According to him, he was once in a restaurant full of antique furniture, which resulted in him not being able to eat, drink or even draw breath. Last, but not the least, he fears clowns, which is also known as coulrophobia. Just the sight of the clown’s painted face frightens him! This fear of clowns is also shared by Johnny Depp.

3. Natalie Wood

This actress, famous for films such as Miracle on 34th Street and West Side Story, suffered from a fear of water and specifically, being in water. Although it is unknown how this phobia started, it is rumored to have begun when Natalie’s mother tricked her into standing on a bridge for a movie.

The bridge had been rigged for Natalie to fall into the water below. This is said to have taken place when Natalie was young, so the fear stuck with her for life. Ironically, she died from drowning one night after falling off a yacht.
