*Actress Keesha Sharp says she nearly lost out on a major role due to her fear of flying.
“When I was afraid of flying, I would not accept jobs that made me have to fly,” the “Power” and “Lethal Weapon” star told Page Six. “If I could not take a train or drive I will not accept the job.”
Sharp’s flying phobia began in college, according to Page Six.
“It was paralyzing. If I did fly, which is really rare. I would walk on the plane and cry the whole time because I was walking to my death,” she shared.

Sharp ultimately put her faith in God after receiving “one of the biggest gigs of my life.”
“I had to fly all over the world for that gig and I wouldn’t have been able to do it… I just let go and let God,” Sharp explained.
Sharp starred in the Fox series “Lethal Weapon” from 2016 to 2019. She told Page Six… “I did not test for it. I didn’t do a chemistry read for it. I just got this gig… Three days later I was shooting.”
She continued, “Then I had that moment where I heard clearly heard this voice that said, ‘You don’t live by your faith, yet you are so good at telling other people advice, but you don’t live it.’”
Sharp currently stars in Hallmark Mahogany’s “Spring Breakthrough.”
