‘Cause if they turn, oof, they’ve gone.’
I said, ‘What do you mean?’
They might charge you.'”

Winslet hasn’t shaken the unease of that conversation.
“This is a thing I never knew,” theEternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mindactress said.
“And I go hiking all the time, and regularly footpaths will take you through fields of cows.
And I have decided that they are going to stampede me to the ground.”
Colbert then asked if her fear of a stampede has ever manifested in any genuine form of danger.
“They were slowly Bo-Peeping it, and then they did speed up.
Borderline, couple of gallopers, I’d say.”
“So I am extremely wary of a field of cows.”
Winslet did admit that it’s not a particularly sensible phobia.
“They’re not!”
Yet somehow, that’s not the strangest quirk in Winslet’s household.
“You know, like, nails down a chalkboard?”
Winslet asked Colbert and the audience.
“My husband has that about a person biting into an apple.
Someone else, or him.
He would never bite into an apple.
If he was here, he would go ‘ah!’
and his hairs would be all up on his arm.
Oh God, he’s going to kill me for telling this story.”
Winslet said her spouse, Edward Abel Smith, can’t even handle a sliced or grated apple.
“He’s like, ‘Ahh!
‘…It’s like you’ve poured hot water over his skull.
He’s in proper pain, and will block his ears and leave the room.”
Watch Winslet discuss her fear of cows with Colbert above.
