Our hearts go out to Sean "Diddy [1]" Combs after he was hilariously petrified on The Ellen DeGeneres Show [2] on Thursday. Ellen casually brought up that she heard Diddy was scared of clowns — a claim that he vehemently denied, saying, "I'm not afraid of clowns." But no sooner than he countered the rumor, a terrifying clown busted out from a table sitting between Diddy and Ellen. The rapper and producer let out a scream and immediately jumped from his chair before showing off a few karate moves and dancing away the terror. "You know, I woke up this morning, and I said I want my life to be full of surprises," he said after sitting back down. "Ellen, I thank you!" Watch his hysterical reaction to the prank above, and see more photos of Diddy's appearance on the show ahead. Then check out some of the other times Ellen nearly gave her guests heart attacks [3].
