Jamie Lee Curtis is ready to join the cautionary tale about one of Disney's spookiest rides, as she is set to star in Haunted Mansion as Madame Leota. Surrounded by many other peculiar characters, Madame Leota will stand out from the cast of the upcoming movie for a reason you might not expect. During a recent interview with Collider's Perri Nemiroff, the actress spoke about how her character was actually a big fan of the Real Housewives.
"I think she’s watching Real Housewives of all of the cities. You know, Beverly Hills, New York, Atlanta. I think she’s binging. I think she’s a bit of a binger. I mean, I’m fine on my own for a minute, but she’s in there for a hundred years. I think reality TV is her jam." Madame Leota lives inside a crystal ball, and her condition is not even the worst one when it comes to the fate that the characters living inside the titular house have suffered. In Justin Simien's upcoming adventure for the whole family, Gabbie is looking for a new life for herself and her children, and when she finds a very cheap house in the middle of nowhere, she thinks she has found an ideal opportunity for growth.
It's not hard to imagine why Leota loves to watch the reality series where a group of well-positioned women get to know each other, taking into account how she's had an entire century without anything to do inside the crystal ball she finds herself trapped in. But the character will need to take a break from watching Real Housewives when Gabbie and her family move into the mansion.
