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.

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.
