Twitter Explodes Over Ryan Gosling's Baby News: Five Other Celebrity Crushes You Have No Chance With

  • 10 July 2014

Hey girl, did you know that Ryan Gosling is about to be a dad? Neither did anyone else until this week, but when he and girlfriend Eva Mendes broke the news, the internet exploded with highly inappropriate amounts of “grief.” Well, it was mostly just Twitter. Well, mostly just overdramatic Gosling and Notebook fans. But in honor of these poor lovestruck souls (you can read some choice tweets below) we’ve compiled a list of five other people you are never going to date – no matter how much you’d like to.

Gosling and Mendes got together in 2011, so he's technically been off the market for some time now.

Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie. When asked to choose between this power couple, most people would be fine with either. Jolie is intelligent, charitable, worldly and stunning. Brad Pitt, even after his hey-day is… how do we put this delicately… hot, not to mention a creative and business-savvy force to be reckoned with. Fortunately for them, they seem to have found a good thing – lasting marriage, a whole litter of children and thriving careers to boot. Unfortunately for us, this means that both are off the market for good. The same largely applies to Beyonce and Jay Z, by the way.

Cara Delevingne. This applies to any Victoria’s Secret model out there (sorry to burst your bubble, guys) but we’re focusing on Cara, because her social media presence makes her seem so relatable, just like one of us. Well, she’s not. Last year, the Brit’s net worth was estimated at $1 million and with contracts with the likes of Chanel, Burberry, Victoria’s Secret and Fendi among others, she’s likely to double that in no time. So while she can pull a mean duck face and reportedly enjoys playing Call of Duty, you aren’t likely to spark a social network romance with Cara Delevingne.

Tom Hiddleston. Mr Hiddleston has enjoyed a meteoric rise since 2011, which may be why he seems so charming, down to earth, slightly awkward and just so dreamy, right? He was also voted ELLE’s man of the year for 2014, so clearly there are a lot of ladies and gents out there, who’d really like a shot at the Hiddles. Like a lot. The man has millions of fangirls, fanboys an variations thereupon across the globe and is continuously on the road for various acting engagements. Just this year he starred in the National Theatre’s production of Coriolanus in London, then filmed Crimson Peak in Canada, had a cameo in Muppets: Most Wanted, which filmed in LA and is now working on the thriller High-Rise in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Point being, the man is very busy, very famous and very, very private.

Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift makes a huge effort to show us all that she’s just one of the girls and for that, we love her. She’s also down with the ideas of feminism, which is pretty cool of her. Judging by her instagram and twitter, she’s also a massive dork, which tends to make you forget that Tay Tay had one of the most successful albums of last year, Red, followed by a worldwide tour and that now, everybody wants a piece of Taylor. Kudos to her for handling it all so gracefully, for still giving advice to young women on twitter and for inundating us with pictures of her cat, just like any other 24-year-old. Point still stands though – if you think your crush on Taylor Swift is unique, think again. However long her string of past lovers may be (none of our business, by the way), commoners are not invited.
