"Hidden Figures" star Octavio Spencer has revealed that she was a huge fan of King of Pop Michael Jackson and even used to send him fan mails.
The 46-year-old actress had a lot of fun writing letters to various celebrities when she was younger.
The star said she once received a poster in response to a note she'd sent to her late music icon Jackson, reported Femalefirst.
"When I was a kid I would write to lots of people. I remember I wrote to Michael Jackson. I think I got back one of the posters that was on my wall," Spencer said.
Despite her own fame, Spencer still gets star struck by the celebrities.
"I'm still star struck all the time. I met Steven Spielberg, who I've idolised since I was a 13-year-old kid. And Oprah Winfrey.
"I think when I stop being star struck it's time to get out of this business," she said.
