Sometimes celebrities are just like everyone else; complete with bizarre fears that seem almost ironic given their public personas. Take Tom Holland, for example. The actor best known as Spider-Man actually suffers from arachnophobia, the fear of spiders. Quite the paradox!
Megan Fox has a peculiar phobia too: she’s terrified of dry paper. This must make reading scripts and memorizing lines a challenge, though in her movies, she mostly just stares intensely into the camera looking stunning.
Cameron Diaz has a fear of doorknobs, driven by her anxiety about catching viral infections. She avoids touching door handles, public toilets, and even shaking hands whenever possible.
Matthew McConaughey might seem cool and confident on screen, but he’s afraid of revolving doors. An unusual phobia for sure!
Pamela Anderson, despite her frequent mirror appearances, is terrified of her own reflection, whether in mirrors or on screen.
Orlando Bloom, famous for action-packed roles, is surprisingly scared of little piglets. On the set of Kingdom of Heaven, a piglet escaped, and Bloom ran away from the scene!
Supermodel Tyra Banks has a fear of dolphins, which is ironic since many people pay big money to swim with these animals.
Animal-related fears don’t stop there. Nicole Kidman is afraid of butterflies, Kristen Stewart can’t stand horses, and Scarlett Johansson fears cockroaches. Like Tom Holland, Kim Kardashian and Justin Timberlake both avoid spiders, while Britney Spears is scared of snakes and reptiles. David Beckham dislikes birds, and Jake Gyllenhaal is afraid of ostriches.
Keanu Reeves, often portraying tough characters, has a philosophical fear of the dark. Meanwhile, Robert De Niro shares a common fear of dental procedures, worried about the transmission of diseases through dental equipment.
Woody Allen’s list of fears is extensive, including elevators, insects, bright colors, heights, sunshine, children, and dogs. Plus, he suffers from arachibutyrophobia, the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth.
Perhaps the strangest phobia we found belongs to Billy Bob Thornton, who fears antique furniture.
So, if you ever feel odd about your fears, remember these celebrities who are just as human as you and just as scared of the weirdest things!
