Nicole Kidman Is Afraid Of . . .
By Wyatt Earp | March 12, 2010
Yeah, you’re never going to believe it. The entertainment section of FOXNews posted this photo array of stars and their phobias. Guess what the ex-Mrs. Tom Cruise is afraid of?
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.
I can actually emphasize with Nicole on this one. Why? It’s simple: because nobody ever suspects the butterfly!

Heh…..she must’ve had a run-in with The Monarch at an early age- that would explain the trauma.
I was in South America a few years ago at one of these national parks adjacent to some rainforest. There were dozens of these butterflies with shimmering saffire and black wings perched on the handrails of one of the walkways…..all quite striking and photogenic and so on.
Then one of the guides explained that particular species of butterfly likes salty liquids and frequents the handrails because of all the sweat!
Aside from my initial reaction of EEEEEWW! I had to ask “What if they develop a taste for human blood?’
My query was answered with a nervous chuckle and furtive glance….not very reassuring.
Ya know, there are times when I see her and, eh, who cares… then I see this picture. Well done Mr. Urban!!
Fenway_Nation – The Monarch. Nice tie in, sir!
Roger – The red hair does it for me, too. Yummay!
In a lass from down under, a country with: 2 steps and your dead snakes, giant crocs lurking in all the waterways, bouncing mammals who will hop over and beat you to death, plauges of rabbits eating everything in sight, giant lizards that still think they are T-Rex, packs of wild dingos waiting to tear up those who stray from the trail, not to mention a likable populace fueled with Fosters Ale crashing into everything in sight and she’s scared of …flutterbys (old english)? LOL
She sure isn’t afraid of Botox or bad scripts.
Or short men.
Jon – Yeah, apparently wildebeasts are okay. Butterflies? Not so much.
Randal – POW!!!
Mrs. Crankipants – Double POW!!!
Being Tom’s ex, I thought she’d be afraid of Xenu.
This is a perfect fear for her. Good grief!
John D – Heh. I loved that South Park episode. “Scientologists actually believe this!”
Nancz – Unbelievable, isn’t it?
Hilarious. Some strange phobias.
USAdmiral – Johnny Depp doesn’t like clowns. He’s like Kramer!
Like the kid in ‘Zombieland’ who at the beginning of the movie talked about his fear of clowns being the least of his worries now that the zombie infection was spreading.
Then at the theme park..voila..Zombie Clown:) LOL
Moths I can see, those damn things will come at you from any direction. But butterflies? Guess getting married to Tom was only one symptom of her many problems.
Jon – Zombie clowns are the worst kind of clowns.
CP – She’s a hot mess. Hot especially.
