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.

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.

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

I made a comment on a post on "Weird Al" Yankovic's Facebook page (a clip from "White & Nerdy") of him and Donny Osmond, and Osmond liked the comment and (I assume accidentally) friend-requested me. Ironically, I auditioned for his syndicated game show "Pyramid" in 2005 at the Mall of America, and I immediately took the opportunity to remind him of how he got really pi**** off at me for asking for an Orange Julius when I got onstage. He never answered, and unfriended/blocked me instead.
