Celebrities Fears

While many of us actually prefer an escalator to trudging up the stairs (we’re lazy, yeah we know it), it seems Nicki Minaj isn’t a fan of big shiny moving steps. 

Apparently Madonna has a fear of thunder – a condition called brontophobia – no wonder she’s always travelling about avoiding England.

Matthew McConaughey struggles with going into tunnels! Could this explain why he’s always topless on a huge spacious beach most of  the time?

Orlando Bloom will never be seen on a farm because of his fear of pigs (swinophobia).

According to Christina Ricci, she gets ‘freaked out’ by house plants, a condition known as botanophobia.

And finally there’s lovely Johnny Depp, who says he’s afraid of clowns (clourophobia). He says, "There's something about the painted face and the fake smile. There seems to be a darkness lurking under the surface, a potential for real evil." This from the man who has played a loony pirate, Willy Wonka and other freakazoid characters.
