Way before he was married to Rebecca Romijn, Jerry O’Connell had his sights set on another beauty — Mariah Carey!
Back in 1999, Jerry was cast as the object of Mimi’s affection in her Heartbreaker music video.
For some reason, Jerry thought their on-camera chemistry would translate off-camera, so one day he gathered enough courage to knock on her trailer door.

He retold their encounter on Watch What Happens Live. Ch-ch-check out the clip below (jump to the one minute mark)!
Unfortunately, he and Mariah did not go together like babies and pacifiers.
Her then-boyfriend, Luis Miguel, came with his posse and tossed the would-be Romeo out.
Ironically, just last month, Mariah and the director of the Heartbreaker — Brett Ratner — reportedly had a fling. That’s fifteen years after the music video was shot! Maybe Mariah really is the elusive chanteuse.
