both arrived on the Red Carpet at almost the same time.
11 Eva Mendes Would Trade Ryan Gosling For Liam Gallagher
Ryan Gosling might have to watch his back, as his girlfriend of six years - and Baby Mama! - has her eyes on another man. As it turns out, she has a real thing for Oasis frontman and wild rocker, Liam Gallagher. (It's okay - we have no idea why, either!)
She told Metro Online, "Liam is definitely one of the sexiest men alive. I love Oasis, but I also love The Stone Roses and The Smiths. I've always had a strong affinity to Manchester."
According to Glamour, "For me, Manchester is the coolest city I can think of. Having been there a few times, I've got a lot of friends in the city, I absolutely love the place… I was raised on sunshine and beaches. Whenever I go to Manchester it's pouring with rain and the skies are grey. But I can't get enough of it."
Okay, maybe Ryan doesn't have anything to worry about, really, as she made the comments before they even started dating. Eva has stepped away from the spotlight for awhile to take care of their two daughters, Amada and Esmeralda. They could enjoy a nice relaxing break in Manchester, England, as a family if he ever needs reminding which city will always be her favorite.
10 Kate Hudson's Crush, Jeff Bridges, Looks Almost Identical To Her Own Father!
The fact that Kate Hudson has a mega crush on The Big Lebowski star, Jeff Bridges, is made slightly weirder given that he looks nearly identical to her own father, Kurt Russell. On a viral video called Glamour Games, the mother-of-two confessed her love for him and said, "'The Dude' in The Big Lebowski… kind of weirdly looks like he could be my dad's brother." Then after she finally remembered his actual name, she added, "Jeff Bridges. He's so cool."
The How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days actress might need to form a line, however, as Chris Pine, Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Williams, and Lauren Cohan have all confessed their true feelings for the veteran actor, too.
Yet, they might need to calm it down, as his marriage to Susan Geston has lasted a solid 40 years. So, he's good.
It's unusual for Kate to go for an actor anyway, as her type of guy is normally a musician. She was previously married to Christopher Robinson of the Black Crowes, then she was engaged to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy. Now she's in a relationship with Danny Fujikawa, who is the guitarist in the band Chief. She just loves her rock n' roll, I guess!
9 Marilyn Manson Wants Madonna - But She's Really Not Interested
Marilyn Manson has romanced several stars over the years. including burlesque queen Dita Von Teese and Westworld star Evan Rachel Wood. Yet the heavy metal rocker has his sights set on the Queen of Pop herself - Madonna. He told i-D magazine that he was a big fan of latest album "Rebel Hearts" and added, "She looks hotter than ever. I'd also like to let it be known that I still have a crush on Madonna and I would definitely [want to be] with her."
We really aren't surprised that Madonna knocked the Sweet Dreams singer back, as he is not quite her type. She captioned a photo of his interview with the magazine and wrote on Instagram, "Um… thanks!" So - we're guessing that's a straight up no, then?
During an interview on The Graham Norton Show, she confessed, "Unfortunately we are raised on fairy tales and even if we are sophisticated, educated, intellectually evolved human beings we still, in the back of our mind, think that Mr. Right is going to come along and we are going to live happily ever after." Adding, "It's a paradox - you want it, but if you have half a brain you know it doesn't really exist."
8 Watch Out, Meghan! Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wants Prince Harry, Too
At home, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can cuddle up to Hollywood action man, Jason Statham. He's trained in stage combat and completes his own stunts but secretly she's more for the red-haired and royal type. The Victoria's Secret model confessed her love for Prince Harry during an interview on Live! With Regis And Kelly. She laughed, "I'm waiting for my proposal. I keep writing. I think he knows how obsessed I am. Well, he does now. He's so handsome."
Urging the Prince to get in touch, she shouted, "Come on Harry!"
