From Wikipedia:

Keanuphobia - fear of Keanu Reeves, portrayed in the Dean Koontz book, False Memory, where a woman has an irrational fear of Keanu Reeves and has to see her psychiatrist, Mark Ahriman, each week. He calls her the "Keanuphobe" in his head. She eventually ends up killing her psychiatrist because she believes that he is one of the Machine agents trying to control her.

Edit: I wonder if this is a common ailment among fish.

It would probably be called "neophobia", if "neophobia" didn't already mean something else. I wonder if "keanuphobia" is in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual :P

Isn't 'neophobia' fear of new things?
