Well we all know there’s phobias for everything under the sun; spiders, change, death, heights to name a few. But seriously, a fear of smurfs? Though, to Natalie Portman’s credit,  she does say it was Gargamel that scared the ka-smurfs out of her.

In a recent interview by her Brothers co-star, Jake Gyllenhaal, she laughingly admitted her fear.

“PORTMAN: [laughs] I remember as a kid being really scared of the Smurfs.

GYLLENHAAL: The Smurfs?

PORTMAN: Because that bad guy, Gargamel, was so terrifying. I was scared of a lot of cartoons. I’m kind of wussy like that.

GYLLENHAAL: That’s interesting because you seem so fearless.

PORTMAN: Really?

GYLLENHAAL: Yeah. Looking at all these things that you’ve done and contributed to the world so far, I would have thought that the evil wizard Gargamel would’ve been something you could have very easily stepped over.

PORTMAN: Thank you for saying that, but I’m far from fearless. I’m afraid of everything. But maybe when you’re afraid of everything, it sort of seems like you’re scared of nothing.”

It kind of makes you wonder what other stars are afraid of.

Smurf ya later,
