Octavia Spencer made a hilarious appearance on the talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” where she discussed her obsession with murder mysteries, her unique Halloween celebration, and even participated in a TikTok challenge. The Oscar-winning actress is known for her roles in detective series and has two new docuseries, “Lost Women of Highway 20” and “Feds,” premiering on Investigation Discovery.
During the interview, Octavia Spencer mentioned how she loves to solve murder mysteries while watching true crime television shows and listening to podcasts. She admitted to watching hundreds of episodes and enjoys the thrill of solving crimes and bringing them to a resolution. However, she clarified that she doesn’t love murder itself, just the satisfaction of catching the bad guys.
Octavia Spencer‘s love for mystery doesn’t stop at watching crime shows. She revealed that she often tries to solve a mystery before winding down for the day. While some might find it strange, Octavia finds it a fun way to relax. She did mention that her awareness has heightened since watching these shows, but she believes she is at the right level of awareness.
When it comes to Halloween, Octavia shared her unique approach to candy-giving. Not knowing what to expect, she waited until 4:00 PM to buy candy she didn’t like, such as Sweet Tarts and peppermints, to avoid any leftover temptation. Surprisingly, she only had three trick-or-treaters visit her house, but she did indulge in a little bit of chocolate herself.
As the conversation shifted to costumes, Octavia admitted that she doesn’t particularly enjoy dressing up. She once tried to dress up as Michelle Obama by wearing a White House baseball cap but was mistaken for a burglar by her friends. She realized that a hat alone doesn’t make a costume, and now she prefers to be comfortable rather than donning elaborate costumes.
During the show, Octavia Spencer also discussed her collaboration with Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple. As they both graduated from Auburn University, she got the opportunity to work with him on a video. Despite her detective skills, she acknowledged that tech people like Tim Cook don’t give away secrets easily.
To add to the fun, Jimmy Kimmel challenged Octavia to a TikTok challenge. Although a little rusty, Octavia gave it her best shot and called out various emotions as the TikTok song played in the background. The challenge was a hit, showcasing Octavia Spencer‘s humor and willingness to participate in the latest trends.
Octavia Spencer‘s appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” was entertaining from start to finish. Her love for solving mysteries, unique Halloween celebrations, and willingness to join in on the latest viral challenges made for an engaging interview. Fans can look forward to her upcoming docuseries, “Lost Women of Highway 20” and “Feds,” which will premiere on Investigation Discovery.