It looks like she's just missed out, as Prince Harry's heart now belongs to Meghan Markle and the couple is due to tie the knot on May 19th. Although Rosie hasn't gotten an invite yet, other famous guests that are expected to make an entrance are The Spice Girls, Elton John, and Meghan's famous best friends, including Jessica Mulroney, Priyanka Chopra, and Misha Nonoo.
Rosie will be keeping busy anyway, as she and Jason welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack, last year. She told Harper's Bazaar, "It sounds so clichéd, but it's just been the most magical experience. Everything feels so special and sweet and wholesome. My focus is now this person; this is what I want to do. This is what I want to pour my heart into now." So, where do Rosie and Harry stand, now?
7 James Corden Wants To Be Hillary Clinton's "Minister Of Romance"
James Corden is well-known for his daring sense of humor he often shows on The Late Late Show with James Corden, but he certainly looked serious when he announced that former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was his biggest crush.
Speaking at the 2014 Glamour Woman of the Year awards, he told the star-studded audience, "There is one woman here who I cannot take my eyes off." Then turning to Hillary Clinton, he said, "You know how on Instagram they have weird-crush Wednesdays? You're my weird crush every day." He then added, "I want to be your ambassador for defense, secretary for offense, I want to be your minister of romance. You're a mum I'd like to follow into the White House."
It doesn't look like he's willing to leave his wife of six years, Julie Carey, anytime soon though, as she has been the driving force behind his career since 2009. They were introduced through mutual friends and when he picked up his Tony Award for his role in Winning a Tony award for his role in One Man, Two Guv'nors, he said, "Seriously, I would not be holding this if it wasn't for her. She made me say 'us' instead of 'I' and 'we' instead of 'me' and I love her."
6 Meryl Streep Crushes On Will Farrell Because He's A "Real Man"
There are probably a lot of shocking things we didn't know about Meryl Streep but finding out her secret crush as Will Ferrell has come out at the very top. During an interview with W magazine, she was asked if she would rather star in a movie with Ryan Gosling or Will Ferrell.
She replied, "The movie that makes me cry is Anchorman. I have the biggest crush on Will Ferrell. I love him in every film he does. I mean, Ryan Gosling could be my child. I'm not going to have a crush on a child. Will Ferrell is a man."
Clearly, it's a sense of humor that she desires more than a Hollywood hunk on her arm.
The Academy Award-winning actress has suffered heartbreak in the past, when she started living with her boyfriend, New York theatre star John Cazale. Known for his role in The Godfather, he became sick and passed away at the age of 42. Autobiographer Michael Schulman told New York Post, "She doesn't talk about it much. But [his passing] was so wildly eventful and dramatic in her life. It was instrumental in shaping who she was as a person and an actor."
5 Carey Mulligan Couldn't Hide Her Secret Crush On Mario Lopez Any Longer
The Great Gatsby star Carey Mulligan spent so much time with Leonardo Di Caprio on set that anyone would believe he was her celeb crush. However, she revealed that it's actually none other than Mario Lopez because she was such a fan of the hit show Saved By The Bell as a young girl.
During a press call for Oscars, she revealed, "He hosts a show, and every time, all the way through awards season, every time we did a red carpet and I saw A.C. Slater I was like a complete disaster. I went bright red… and they make you stand really close to these people, uncomfortably close, and because of the camera angles and I was always within sort of kissing distance. Every one of my dreams has come true this year, including that."
Adorable as that is, she clearly was always meant to be with her husband Marcus Mumford, who is the frontman of rock group Mumford and Sons, because they have the sweetest love story. When Carey and Marcus were kids, they were pen pals and later reconnected as adults, married, and have two children together. Not even the Zack and Kelly love story can beat that!
4 Diane Keaton Wants To Walk Down The Aisle With Channing Tatum
Diane Keaton is a woman who knows what she wants, and that it comes in the shape of Channing Tatum. We're not sure just how many times she's watched Magic Mike XXL but it appears to have had a lasting effect on her. She even called the film "Heaven" on Twitter. During an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, the Something's Gotta Give actress said that although she has never been married, "It's never too late." When Ellen quizzed who she was waiting for, Diane replied, "Channing Tatum."
