What frightens certain celebrities? Find out now!
Ellen Page: Tennis Balls!
Page really did one say: “I have a phobia of tennis balls… I’ve always had it. Tennis comes on and I have to get out of the room.”
Megan Fox: Paper!
Megan Fox is a bit neurotic about reading the magazines in which she poses: “I’m not afraid of touching paper but I just can’t stand it. Scripts, newspaper or anything that’s not laminated, I can’t touch it with my hands! I have to constantly lick my fingers before I turn every page or on my really crazy days, like if I’m sitting down to read a script, I’ll have a little cup of water and I’ll dip my fingers in it before I turn every page.”
Matthew McConaughy: Revolving Doors!
The Oscar winner is on record: “I get anxious just being near them,” he says of these unusual buidling items.
Pamela Anderson: Mirrors!
Yes, someone who is down with having sex on camera is not cool with looking at herself. “I have this phobia: I don’t like mirrors,” she once said. She doesn’t like watching herself on TV, either. Ironic, we know.
Nicole Kidman: Butterflies!
Nicole Kidman knows it’s unusual, but: “I’m not afraid of snakes or spiders. I’m scared of butterflies.” And Scientologists, maybe?
Oprah Winfrey: Gum!
“My grandmother used to save [used gum] in little rows in the cabinet. I’d be scared to touch it because it was so gross,” the talk show host says. “One guest in my home sat at the dinner table, took out some gum from her mouth and put it on her plate – after she left, I threw the plate out.” There goes that Juicy Fruit deal!
Tyra Banks: Dolphins!
Tyra Bank has feared dolphins since she was “8 or 9,” explaining: “I have dreams that I am in a pool and there are dolphins bumping me and I’m frightened.”
