you never know what’ll scare the pants
off a person even if it’s something
bizarre ready just grab it don’t think
about it try not to think about it huh
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
weird celebrity phobias for this list
and across the wide spectrum of
celebrities we found in ranked the
oddest and most irrational of fears held
by popular figures ranging from actors
and actresses to musicians and even
television personalities
however we are excluding more common and
seemingly rational phobias like Howie
Mandel’s fear of germs I wouldn’t touch
this because a lot of people have
touched that this is actually my
nightmare
number 10 reptiles Britney Spears
for someone so willing to perform with a
Python around her shoulders Brittany’s
not so brave around other reptilian
species the longtime pop star has
discussed her reflexive fear of lizards
and reptiles in the past claiming that
she can’t even think about a Komodo
dragon without freaking out we’ve heard
of being unsettled by animals but not
even being able to think about them
that’s a bit extreme
number nine butterflies
nicole kidman so tiny and yet so
menacing it’s possible famed actress
Nicole Kidman thinks this way as she has
an established case of Lepidoptera
phobia or in layperson terms a fear of
butterflies
god forbid butterfly comes into my sight
I’ll run screaming and look totally
unprofessional
I could even lose my job Kidman
struggles with these winget Devils
supposedly began in her youth where she
would go to elaborate means to avoid a
large butterfly that might happen to be
sitting on her front gate despite
spending time with butterflies at the
American Museum of Natural History
Nicole remains unsettled by them I know
what you want they want to frighten us
you want to get us out me and my
children you’d wanted to take over this
house ever since the first day you
arrived number 8 cemeteries sarah
michelle gellar well this is nice it’s a
little bare but – paint a few throw
pillows call it home
irony knows no bounds it seems as the
titular star of the series Buffy the
Vampire Slayer Sarah Michelle Gellar had
battled more than a few undead
characters in her time which makes it
amusing that her greatest fear is being
in a cemetery specifically she fears
being buried alive in a grave burying
you you’re waking on neighbors something
which came to pass against her wishes
while filming an episode of Buffy while
we understand her misgivings the fact
remains that her phobia stands in
humorous opposition to the persona she
typically displays now on I am only
going to hang out with living I mean
lively people number seven swimming
pools and houseplants christina ricci MS
Ricci has found herself in more than a
few odd roles but it’s her fears that
might be more notable for one thing
christina has an issue with swimming
pools
she believes that should she swim in a
pool a shark will be released and will
try to attack her
the actress has also gone on record
stating her disdain for houseplants
finding them dirty and therefore
repulsive there are just some things
that can’t be made up I really like the
snow tobacco
really you’re a very controversial creep
number six pigs Orlando Bloom
I just possum ate be quiet like most
people suffering from a phobia this
hunky leading man panics when the object
of his fear gets anywhere near him and
what is it that sets him off pigs you
know cute little curly-tailed piggies
like babe my mom called us all the same
and what was that dear she called us all
P sounds like a pretty serious phobia
too because apparently he ran away
screaming when one got loose on the set
of his film Kingdom of Heaven hopefully
his agent doesn’t try to set him up for
a live-action Animal Farm remake e to
the day when pigs older average bombs
everywhere
number five antique furniture Billy Bob
Thornton yeah I have a have a phobia
about antiques certain kinds anything
before not anything before nineteen
fifty or so I’m not big on speaking of
odd things try to wrap your head around
this Billy Bob Thornton has quite the
reputation he’s won 27 assorted awards
and has been nominated for 67 in total
these days you get in a lot of trouble
no matter what you say you know what I
mean you can say anything in the world
and get in trouble I know this for a
fact so I’m just going to say thank you
he makes at least one film per year and
he’s pursued a musical career on the
side
oh and he isn’t fond of old furniture
apparently Thornton has a particular
issue with furniture made before 1950
he’s unable to even be in the same room
as such antique items some people say
maybe that maybe it’s a past life thing
and I got beat to death with some old
chair though he does seem to have made
his peace with the fear just understand
that it’s a fear and not let that fear
cause you to behave in certain ways
number four mirrors Pamela Anderson hey
handsome want some company
you a cop hmm see a badge there’s not
wanting to seem self-absorbed and then
there’s this Canadian American actress
Pamela Anderson known for starring on
the show Baywatch and in the film barbed
wire as something of a limitation she’s
uncomfortable around mirrors perhaps
something about her appearance pushes
her buttons I’m ready now
which would explain why she also avoids
watching herself on TV when you’re
leaving rooms and having people shut TVs
off to avoid your own image
you know it’s an honest-to-goodness
phobia
number three revolving doors and tunnels
Matthew McConaughey
oh yes Holmes you don’t hear this or no
this is a combination we couldn’t have
predicted
mr. McConaughey an award-winning actor
on television and in film as a pair of
grievances that appear rooted in a
desire not to get trapped in tight
spaces this can be a very scary thing I
know you’re probably feeling overwhelmed
right now but what we would like to do
is to impress upon you the gravity of
your situation he’s not exactly fond of
revolving doors but he takes greater
issue with driving through tunnels
Matthew has commented about a 10-foot
blind spot that occurs when people enter
a tunnel finding it personally
unsettling and potentially a hazard
number two dark water Natalie Wood
coming up Natalie woods worst fear is
realized is there a line we need to draw
with this one the late Natalie Wood
found great success as a film actress
but there was a lingering negative
thought hanging over her head a fear of
dark water for years
Natalie dreaded going into water even
being uncomfortable in her own swimming
pool it’s dangerous it didn’t help that
Natalie’s mother was sent to a predicted
Natalie would die in such water a
prophecy that was unfortunately proven
true officials determined that she had
fallen into the water while trying to
retie the dinghy to the yacht the
actresses shocking death ignited a
frenzy of morbid speculation and gossip
in the media before we unveil our number
one pick here are some honorable
mentions
you can’t see a sea urchins right there
and then you step on one and then it has
Barb’s and it goes into whatever it
touches and then you have to go to the
emergency room and it has to be
surgically removed so we get the hell
out of this crazy City forget it we move
to sunny LA all of show businesses out
there max why cannot you keep bringing
it up but I don’t want to live in a city
where the only cultural advantage is
that you can make a right turn on a red
light number one chewing gum and
balloons Oprah Winfrey being an icon and
an inspiration it would make sense that
Oprah Winfrey has perhaps the oddest of
phobias first and foremost
she suffers from chick Lefou BIA the
fear of chewing gum no yes I’m not
kidding
I love the kidding yes and I’m gonna
tweet it out as a child
Oprah was so disgusted by her
grandmother saving gum in a cabinet that
she instituted a no gum policy at her
workplace Oprah is also less than
comfortable with balloons finding that
the popping sound is too much like
gunshots for her liking so the only
thing keeping me from getting what I
want is the story I keep telling myself
about why it can’t happen exactly do you
agree with our list that’s how you know
you’re famous

eye anyway no I still have the fear but
