What scares you the most?

Many people suffer from various phobias. It does not depend on social status and financial situation. Celebrities also did not pass the sowing bowl. Let's see which of them, what is afraid:


They say that Scriabin had a fear of germs. He was terribly afraid of getting infected, touched the doorknobs through a towel and died of infection! Jack Nicholson only uses soap once and then throws it away. J. Lo demands that her room be cleaned three times a day. Michael Jackson never parted with a microbe-filtering dressing. Hilary Duff does not go to bed until she cleans the room several times. Scarlett Johansson starts cleaning a hotel room long before her maid comes in. Beyonce is terrified of the restrooms and demands to be cleaned several times before she looks in there. This is the most advanced clinical case of Mesophobia coupled with Apopatophobia, fear of going to public toilets.
The famous Hollywood star Barbara Streisand, suffering from social anxiety in the past (fear of public speaking), performing with a concert in Central Park in New York (1967) suddenly forgot the words of some songs. After that, she always refused to perform in public places. She got rid of her phobia only in 1994, thanks to psychologists.

Social ailment Kim Basinger prevented her from being awarded the Oscar. She could not express words of gratitude, although she rehearsed the whole speech several times and was memorized.

Interestingly, some stars have really unusual and even extraordinary fears.

British film actor Orlando Bloom, a fearless screen hero, has a catastrophic fear of pigs. During the filming of the movie "Kingdom of Heaven", he headlong ran away from the pig released from the pen. It looked ridiculous and funny. The famous legendary German movie star Marlene Dietrich suffered from bacteriophobia in panic; she used a bottle of medical alcohol, which she constantly carried with her, to disinfect the toilet seat. American actress Julia Roberts has a similar fear.

The famous Australian actress Nicole Kidman has insectophobia, but she cannot stand only butterflies, while calmly treats other insects. The famous Russian actress Irina Apeksimova has the same phobia. American actor Billy Bob Thornton is terrified of antiques, truly celebrity phobias have no boundaries and can simply make the audience laugh. (link)

They write that Napoleon Bonaparte was afraid of horses, and especially white ones. Some modern celebrities, for example, Kristen Stewart, suffer from a similar phobia. By her own admission, at the age of nine, Kristen fell from her horse and broke her arm, and since then "hates these animals." She had to gather all her courage into a fist and mentally prepare for death in order to star in the film "Snow White and the Huntsman", the heroine of which rides a lot and belligerently. As a child, Nicole Kidman climbed under the gate or climbed over the fence, just not to approach the butterfly that sat on the gate. As an adult, Nicole tried to fight the phobia, but to no avail: “Once I deliberately walked into a butterfly cage at the American Museum of Natural History and even let them sit on me. It didn't work. I jumped with a parachute, cockroaches crawled over me, I did a lot of things, but still, butterflies are too much. " But the American supermodel Tyra Banks managed to defeat her fear of dolphins. Once Tyra was worried even talking about them, but after she swam with dolphins and even kissed one of them, the model admitted that she was unlikely to be afraid of these mammals in the future.

It is also known that David Beckham hates cats, Orlando Bloom is afraid of pigs, and Christina Ricci is afraid of sharks, which is why she even refuses to swim in the pool. Fear of animals and insects is also experienced by many Russian stars: Philip Kirkorov is afraid of cockroaches, Sergei Zverev hates rats and mice, Victoria Bonya hates spiders, and the parodist Alexander Peskov is afraid of snakes. These famous people, along with their fears, even became heroes of the Star Phobias exhibition by photographer Mikel Ceppi, which took place in 2011 in Moscow.

Some stars have a hard time living in the modern world, because they are frightened by various inventions. Courageous and at any age beautiful Sean Connery is terrified of traffic lights. He's scared to imagine what would happen if the green light suddenly went out while Sean was crossing the road. And actor Roger Moore, Connery's heir as 007, has a fear of firearms. Steven Spielberg tries to avoid elevators and, as a last resort, takes a travel companion with him. Keanu Reeves hates talking on the phone - perhaps for fear of losing his voice. Jim Carrey is obsessed with the fear of surveillance cameras that can secretly track him, so in all his hotel rooms the actor demands to remove lampshades from nightlights.

Fear of airplanes is perhaps the most common among celebrities, with Jennifer Aniston, Ben Affleck and Sylvester Stallone suffering from it. However, due to their work, they have to put up with frequent flights. But Adriano Celentano did not cope with his aerophobia. In his entire life, he traveled by plane only a few times, and one of such personal feats for the Italian actor was a flight to the USSR in 1987.

Verminophobia - the fear of germs, bacteria and the possibility of catching some kind of infection - is a very common fear, including among celebrities. Singer Beyoncé, because of her verminophobia, hates toilets and prescribes repeated cleaning of toilets in all raiders. Julia Roberts in restaurants demands that not only the dishes from which the actress will eat, but also the chair on which she will sit should be disinfected specially for her. Steven Seagal does the same, but he does not go to the restaurant with his appliances because of the fear of germs, but because of the fear of being poisoned.

