Phil Jones
Fear: ‘Foreign’ Elevators
A lot of people are scared of elevators but, for Phil Jones, it is different. The Manchester United player is only scared of elevators outside England.
He explained why he has such a strange phobia: “When I was a child I went on holiday to Greece with my parents. There was trouble with the elevator and we were caged onside it for few hours.” That became a trauma for the player.
Wayne Rooney
Fear: Silence
Wayne Rooney, who just a few days ago was involved in another scandal with a girl, also has a notable phobia. The thing Rooney is afraid of is Silence.
He said: “I cannot sleep if everything around me is too calm. So before sleeping, I turn on something such as Vacuum cleaner, hairdryer or an electric fan.”
If it was not for his high salary he would probably struggle to pay his electricity bills.
David Beckham
Fear: Frogs
During a documentary for the BBC, Beckham went to Amazonia. In that program, he revealed he was scared about frogs.
He said: “That’s not a joke, I hate frogs. The one I saw was not green but orange. My friend said to me it was dangerous, so I had a bad feeling about it”
Rumors on the Internet say that Beckham is also scared of birds…
Olivier Giroud
Fear: Alf
That is a really strange phobia but Olivier Giroud is scared about the protagonist of an American Tv show of the ’80s. The series name is “ALF,” who was also the name of the alien protagonist on the show. Pretty sure some of you around 40 years old would know about it.
Here’s what he said about it:
