I just heard Billy Bob Thornton disclose (in a Fresh Air interview) that he has a phobia involving....antique furniture.
Just thought I would share that.

At least he doesn't run the risk of arrest, and probably won't even get committed to an Institution.
And, by the way, he's OK if they are Oriental antiques.

Didn't he make that part of one of his recent movies? Bandits, maybe?

Haven't seen Bandits but, yeah, he did mention that one of his characters had phobias.

Hmmmm...
Perhaps his mother, when he was young, punished him by forcing him to watch the Antiques Roadshow? |

This was mentioned in Bandits once but never alluded to again. A shame. As my main man Chekov said, "If you show a gun in the first act it must be fired by the third act." If you have a character with a fear of antiques, you must shove him in an antique store. My review , FWIW:

Ummm... I like the look of antique furnature, but yeah, it kind of creeps me out too.
It's when I get into antique stores and there is a ton of it that the hair on my neck stands on end. I am not sure if I believe in ghosts or whatever, but just the thought of a store full of dead people's furnature... well... it creeps me out.
Sorry. I know I am weird. But dead people stuff... when it's not your family... it skeeves me. I could never go estate shopping. Yech! |

I think Billy Bob has surpassed Woody Allen on the Creep-o-Meter with this revelation. |

I heard that interview as well. I still can't decide if it's just an act.
Apparently, the phobia only applies to European antiques. Asian antiques don't affect him at all.
And it has something to do with food. He can't eat near European antique furniture.  | |