Let's remember those who are no longer with us, and not at all through the fault of microbes. For example, about Michael Jackson, who never parted with a filter mask. Or about Vladimir Mayakovsky: the poet tried to avoid shaking hands, grabbed all the doorknobs with a handkerchief, disinfected clothes, always carried iodine and a soap dish with him, and even took a folding bathroom on trips. His contemporary and colleague in the shop Sergei Yesenin was afraid of syphilis and policemen. The latter, however, can hardly be attributed to microbes.

The fear of getting sick, called nosophobia, affects many famous people. Because of him, the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau avoided talking and books about medicine, and also did not contact doctors. We can say that this fear was justified by the low level of medicine in the 18th century, although many of our contemporaries are also afraid of doctors. For example, Robert De Niro, who starts to panic at the thought of dentists. Angelina Jolie, Woody Allen and Victoria Beckham suffer from a type of nosophobia, namely the fear of contracting cancer. The football player's wife and successful designer, due to carcinophobia, even refused to use self-tanning.

Some celebrities are really unlucky because they suffer from socializing. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this if, as in the case of Lady Gaga, the phobia keeps you from promiscuous sexual intercourse. The shocking singer refrains from sex, as she believes that an unsuitable partner can ruin her energy. It would be better if Mikhail Vrubel experienced this phobia! Because of his fear of the women he liked, the artist was forced to use the services of prostitutes. Dangerous connections brought the genius to the grave: blinded and losing his mind, Vrubel died of syphilis.

Honoré de Balzac also died of love, or rather, because of the fear of succumbing to it. The French writer was terribly afraid of marriage, and when he nevertheless proposed to the passionately beloved Countess Evelina of Hanska, he fell ill with excitement. At the wedding, Balzac was present, sitting paralyzed in an armchair, and very soon after that he left the newlywed a widow. Against the background of such tragedies, the fear of clowns that Johnny Depp experiences seems very harmless. But, probably, the only fear of other people can be worse than fear of one's own image. It is because of him that sex bomb Pamela Anderson hates mirrors and always switches the channel if she sees a film with her participation on TV.

Many stellar fears defy classification or rational explanation at all. But that's what they are phobias! Scientologist Tom Cruise fears the end of the world and alien invasion. John Travolta is afraid to wear washed clothes, so he just throws out slightly worn clothes and buys new ones. David Beckham hates it when food in the refrigerator is uneven and always tries to get rid of an odd item, be it the third can of cola or the fifth apple.

However, the American TV presenter Oprah Winfrey suffers from the most unusual phobia. She is afraid of chewing gum and not only forbids her talk show participants to use it, but she can even throw out the plate on which the guest left the gum out of ignorance. True, such an unusual phobia still has a completely reasonable explanation. When Oprah was little, her grandmother forbade her to climb into the closet for chewing gum, as she was afraid that her granddaughter would fall. The strict prohibition was imprinted on Oprah Winfrey's brain, but not at all in the form of fear of injury, but in the form of chiclephobia - this is what the fear of chewing gum is called.

The fear of spiders does not allow the star of "Harry Potter" Rupert Grint to sleep peacefully: before going to bed, the actor always checks for these insects in the room.

Singer Max Barskikh told us a whole story about his phobia: “I remember very well that warm spring evening in my native Kherson. I think I was about five or six years old. My friends and I walked in the yard in search of another adventure. Well, the adventure was not long in coming. Itself jumped out of the bushes onto the road. It was a large brown toad. Naturally, we all rushed to catch her, but only I was “lucky”: I grab her and she bites me. Toad. Bites your finger! I just threw it away then. And I would have forgotten about the history if after a while a wart had not jumped on the bitten finger. I tortured my parents with the question “what is this?”, And my parents tortured me with attempts to bring her out. Since then, the sight of a jumping greenish-brown amphibian has caused me only one reaction - to move away and not touch. It is interesting that I am quite calm about the images of the toad. The main thing is that she is not real and does not jump! Well, during a trip to Thailand, I tried all the local delicacies - I ate grasshoppers, locusts, scorpions and beetles. But I didn’t dare to try a frog (even a frog!) ”.

Sometimes the experience of childhood leaves behind an indelible mark, which in adulthood turns into a real phobia. Today we invite you to familiarize yourself with the strangest phobias that celebrities suffer.

