Mary J. Blige overcame her fear of chickens while filming 'Mudbound'.
The actress stars as Florence Jackson in the new drama from Dee Rees.
Blige had to pick up a live chicken but she found it difficult after having a childhood phobia.
"There were shots where I just had to stand out in the rain and pick up that chicken over and over again. It was beautiful. Once I picked it up, that phobia was gone. It was like, 'Oh, I'm not afraid of anything now."
