Celebrities and Fears: who has the weirdest?

Here are the stars and their phobias, sometimes so strange and bizarre as to make us smile and think that in the end we are not that different

By

We are used to think about celebrities as a sort of superheroes, with their “problem-free” life and everything already prepared for them.

However, we forget sometimes that no matter how big their mansions are or how perfect their life appears to be, they are still humans, thus they have fears.

It is strange to think that even the most well-known celebs can have common and banal fears, but it is even stranger when these fears are bizarre and one-of-a-kind.

If Instagram’s queen Kim Kardashian is terrified by spiders (do you remember when she freaked out in Mexico on Keep Up with the Kardashians because she thought she had a spider on her shoulder? And when tarantulas took over her sister’s Kourtney’s house?), like most of us common people, me included, it is curious to find out her sisters’ fears.

Here is a list of some celebrities’ weirdest phobias, fears you thought they would never exist or that you would have never associated with whom is terrified by.

Kendall Jenner: trypophobia, the fear of small holes

During an episode of The Late Late Show, Kendall confessed James Corden to be a trypophobic, which means she is scared by clusters of tiny holes saying she feels uncomfortable even talking about it.

Although it may seem ridiculous, Kendall says that there are many people suffering from it, because “who knows what’s inside?”.

Khloe Kardashian: belly button

Yes, Khloe reveals she cannot stand bally buttons, even hers. She is used to wear hand mitts and to scream when she washes her belly button in the shower.

Kylie Jenner: lepidopterphobia, the fear of butterflies

Remember when she revealed she had a baby girl and the whole Instagram thought her daughter’s name to be Butterfly? After the success her ex (is he an ex?) boyfriend Travis Scott, who is also the father of her baby Stormie, made with the song Butterfly Effect, and the matching tattoo the couple got on the ankles, the name was taken for granted.

Little did we know Kylie is actually terrified by all kind of butterfly, as she showed in one episode of Keep Up with the Kardashians.

Britney Spears: reptiles

Talking about animals and pop culture, Britney Spears states to be scared by snakes, and more generally by reptiles.

I wonder how she felt during that iconic I’m A Slave 4 You performance at the 2001 VMAs when she got on the stage with an albino python on the shoulders.

Gigi Hadid: facials

The supermodel defines all treatments where someone touches her face as creepy. But if this is not her beauty routine, what is her secret then?

Joe Jonas: Avril Lavigne

You got it right. It’s Kevin to reveal her little brother Joe was afraid of the punk singer as he used to have nightmares where she came to kill him… maybe because of Avril’s giant poster Kevin hanged on his bed.

Don’t worry, Jonas Brothers toured with Avril and now they ensure it’s all good between them.

Megan Fox: paper

How come is an actress afraid of dry papers? It is Megan herself to tell Jimmy Fallon that she has a very particular phobia, that of dry paper, adding that when she reads newspapers or scripts, she keeps licking her finger sometimes with the help of a cup of water as well.

Liam Payne: spoons

Who is, or was, a directioner could not forget all the memes about this particular fear of Liam. Despite Liam says he is not actually terrified by spoons as he can hold them, he says is does not understand how and why people use them. Besides that, he claims to not eat soups and to drink milk and cereals from two different cups.

Cameron Diaz: doorknobs

Ok, this is just a rumor, but people say Cameron Diaz to be so afraid of doorknobs to ask people to open the doors for her. The reason is that they hold a lot of germs as people touch them, which is something that in today’s situation is not that uncommon anymore.

Brad Pitt, Justin Bieber e Justin Timberlake: selacophobia, the fear of sharks

Maybe it’s Steven Spielberg’s movie Jaws to have terrified the three Hollywood’s stars, but sure is, they think twice before jumping in the ocean.

Johnny Depp: coulrophobia, the fear of clowns

Despite this specific phobia is more common than we think, it is curious that it is such a personality as Johnny Depp’s, who has played creepy roles enhancing their fragilities, to suffer from it.

The actor says that there is something evil behind their faces, and that the fake smile and the red nose makes them so tricky you never know if they are happy or about to kill you.
