9. Matt Damon – Fear of Snakes
Not to be outdone by his co-star Scarlett Johansson, Matt Damon also showcased his fear of snakes on the set of We Bought a Zoo. Johansson explains that Damon would “cry like a baby and rock back and forth when the snakes were spread all over the set.” Yet, even after crying, Damon eventually took hold of the snake and proved to the cast and crew that he was a man.
He made sure to let others know that he wasn’t thrilled about it though: “I got bullied into interacting with them by Scarlett and the kids.” When asked why he was so scared, he said, “The size of the thing was so awesome and humbling. Something like that could just kill you by accident. They’re just so huge and strong.” Come to think about it, that’s a pretty good reason to fear them. Oh, and they call this phobia ophidiophobia.
