Look, celebrities are people, but they don’t live lives like you or me. They have servants at their beck and call, and their day-to-day activities are totally alien to the average Joe. Even their phobias are bizarre. While normal people like you or me might be scared of regular stuff like spiders or social interaction, celebrities are scared of the oddest, most specific things.
From revolving doors to “cups full of dust”, these superstars have very peculiar nightmares. Their phobias range from making their lives difficult to being so specific that they must never even come up. Check out this list of celebs who are absolutely petrified by the weirdest things.
1
Rita Ora
The singer-songwriter seems confident but has a very specific fear. She is afraid of “something coming out of the toilet.” I have to agree that that would be very unpleasant. She told a British tabloid, “I have this thing where I think this tunnel must start from somewhere and sometimes I think, 'What if something comes out of the toilet?' "That's been one of my fears. I always make sure I put the light on when I go.”

Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner revealed a bizarre phobia on Ellen. I’ll let her speak for herself: “The strangest thing I'm afraid of is, like, dust in a cup. I don't know why. It's like one of my pet peeves is when there's a lot of dust in a cup and it's getting in my system.” How are you running into dust in a cup often enough that it can even be a phobia?

Steve Irwin
The late Steve Irwin could wrestle crocodiles and other dangerous animals without even batting an eye. But one animal gave him pause, and it was parrots. “The only animals I’m not comfortable with are parrots, but I’m learning as I go,” the Crocodile Hunter said, “They’ve nearly torn my nose off.”

Tyra Banks
Tyra Banks is another celeb with an animal phobia. Hers I can honestly get on board with: the model is afraid of dolphins. Sure, they look cute in cartoons, but in real life those things are freaky looking. “I have dreams that I am in a pool and there are dolphins bumping me and I’m frightened,” Tyra said during an episode of her TV show.

Christina Ricci
Christina Ricci is an actress who’s made her fortune on being in creepy and offbeat movies. So it stands to reason that what creeps HER out must be out of the ordinary, and it definitely is: houseplants. She says she hates touching them, but even just seeing them is enough to set her off.

Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman is afraid of a certain type of bug, but it’s not spiders or centipedes or anything that would make sense. No, she is terrified of butterflies. She said “I jump out of planes, I could be covered in cockroaches, I do all sorts of things, but I just don’t like the feel of butterflies’ bodies.”
