10 Things You Didn't Know About Maika Monroe

1. Her Biggest Fear Is...Knives?

Naturally one of the most common questions the It Follows star has been asked is her greatest fear. Funnily enough, she's given a relatively eccentric answer, citing knives as giving her the heebie-jeebies. She said, "I have a weird thing with knives. I don€™t like knives very much. Like when my parents are cooking in the kitchen and using knives to chop vegetables, I can€™t be in the same room. For whatever reason, knives just terrify me. I guess I get it, right? That€™s kind of normal...maybe?" Normal to be scared of being stabbed, sure? Scared of knives when your (presumably loving) parents are handling them? Not quite so much. But hey, what's an up-and-coming Hollywood talent without a little weirdness and neurosis, right? At least with those Independence Day bucks she can probably afford a live-in chef and never need to touch a knife again... What do you predict for Maika in the future? Got any other little-known facts about the fast-rising actress? Shout them out in the comments!