Well, this is one dream that might be closer to reality, as Channing recently split from his wife of nine years, Jenna Dewan.
In a joint statement, the couple revealed, "We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now."
Diane herself has previously dated Warren Beatty, Al Pacino, and Woody Allen, but she's never made it down the aisle. Maybe she's just been waiting for someone like Channing to come along.
3 Helen Mirren Has A Major Crush On Vin Diesel But He Found Her "Intimidating"
Before they co-starred in The Fate of the Furious, nobody had any idea just how much love Helen Mirren had for Vin Diesel. Many of her fans were left confused why she joined the franchise in the first place but it could just be because she wanted to be around her crush. On Late Night with Seth Meyers, she confessed, "I'm a huge fan of Vin Diesel. It came from me watching him make a speech once at some ceremony. He was just so smart and so funny and so cool, and I just sort of fell a little bit in love with him right there and then."
Then just to confirm her obsession, she added, "Vin, I love you. I love you, Vin. You don't know who I am, but I still love you." Any star would be blown away by this much love, but it turns out the Hollywood action hero was actually "intimidated" by Helen.
At a Golden Globes after-party, he revealed, "She's very intimidating, despite her 5'2" frame. For a tough New Yorker like myself, I was intimidated. And I don't get intimidated easily." In a separate interview with IndieWire, he lightened up a bit and said, "The experience of working with her was so magical, and so validating for me. I remember this being one of my favorite days in my journey. No one else in the room mattered." She's likely having these kind words stitched onto a pillow right now.
2 Pretty Little Liars Star, Lucy Hale, Said Steve Carrell Is Her "Dream Man"
Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale admitted to crushing on older guys but more specifically 55-year-old Steve Carrell.
In an interview with Lucky, Hale said, "I'm single for the first time since I was 16. I like being single" - then out of the blue, she added, "I think Steve Carrell is so [attractive]."
Has she even watched 40 Year Old Virgin? Before the funny man starts to get too excited, she really wasn't single for long and is now in a new relationship.
Following her split from rocker boyfriend Anthony Kalabretta, she moved on with her 40-year-old Life Sentence co-star, Riley Smith - who is 12 years her senior. They were captured enjoying a Valentine's Date together and the rest is showbiz history.
The couple might not be seeing too much of each other at work, as Life Sentence has been canceled. Lucy announced the sad news on Twitter and updated her co-stars, "I was emotionally attached to this story and to everyone involved so I'm a little shell-shocked right now, but I feel fortunate that we got to tell a really beautiful story." Well, at least she managed to get her own love story out of it.
1 Vampire Diaries Star, Kat Graham, Had Her "Secret" About Jeff Goldblum Leaked Online
When Vampire Diaries co-stars Kat Graham and Nina Dobrev were interviewed for Entertainment Weekly, they were both questioned on their celebrity crushes. Nina said she was very much on the lookout for someone like Leonardo DiCaprio, Bradley Cooper, or Ryan Gosling - with all three being her crushes. Then Nina dropped Kat in it and announced her crush as Jurassic Park and Independence Day actor, Jeff Goldblum.
Left feeling slightly embarrassed, Kat joked, "I can't believe she just let the cat out of the bag! It's… is my celebrity crush, and it's not supposed to be public!"
The two later joked about the weird crush on Twitter. Nina joked, "This is my favorite Interview of all time. If I disappear in the next week - you'll know who kidnapped me - Kat. Because I publicly outed her deepest darkest secrets! Whoops!"
Whoops indeed, as surely no star wants a weird crush like that to go public.
Jokes are over now between them, though, as the show aired it's final episode after eight seasons in 2017. Fans were left devastated over the news of the cancellation, but according to rumors, there might be some spin-off shows in the works.
