Jerry O'Connell Details His Mystique Collection That Embarasses His Wife

As a gamer and a die-hard fan of both Star Trek and X-Men franchises, I must say that the intertwining lives of Jerry O’Connell and Rebecca Romijn have added an exciting layer to these universes for me. It’s fascinating to witness their real-life bond reflected in various projects they work on together, from animated superhero films to sci-fi comedies like Lower Decks.


Jerry O’Connell, an actor from Star Trek: Lower Decks, reveals that during Comic Con events, he enjoys hunting for collectibles showcasing his wife, Rebecca Romijn, as Mystique in the X-Men series. Romijn, who played Mystique in the initial three X-Men films from 2000 to 2006 and later tied the knot with O’Connell in 2007, has been a part of various projects alongside him, including The Death of Superman and Reign of the Supermen as Superman and Lois Lane, Satanic Panic, Lower Decks, and more. It seems that Romijn is slightly embarrassed by all her husband’s miniature figurines depicting her.

Despite their best efforts, the issue isn’t fully resolved. This affectionate duo, known for their charming public appearances, appear to have come to terms with her former life as a supervillain. As evidence of this, O’Connell was spotted recently at a convention dressed up as her morphing criminal persona.

In the X-Men series, my spouse portrayed Mystique, and at conventions, I seek out rare, distinct Mystique action figures and statues. We accumulate these items, and I display them. This is what O’Connell shared with ComicBook.

He mentioned, “I displayed it, it belongs to me, and my wife feels a bit awkward about it, but it’s my unique collection I call the ‘Mystique Shelf.'”

In a recent interview, Romijn openly discussed some challenging times while working with director Brett Ratner during the production of X-Men: The Last Stand. Since then, he has faced numerous accusations of misconduct and his profile in Hollywood has significantly diminished. Despite these issues, it appears that Romijn’s overall experience within the X-Men series was generally favorable, as she expressed a willingness to reprise her role in 2014.

What is Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 5 about?

As a die-hard fan, I’m thrilled about the upcoming season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” on Paramount+. In this new chapter, our beloved crew of the U.S.S. Cerritos is assigned to fix ‘space potholes’ – these subspace rifts are causing quite a stir in the Alpha Quadrant. Normally, handling these potholes wouldn’t be much of a challenge for Mariner, Boimler, Tendi, and Rutherford. But they’ve also got an Orion war on their hands, angry Klingons to contend with, diplomatic blunders, mysterious murders, and the scariest part – grappling with their own career ambitions. This season seems to be a grand celebration of this resilient underdog crew who are teetering on the brink of being promoted out of the lower decks and into uncharted Starfleet territories!

The animated series titled “Star Trek: Lower Decks” focuses on a team of less prominent staff working aboard the U.S.S. Cerritos, one of Starfleet’s lesser-known vessels. The ensemble cast for “Star Trek: Lower Decks ” comprises Tawny Newsome, Jack Quaid, No?l Wells, and Eugene Cordero as the junior officers, while Dawnn Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Fred Tatasciore, and Gillian Vigman portray members of the bridge crew on the U.S.S. Cerritos.

In a collaboration between CBS Eye Animation Productions, Secret Hideout, and Roddenberry Entertainment, the animated television series “Star Trek: Lower Decks” has been produced. The executive producers of this show are Alex Kurtzman, Mike McMahan, Aaron Baiers, Rod Roddenberry, and Trevor Roth. Titmouse serves as the animation studio responsible for bringing this production to life.

In the United States and Latin America, you can watch “Star Trek: Lower Decks” exclusively on Paramount+. The fifth season of “Star Trek: Lower Decks” will make its premiere on Paramount+ on Thursday, October 24th, with the first two episodes of the final season airing simultaneously.
