The Amercian actor and professional football player, John David Washington, has acrophobia, an extreme fear of height.

The BlacKkKlansman actor began by saying, "I've got to do it, and I think I have the courage to do it now."

At the time, he revealed his fear and said, "I had a huge phobia of heights, but since I filmed Tenet, I've gotten more comfortable with it."

Moreover, Washington reflected upon his action-thrill movie, Tenet, helped him to get over his acrophobia and told the publication, “I've also been in the season these last four-plus years of just conquering my fears.”

“When I'm filming, I don't have as much fear of trying stuff because I believe in the art. But in my real life, I guess I'm way too sensitive and precious. 

"So I'm trying to apply some of the fearlessness I have attacking a role to everyday life," he added.

Before concluding, The Piano Lesson actor shared his one habit that he wanted to change and he elaborated, "Denial. Communication can be way better, I can be reckless at times in the pursuit of what I'm trying to do - but at 40, I need to learn how to balance it better."
