Fears: Ostriches The "Prince of Persia" star recently revealed the scariest part of shooting his latest movie -- giant birds! Jakey elaborates: “They would say, ‘Don’t make any noise around the ostriches. They’ll tear out your eyes and rip out your heart.’ So, I was naturally terrified. They look like they’re innocent, but they’re really not.” Click through to see the other surprising things that horrify Hollywood types. (REUTERS)![Miley_Cyrus_scared]()
Fears: Country music The star's daddy, Billy Ray Cyrus, achieved fame with his hit single "Achy Breaky Heart," but Miley is not a fan of the genre, even saying she's “scared” of country music! Really, Miley? She tells Parade, "It scares me... It feels contrived on so many levels. Unless you're wearing a cowboy hat and cowboy boots and singing and whining about your girlfriend or boyfriend leaving you it's not going to sell… It makes me nervous, the politics of it all."

Fears: Cartoon villains The actress recently shared an embarrassing fact with Interview Magazine. Natalie says that she's scared of "The Smurfs"! "Because that bad guy, Gargamel, was so terrifying," she explains. "I was scared of a lot of cartoons. I'm kind of wussy like that." Indeed! (REUTERS)![Johnny_Depp_kajsldkap]()
Fears: Clowns Clourophobia is no laughing matter to the movie star. "Something about the painted face, the fake smile," Depp explains of what makes clowns so creepy. "There always seemed to be a darkness lurking just under the surface, a potential for real evil." Sean "Diddy" Combs is also said to suffer from clourophobia, but denies including a "no clown" clause in his performance contracts. (AP)![Nicole_Kidman_kjlkss]()
Fears: Butterflies OK, Nic. We get Johnny's fear of clowns... but butterflies? “It’s so bizarre,” the actress told 'InStyle' magazine of her fear of the fluttery insects. As a little girl, she couldn’t even go in her yard when she got home from school if there was a butterfly sitting on the gate. (REUTERS)![Orlando_Bloom_asdfasf]()
Fears: Pigs According to reports, Orlando is terrified of oinking barnyard animals. The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star is said to have been suffering from swinophobia for many years. (AP)![Megan_Fox_kajsdfkloikjoij]()
Fears: Paper Megan explains that this isn't a true phobia, but says that she just can't stand touching paper, and even has to have a cup of water around to wet her finger before turning a page if she has to read. So... she's probably not joining Oprah's Book Club any time soon. (REUTERS)![Billy_Bob_Thornton_aklsdfjalk]()
Fears: Antiques Due to his rare phobia, Billy Bob refuses to stay in a room with furniture from before 1950. But he’s not alone – more than 250,000 people in the U.S. alone apparently suffer from a fear of antiques. "Maybe it's a past-life thing and I got beat to death with some old chair," Thornton has said to Oprah. "I don't really know. But anyway … I'm totally serious. And I can't eat around antiques."

Fears: House plants The actress says she suffers from botanophobia, and is completely grossed out by house plants. “If I have to touch one, after already being repulsed by the fact that there is a plant indoors, then it just freaks me out,” says Christina. (AP)![Tyra_Banks_dfdasfds]()
Fears: Dolphins The talk show host says she's been scared of the ocean mammals since she was a child. “I have dreams that I am in a pool and there are dolphins bumping me and I’m frightened,” Tyra has said. See Tyra discuss her fear of dolphins here. (AP)![David_Beckham_kasjdopip]()
Fears: Disorder Becks is sometimes described as an ataxophobic — a person who fears disorder. "Everything has to match in the house," Posh told 'People' magazine of her neat freak husband. "If there are three cans of diet Coke he'd throw one away rather than having three because it's uneven." (REUTERS)![Uma_Thurman_kjasdklf]()
Fears: Confined spaces The claustrophobic actress says of filming the scene in 'Kill Bill: Vol. 2' where she gets buried alive in a coffin: "There was no acting required. Real screams available." (AP)![Bobby_Brown_asdsadfasfdafs]()
Fears: Dogs and Heights Brown recently revealed his phobias on 'Celebrity Fit Club' -- and faced them, with the help of trainer Harvey. (AP)![Carmen_Electra_asddasfd]()
Fears: Water Though she once starred in 'Baywatch,' Electra is actually terrified of water. Because she can't swim! The actress once told Sky News that just being near water can give her a panic attack. Other stars who reportedly suffer from aquaphobia include Michelle Pfieffer and Winona Ryder.

Fears: Revolving doors And maybe also personal hygiene, because he says he hasn’t worn deodorant in 20 years. Matthew reportedly gets anxious about even getting near revolving doors and is also said to be scared of tunnels. (AP)![Oprah_kjalsdas]()
Fears: Chewed gum It may not be a phobia per se, but O just hates gum. “My grandmother used to save it [used gum] in little rows in the cabinet,” the daytime diva reportedly once said. “I’d be scared to touch it because it was so gross, so I have a thing about gum." (REUTERS)![Madonna_kjasdkifp]()
Fears: Thunder What does Madge have in common with a dog? An intense fear of thunder. The material mom reportedly gets nervous about loud weather. (REUTERS)Scared Stars: Hollywood's Weirdest Fears