Pamela Anderson - eisoptrophobia The famous fashion model and actress is simply terrified of mirrors and reflection in them. It is even difficult for Pamela to glance fleetingly into the reflection, passing by the mirror. It's only strange how she can look good without seeing herself at the same time. David Beckham - Ataxiophobia David is often described as a true perfectionist. He has a passion for putting things in their place and giving them sorting by color. According to the footballer himself, he has a special system that can be called ideal, and any mess drives him into panic. Orlando Bloom - porcuphobia (fear of pigs) During the period when the film "Kingdom of Heaven" was being filmed, the world learned about Orlando Bloom's phobia - he is horrified at the sight of ordinary pigs. A pig ran out to the rehearsal area, after which the actor had to be reassured for a long time. The most curious thing is that Orlando does not tolerate pigs even in the form of a steak on the dinner table. Lady Gaga - Small Children and Phone Calls Strangely, the popular singer experiences panic attacks when she sees small children. Lady Gaga herself explains this by the fact that she does not want to become a mother yet: this would put an end to her work. Another performer's phobia is the fear of answering phone calls. Johnny Depp - Coulrophobia (fear of clowns) Coulrophobia is a very common fear. Captain Jack Sparrow - Johnny Depp also has it. Among his interviews, he once said that he always felt as if there was real darkness under the makeup. To combat fear, Depp even hangs portraits of clowns in the house. Stephen King did a lot to spread such a phobia by publishing the novel It. And after the release of the film adaptation, people began to see the clown Pennywise in their nightmares. Scarlett Johansson - Blattophobia (fear of cockroaches) Phobia has been following the actress since childhood. In the period after the divorce of her parents, she at one time lived with her mother, then with her father. And one day, waking up at night in her mother's house, she found a large cockroach on her face. Since then, Scarlett not only disgusts these creatures, but falls into real horror. Nicole Kidman - lepidopterophobia (fear of butterflies) And this Australian woman is terrified of ordinary butterflies. Kidman herself does not deny that these creatures are very beautiful and fragile. But exactly until that moment, until you start to look closely at them: here you have faceted eyes, and a chitinous coating, and pollen on the wings. Jim Carrey - paranoia (fear of surveillance) For a long time, the American comedian Jim Carrey was terribly afraid of the stage and the movie camera. Fortunately for his fans, he was able to overcome this phobia, but the fear of video surveillance remained with him. It even comes to the point that before the arrival of the actor, all the cameras in the lobby are turned off in the hotels, and Jim himself checks the room several times for the presence of video surveillance equipment. Matthew McConaughey - fear of revolving doors It is unclear how the actor copes with trips to shopping malls, as they are difficult to get into if he has a fear of revolving doors. It is also unclear whether McConaughey is afraid to get stuck in a glass "aquarium", or is afraid to be pinned between the door and the wall. Matthew himself claims that it is difficult for him even to look at these doors.

Stars are people too, they are characterized by joys and fears, like all of us (11 photos)

However, at times, many star phobias are surprising. Today I will tell you about the rare fears of the stars

1. Pamela Anderson and mirrors

Pamela Anderson has long suffered from a rare fear - eisoptrophobia. The actress does not hide this fear of hers. In addition to her fear of mirrors, Pamela does not like to watch films with her participation on TV, always changing the channel if they are shown. (Getty Images)


2. Kristen Stewart and the horses

Kristen Stewart has repeatedly said that she hates horses. This fear has haunted the girl since childhood after falling from a horse, which led to a fractured elbow. However, for filming in the new film "Snow White and the Huntsman" Kristen had to overcome her fear. Portraying a warlike princess who is ready to fight for her happiness, the girl tried not to think about her phobia. According to her, the actress resigned herself to the idea that if she is destined to die under the hooves of a horse, then it must be so.

3. Billy Bob Thornton and antique furniture

Phobia Billy Bob Thornton will seem rather strange to many. After all, this man wore a flask filled with the blood of Angelina Jolie around his neck, gave her a piece of land in the cemetery and in every possible way spread about their sexual games. The fame of a tough guy always accompanied him. However, Billy is afraid of antique furniture. Funny, isn't it? In addition to furniture, planes, plastic appliances, and a Komodo dragon are catching up on the actor. And if the fear of the monitor lizard is easily explained by its toxicity, then what is the fault of the furniture. Billy Bob confesses that antique American furniture does not scare him as much as the French from the time of Louis XIV. Moreover, the actor assures that he can easily distinguish a fake.

4. Orlando Bloom and the pigs

The idol of millions of girls around the world, handsome Orlando Bloom, has a very specific phobia. The actor cannot bear the sight of pigs. A fearless hero on the screen, in life, at the sight of a pig, tries to leave. As it was during the filming of the movie "Kingdom of Heaven", when she ran out of the pigs from the pen.

5. Nicole Kidman and the butterflies

Another strange phobia that actress Nicole Kidman suffers from is the fear of butterflies. Nicole has been haunted by this fear since childhood. The actress recalls that if she saw a butterfly on the gate of her house, then she crawled under them or climbed the fence on the other side so as not to face her nightmare. However, we must give credit to Nicole: she tried to fight this fear. At the American Museum of Natural History, she walked into a cage with butterflies, allowing them to sit on her. According to the actress, this method did not work.

6. Christina Ritchie and houseplants

Christina Ritchie's spectrum of fears is quite wide: she is afraid of houseplants, swimming pools and sharks. The actress says that houseplants seem "dirty" to her, they drive her crazy.
