Jessica Biel Teases Family’s South Park Costume Plans for Halloween

Why Jessica Biel Didn't Want Son Silas Having a Bigger Matchbox Role

Jessica Biel’s family will be having themselves a time this Halloween.

That’s because they’re goin' down to South Park, Colorado. 

Indeed, the 7th Heaven alum shared how she, Justin Timberlake and their kids Silas, 11, and Phineas, 6, plan to celebrate Halloween this year with an epic family costume inspired by South Park, which is sure to show authoritah.

“I'm definitely dressing up,” Biel shared on the Oct. 25 episode of The Romesh Ranganathan Show podcast. “My family loves Halloween. My kids love Halloween.”

“This year, we're back to a family costume,” she continued, “which is amazing because my 11-year-old for the last few years has been like, ‘You guys are lame. I don't want to dress anything like what you're dressing.’ And this year, he wants to be Cartman from South Park, which is a really cool one.”

While Biel noted that the costume will be “fun” for her and Timberlake, they’re still deciding which South Park character they’ll be. But fortunately, living in Big Sky, Montana, gives them an edge.

“We’ll be somewhere in that [South Park] group,” she shared, “which is great because also we live in the mountains and it's cold, so just basically in snow clothes.”

And since the 44-year-old’s family’s Halloween costumes often have to be a “a little weather dependent” because of cold temperatures, Biel and Timberlake couldn’t be living in a more better place to dress up as the main characters of the long-running animated sitcom.

After all, the main characters of South Park, including Cartman, all notably wear winter clothes, including parkas, gloves and hats.

And though living in the remote mountain town makes it difficult to trick or treat in their neighborhood, Biel and Timberlake’s kids won’t have to say bye, bye, bye to getting some candy.

“We live out in the middle of nowhere. There's not a neighbor close enough to trick or treat out there,” Biel shared. “We go to other little suburban neighborhoods close by.”

While the Candy actress and her husband are embracing holiday traditions just like any other family, their eldest son has already started to follow in their famous footsteps, recently making a cameo in Biel’s new movie Matchbox. 

But that doesn’t mean she’s planning on letting Silas and his brother lean on the family name to give a boost in the industry.

“There are kids who work really hard, and they go to acting class and they're in theater class and they're doing all the work," Biel recalled the words she told Silas during an Oct. 22 appearance on the Josh Smith's Great Chat Show podcast. "You can't just take a part from that person just because you're my son. That's not cool."

“We're not doing that," she added. “This is a special opportunity because it's really teeny tiny. If you had a big monologue, I wouldn't let him do it. You would have to earn that part because we're not starting that.”
