Anxiety about flying can be cured with pilot courses or cognitive behavioral therapy, but some people just can't feel safe on board. This is becoming a major concern for celebrities who have to travel a lot for work, and some top stars are struggling with their aviaphobia.

Let's discover the stories of celebrities who are afraid of flying and the means by which they tried to cure their fear of flying.

Jennifer Aniston

Her fear developed after an unpleasant experience, and the actress was afraid for years to get on the plane.

Her fear developed after an unpleasant experience, and the actress was afraid to get on the plane for years, but still she was able to overcome her anxiety.

“The take-off scared me the most, because I don't understand how the plane can take off. I've heard about aerodynamics, speed, engine. Of course, when something rises, it rises. Maybe I'm just a control freak,”she told China Daily.

Megan Fox

Many celebrities who are afraid of flying have found original ways to deal with stress. Megan Fox turned to music to help prevent panic attacks. “I know for sure that I can’t die listening to Britney Spears' album, so I always turn on her music in my headphones during the flight and I know for sure that the plane will not crash while Britney is playing,” she told Perez Hilton.

Sandra Bullock

Filming "Gravity" was an ordeal for Sandra, who survived a plane crash in 2000.

Filming "Gravity" was an ordeal for Sandra, who survived a plane crash in 2000. “I'm just numb from flying. Drifting in the sky was not at all consistent with my idea of collaborating with Alfonso Cuarón (in the film). But I sat down and said: if this film tells me to lift my ass and do something to overcome my fear, then it must be done,”she explained to Vogue.

Jennifer Connelly

Despite the many treatments for aviophobia, many celebrities who suffer from it try to get rid of their fears on their own. Jennifer Connelly told Contact Music: “I'm a terrible passenger on the plane. I’m not superstitious, I’m more realistic about everything, but not about flying. I'm just numb. This can be called a phobia."

Colin Farrell

The actor's fear of flying has led to scandals more than once.

The actor's fear of flying has led to scandals more than once. “I hate this. This is completely unnatural for me. I have taken several pills at one time. I try not to do this because I got into trouble on board. I'm just lucky some (stories) haven't been leaked to the press. The staff literally had to handcuff me during one of the British Airways flights,”he admitted to Contact Music.

Kirsten Dunst

Another celebrity with a fear of flying, Kirsten Dunst dislikes engine noise the most. “I am always afraid in flight. When going to fly, I take headphones with me, which help to drown out the noise of the aircraft. I wear them all the time, from takeoff to landing,”she told Med India.

Whoopi Goldberg

Whoopi Goldberg is afraid of planes after witnessing the crash.

Sometimes the fear of flying arises after traumatic events, and Whoopi Goldberg is afraid of the planes after witnessing the crash. However, over time, the actress coped with the fear. “Some people are made to fly. I don't know if this applies to me, but I fly,”she told Pierce Morgan.

Aretha Franklin

The legend of the musical world has not taken off the ground for 33 years. “The last time I flew was in 82nd. It was a very bad flight. Airplane with two engines. We were shaking all the time. I said, "Oh God, when I get to Detroit, I've had enough." And I haven't flown since then,”she told Time magazine.

Sean Bean

Some stars who are afraid of flying inherited their phobia from their parents, and the Game of Thrones actor still has this problem. “I used to go to film sets in Europe, but when it came to filming Lord of the Rings in New Zealand, I couldn't do it. I couldn't get into the helicopter with the rest of the cast. They waited for me to climb the mountain and join them to start filming."
