When Jacques walked into the tank with his furry-legged friend Lady Trinity, visible terror registered all over Romeo Kumalo's face. His eyes bulged and the corner of his mouth turned downwards. There's no doubt about it, our shark has a dog phobia. He's not the only famous face whose blood pressure rises at the sight of an animal.

Kristen Stewart - Fear of Horses

The Twilight star has Equinaphobia, which is the fear of horses. Stewart says she "hates them". Her phobia began when she fell off a horse and broke her elbow at nine years old. 

Walt Disney - Fear of Mice

The irony of Walt Disney having a phobia of mice is almost too much to bear, considering he's the creator of Mickey Mouse!

Woody Allen - Fear of Everything

Woody Allen counts dogs, insects, sunshine, children, small rooms, and cancer among his phobias. Perhaps Woody Allen should just stay home, because that's a lot of things for one person to be terrified of. 

Michael Jackson - Fear of Dogs

Romeo is in good company - the King of Pop also shared his cynophobia, the fear of dogs. 

Brad Pitt - Fear of Sharks

We've saved the best for last. Brad Pitt has Selacophobia - the fear of sharks. Well, he'd better not step into the Shark Tank, then!
