Speaking to the Daily Star, Lawrence revealed that flying phobias come in all shapes and sizes.

He explained: “Some people are claustrophobic, some have a fear of heights, a fear of turbulence, the fear of something happening to the actual plane.

“Some have never flown before and for them it’s the fear of the unknown. There can be many different triggers.”
