Hollywood actress Joan Collins is so terrified of falling ill she refused to shake rock legend Ozzy Osbourne’s hand in case she picked up a bug. The former Black Sabbath frontman recently spotted the Dynasty star in an elevator at his apartment building in Los Angeles but when he offered his hand as a friendly gesture, Collins declined to touch him.
And Osbourne is adamant he understands why the actress snubbed him – because picking up germs can be damaging for a celebrity’s career. In his health column, Osbourne writes, “The other day Joan Collins was in the lift of my apartment building in LA. I went to shake her hand and she said, ‘Oh no, Ozzy, I can’t get sick.’
Mind you, I can understand the worry as long as people don’t take it too far and go around blaming each other for their sniffles. I’m a singer, so if I get a cold on the road, shows can get cancelled and livelihoods are at stake.”
