A lot of people in the United States love scary movies. Joe Burrow is not one of them.

The Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback revealed Wednesday that he has never liked scary movies, haunted houses and even said he couldn't watch "Harry Potter" growing up. What did Burrow watch? Apparently, he's a "Spongebob kind of guy."

Burrow admitted to his Spongebob infatuation in the past. The former LSU quarterback wore "Spongebob"-themed Vans to the Tigers' championship parade last year and even received a "Spongebob"-inspired sport coat recently, which he wore ahead of the Bengals' matchup against the Tennessee Titans last weekend.

We also can't forget about the time Burrow wore Spongebob socks to the Heisman Trophy ceremony before being presented with the iconic award.
