Best Supporting Actress Oscar nominee Octavia Spencer recently spoke with PARADE (out in this Sunday’s issue) about her incredible year, her early days in show business, and more. And in some online exclusive outtakes posted today on Parade.com, Octavia discusses the big ticket gift she is giving herself.
Here are some highlights:
On her post-Oscar surgery splurge gift…
“Well, I am going to get my boobs lifted. That’s going to be my first gift. I’m going to do that. I figured going into my forties I want my boobs where they were when I was 17.”
But she’s definitely waiting until post-Oscars…
“Oh definitely post because right after the Oscars I start a Diablo Cody movie. We’re taping out of the country for four months so I wouldn’t be back here until about August. So I would want to do this around November. Then that way I could just relax until January.”
On her favorite celebrity encounter…
“I can’t say one experience is better than the other one but if I had to, I would say Steven Spielberg. I saw him quite a few times and he was always smiling. And I literally probably looked like a stalker. He and Oprah. They’re right there together. Oprah changed my dream of what I could be and Steven influenced every ounce of my artistry. I think he’s just the best ever. The fact that I got to do a movie for his studio and had conversations with him is like ‘Oh my God.’”
When she first moved to L.A., Keanu Reeves helped her when her car broke down. Has she run into him since?
“No, I haven’t, but I still go to all of his movies on opening weekend.”
