Billy Bob Thornton has some weird phobias, too, like fear of antique furniture. He told Sky News, “I get creeped out and I can’t breathe and I can’t eat around it. I’ve had friends tell me that maybe I was beaten to death with an antique chair in a former life.” He’s also afraid of bold colors, water, and silver cutlery. Uma Thurman is scared of confined spaces. About the scene in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 where she is buried alive in a coffin, she told reporters, “There was no acting required. Those were real screams. It was horrific. Nobody wants to live that experience.”

Johnny Depp, who loves to play characters wearing bizarre make-up, is afraid of clowns. “Something about the painted face, the fake smile,” Depp said in 1999 when he was promoting the film Sleepy Hollow. “There always seemed to be a darkness lurking just under the surface, a potential for real evil.”

Sarah Michelle Geller is terrified of graveyards. When filming Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she refused to go into a real one so a fake cemetery was built on set.

Things that scare other movie notables include:

Tobey “Spidey” Maguire: Heights Matthew McConaughey: Revolving Doors Orlando Bloom: Pigs Oprah Winfrey: Chewing Gum Nicole Kidman: Butterflies Keanu Reeves: Darkness Scarlett Johnsson: Cockroaches Justin Timberlake: Spiders Jennifer Love Hewitt: Monsters under the bed Christina Ricci: Gerbils Colin Farrell: Flying Tyra Banks: Dolphins Alfred Hitchcock: Eggs Pamela Anderson: Mirrors Roger “007″ Moore: Guns Barbra Streisand: People Walt Disney: Mice

There’s even a name for what bothers Woody Allen: Panophobia (fear of everything).
