Ben Platt is not a fan of being sky-high.
The actor shared how he wants to move past his fear of planes during an interview to discuss his new movie, The People We Hate at the Wedding.
“I really need help with my fear of flying,” Ben exclusively told E! News’ Francesca Amiker. “I fly all the time. I just went on tour, so I flew like 25 times and I just really hate it every time.”
The 29-year-old has developed some strategies for coping. As he explained, “I have ways of medicating literally and figuratively, so I can get through it. But I would love some help being better at it. I’ve heard that getting hypnotized is really helpful, so I’m open to that.”
Coincidentally, Ben’s latest film—which drops on Prime Video Nov. 18—features his character Paul flying across the world to attend a wedding alongside his sister Alice (Kristen Bell) and their mom (Allison Janney) as they navigate reconnecting with their estranged half-sister Eloise (Cynthia Addai-Robinson).
However, this isn’t the first time the Dear Evan Hansen alum has confessed his fear of being among the clouds, as he shared the experience of the worst flight he’s ever been on during a 2019 episode of the I Hate Talking About Myself podcast.
