Howie mandel germaphobe....


When did he become a germaphobe. I can't imagine he could've done this movie the way he is now with being so afraid of germs that he won't even touch other people let alone sit through having all that makeup put on everyday for the part. What happened to him to make him so weird now?

You're aware that he has to have makeup put on NOW when he's on America's Got Talent, right? He can function. He's always been like that. From an interview in 2011 re his Mysophobia:
"I don’t remember a time when I didn’t feel there was an issue. But I wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. I’ve always felt a little bit different, and I always knew I wasn’t as comfortable with life as everybody else seemed to be. But I didn’t know what I could do about it. When I was a kid, I didn’t know anybody who went to a psychiatrist. There was always a stigma attached to mental health issues. I think there still is. But now I’m taking care of myself."
