But the footballer replied that no money would force him to step on the plane.
2. Kate Winslet
Star "Titanic" British actress Kate Winslet does not hide her aerophobia. The actress with her husband never fly on the same flight. And all because they are afraid to die together in a plane crash.

1. Sandra Bullock
The famous American actress was afraid to board the plane since 2000. Due to bad weather and poor visibility, the pilot of the plane in which the actress was with her friend had to land. The pilot had to land the plane outside the landing strip; during the landing, he received severe damage. The actress decided to fight phobia in a radical way. She agreed to take part in the film "Gravity", where she had to fly on a special plane outside the acceptable space in order to create short effects of gravity. Subsequently, the filmmakers refused this idea, but Sandra helped to cope with the fear of airplanes.
