We are all different - someone is ready to sell his soul to the devil for a day spent in the sea or the ocean, and for someone the water causes fear or dislike. Some people are reluctant to master the brace or crawl, even as an adult. We bring to your attention a list with photos of actors and actresses who cannot swim and are afraid of water. These stars do not feel like a fish in water in the truest sense of the word.
Justin Timberlake
- "Friends with Benefits"
- "Social network"
- "Very bad teacher"
It is unlikely that Justin will act as a lifeguard if you drown. The thing is that the performer of the song “Cry me a river” will not go into any river because he cannot swim. Timberlake suffers from aquaphobia and does not hide it from his fans.
Oprah Winfrey
- "A Wrinkle in Time"
- "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lars"
- "Butler"
Oprah is one of the foreign stars who are not shy about admitting that they are imperfect. Winfrey does not know how to swim, and she is not at all embarrassed by this fact - she just does not enjoy this process and is afraid of water. At the age of 55, she even tried to enroll in a swimming course, but was never seen in any pool or pond. The actress says that the only lesson she has learned during the course is: life is a flow, and it is important to go with the flow so that the flow takes you where you need to go.
Carmen Electra
- "Suburb"
- "Companions"
- "Eternal summer"
Some celebrities love to do photo shoots in swimsuits, but they don't know how to swim at all, and Carmen Electra is one of them. However, the actress has a serious reason - she experiences the most real hydrophobia, even being near water bodies. It's not even about going into the water - being near a shallow pool can cause Carmen to have a panic attack.
Sandra Bullock
- "Terribly loud and incredibly close"
- "Invisible side"
- "Lake house"
There are stars who have become afraid to swim after injuries. So, for example, Sandra Bullock, when she was little, fell into a lake and smashed her head on a rock. This developed in the actress a persistent fear of water bodies. However, one day she had to overcome her fear. For the filming of the film "The Proposal" the actress had to spend a lot of time in the water.
Eva Mendes
- "Removal Rules: The Hitch Method"
- "The Place Beyond the Pines"
- "Last Night in New York"
Continuing our list with photos of actors and actresses who cannot swim and are afraid of water, Eva Mendes. Many popular actors own pools, but do not use them themselves. Eva Mendes once bought a mansion with a huge swimming pool, but at the same time she absolutely cannot swim. The Hollywood actress admits that even theoretical immersion in water gives her a deep sense of horror. At the same time, Mendes says: she hopes that in the future she will be able to overcome herself and learn to swim.
Marilyn Monroe
- "Asphalt Jungle"
- "Monkey walks"
- "Niagara"
Many famous actors on duty had to be in the water, but they did not know how to swim. Marilyn Monroe is one of them. The actress was afraid to just be near pools and ponds, but at the same time she still had to go into the water. On the set of the unfinished film "Something Has Got to Happen," she even shouted to director George Cukor: "You know I can't swim!" When her character was supposed to be scripted at the edge of the pool.
Natalie Wood
- "Big races"
- "Sex and an unmarried girl"
- "West Side Story"
There are actors who do not swim well, and there are those who will never go into the water and cannot swim. Actress Natalie Wood could be safely attributed to the second category. Ironically, the actress met her husband on a boat, and her wedding took place on a yacht. The fear of water in this particular case can be considered a kind of foreboding - the actress drowned under unclear circumstances along with her husband. The police still consider Wood's death very strange, given that the actress's body was covered with bruises that were inflicted shortly before her death.
Chloë Grace Moretz
- "If I Stay"
- "500 days of Summer"
- "My name is Earl"
Chloe Grace Moritz can be safely added to the list of actresses who are afraid of water. Close friends of the actress claim that they have never seen her, even at the edge of the pool, let alone open bodies of water. The actress is afraid of water and will most likely never learn to swim.
Christina Ricci
- "Peng American"
- "The Man Who Cried"
- "Malcolm in the Spotlight"
Among Hollywood stars there are those who cannot swim due to various phobias. For example, Christina Ritchie cannot swim due to the fact that she is terrified of sharks. It would seem that her fear should only extend to the sea and ocean depths, where there is a risk of meeting a shark, but no - Christina is afraid that she can be attacked by sharks even in an indoor pool. Scientists call this fear salachophobia.
Will Smith
- "Men in Black"
- "Seven lives"
- "I'm legend"
Will Smith concludes our list with photos of actors and actresses who cannot swim and are afraid of water. The actor has repeatedly tried to learn how to swim and shared his achievements with fans, but Smith is afraid of water. He honestly admits that for him there is no greater fear than lack of bottom - as soon as Smith realizes that he has swum too far, he begins a panic attack.
