For most people balloons are a sign of a happy occasion, but for legendary TV talk show host and actress, Oprah Winfrey, they are a terrifying thing!
Oprah recently revealed that one of her biggest fears ever is balloons! That’s right, plain old balloons scare the bejeezus out of her! She reveals that the reason she’s so terrified of them is because you never know when one is going to pop and the sudden blast reminds her of a gunfire.
She went to tell an anecdote from her 40th birthday when her staff surprised her by filling the entire set of her show with balloons. “Literally, I’m stepping over balloons, having to walk through balloons and I’m so, like, ‘Oh! When is one going to pop?'” she recalled. “No way around it – [I] just had to walk through them.”
