Hollywood actress Rebecca Romijn spoofs her “Mystique” character in the X-Men movies with husband and fellow actor Jerry O’Connell in a hilarious clip for Funny or Die.
The “Mystique is Pregnant” parody is described as a classic clip from the sitcom “Mystique and Me” where Jerry gets Mystique pregnant with a non-shape-shifting baby. Needless to say, the sitcom is not real, but the clip is really really funny! You gotta wait out for the ending.
This is not the first time that Rebecca Romijn or Jerry O’Connell have done clips for Funny or Die. Jerry’s parody of a Tom Cruise Scientology interview went viral in early 2008. And Romijn previously did a self-parody of an out of control Supermodel diva and a clip with Jerry about the WGA strike.
