Keegan Michael Key fears Jordan Peele will put him in a spider movie

Funnyman Keegan Michael Key is nervous about making his movie debut in one of his comedy partner Jordan Peele’s horror movies, because he fears it will include spiders.

The Lion King star is terrified of the creepy crawlies and he’s convinced his pal, who has become an in-demand filmmaker thanks to hit movies Us and Get Out, will go out of his way to scare him.

“If Jordan wanted me to do a scary movie, I would 100 per cent do it,” he says. “I haven’t done a scary movie yet, because I’m afraid that he might ask me to do a movie that has spiders in it.

“I’m horribly arachnophobic. I can’t do the spider thing… If I see a cobweb I faint.”
