Daniel Radcliffe

Despite starring in horror movies such as 'Horns', 'The Woman in Black', and 'Victor Frankenstein', it's hard to believe that he is scared of clowns.

Coulrophobia is the fear of clowns and mimes, a phobia that, although it mainly affects children, can be present in adults. 

Although the phobia may sound funny, after watching 'It', it's not so hard to see why some don't feel very safe in front of white faces with big red smiles.
