Those almost hard-to-comprehend numbers of followers that we see near the names of celebrities' social media accounts can make it seem as if there's no way they could ever notice us. Luckily (or not), it's not as impossible as it sometimes appears to be. As it turns out, some folks out there manage to not only grab the attention of someone famous but even get the pleasure of being blocked by them.

Recently, Reddit user u/hugocaldera6 hit up the platform with a pretty interesting question that quickly received a lot of attention: "Which celebrity has blocked you on social media and why?" they asked fellow users. As of now, the thread has over 7,000 answers from Redditors sharing their best stories about getting blocked by celebrities and famous brand accounts on social media. Without further ado, Bored Panda invites you to look at some of the best ones.

These 30 People Got Blocked By Celebrities And Brands On Social Media, Reveal The Reasons In This Online Thread I was blocked by Donald Trump on Twitter because I called him an orange fake-tanned bastard that doesn't know how to run a country. This led on to me screenshotting the activity and jokingly reporting it to Boris Johnson. The Prime Minister replied that "he isn't supportive of my behaviour", then he blocked me. 2 blocks from world leaders in the space of 3 days.

Tangerine turd never read that comment. His staff filtered critical tweets out because they didn't want to have to deal with a senile butthurt narcissist going berserk.

He blocked me too. I can’t really post what I wrote (as BP is a more well mannered site than most) but it wasn’t that complimentary.

Well done you. Being blocked by a semi-animated Cheeto and his brethren is a badge of honour.

This is childish online bullying and it makes you no better than Trump doing the same thing to people he doesn't know.

obviously it wasnt the presidents who blocked this dude. Dont know wtf was he expecting lol, you call someone names and they should say oh thank you I appreciate your comment? Or does he really think they care at all , lol. Anyways, total asshole to offend someone in public. if you dont have anything good to say, shut the f**k up. In UK you go straight to jail for calling names on social media.

As an American, you’re completely incorrect. tRump’s policies didn’t just affect America, and he deserves all the ridicule he’s getting.

These 30 People Got Blocked By Celebrities And Brands On Social Media, Reveal The Reasons In This Online Thread A famous astronomer blocked me because I blocked him.

I was following him but his posts were overwhelming my feed. Retweets were off too. I unfollowed but days later, my feed was still all his posts. So I blocked him to stop it.

A few years later, thought I’d try again since Twitter’s made changes and he has me blocked.

Alrighty then, Phil. Be that way

Based solely on his professional persona, I do like the guy. Seems pretty fair and level headed. I don't want to find out what it's like to be even mildly famous and have to deal with crazy people - I imagine I might be quick to block people too.
