Speaking of phobias:

Salma Hayek speaking of her role in From Dusk til Dawn: “Quentin told me, ‘Oh, by the way, you’re dancing with a snake.’ I said, ‘I can’t do that, I can’t do that. It’s my greatest fear,’” Hayek recalled. To prod the actress, Tarantino claimed that Madonna was interested in the role, and that she would have no problem being wrapped in a python.

“He said, well, Madonna will do it, I already talked to her, and she's willing to dance with the snake.”

Hayek eventually agreed to it.

“It was good because I had to overcome my greatest fear. I had to go on trance to do the dance… And there was no choreography. It was improvised. Because you can’t choreograph a snake, we don’t know what she’s going to do!”

I was deathly afraid of wasps until about 22. Was cleaning out trout hatchery ponds and my pal's Dad who owned the hatchery was there. I saw a wasp next to us in the building where they reared the super young ones. I froze. Dad saw me and chuckled. Reached over and crushed the wasp between two fingers. End of phobia.

From all of us fellows, thank goodness.
