Hollywood actress Kate Winslet has confessed she’s terrified of cows because she worries they will “turn” and she will get trampled to death in a stampede.
The ‘Titanic’ star, 49, believes they are the world’s “scariest animal” and confessed her fears during an appearance on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’ revealing she had a conversation with someone familiar with the animals who warned her she could get trampled in a stampede.
Kate Winslet Calls Cows the World’s Scariest Animal
“Someone said to me: ‘Oh you’ve got to learn how to read a field of cows, you have, you’ve got to be careful because if they turn, oof they’ve gone.’
“I said: ‘What do you mean?’ [The person replied] ‘Well if their tails are swishin’ and they’re flickin’ like that and there’s flies, it means they’re unhappy.
“They might charge you.’ And I was like: ‘Oh my God!’ …
“I have decided that they are going to stampede me to the ground … “

She said: “There was a time when my mother was alive, and she and I were on a walk, and some cows absolutely were catching up with us …
“They were slowly Bo-Peeping it and then they did speed up, really, truly. Borderline [a] couple of gallopers, I’d say.
“However, there are quite a lot of stories in England about people having very nasty run-ins with cows. Very real ones. So I am extremely wary of a field of cows.”
Kate went on to insist she wants to “get better at coping” with her fear, telling Colbert: “They’re not really scary, are they? No, they’re not”.
However, she added it’s right to be wary of cows, calling it a “legit fear”.
