8. Whoopi Goldberg – Fear of Flying
Whoopi Goldberg‘s fear of flying has been well documented if you were paying attention, but you probably weren’t. That’s ok. We were. The fear of flying, called aviophobia, was always something that the comic just accepted and never challenged until a theater performance of Sister Act was being put on in the UK and she was invited to attend. Well, Goldberg was determined to accept the invite, leading her to do some voodoo therapy in an effort to get over her crippling fear.
It worked temporarily. She took the flight, the show was horrible (probably), but she still has the fear today. Want to know where it came from? The actress says that she was sitting on her balcony 30 years ago in San Diego when she witnessed two airplanes collide mid air. Yep, that would do it.
