The two have also appeared together in many videos over the years. Reynolds was born on January 17, 2003, according to Wikipedia, and is 23 in 2026.
She is based in the Los Angeles area. Details about her parents, siblings and early family life are limited, and she generally keeps those parts of her personal life private. She and Huelsman have also publicly shared their engagement.
Natalie Reynolds says Mike Myers’ soul is inside the costume
Her unusual claim came before the costume reached her home. She told followers that Mike Myers’ “soul is apparently trapped inside of the costume” and said an unnamed previous owner had warned her not to look into the costume’s eyes. She did not identify that person or provide proof for the claim.
Once the costume arrived, Reynolds displayed it inside a large glass case and called it “one of the most haunted props in movie history.”
In another video filmed at night, she said she could see eyes behind the costume’s empty eye openings. Some commenters said the shapes could instead be part of the support structure inside the head.
Mike Myers is alive as Natalie Reynolds pushes haunted costume claim
There is no evidence that the costume is haunted or that Mike Myers’ soul is connected to it. In fact, Myers was publicly active in June 2026. During an appearance on Trevor Noah’s World Cup Watch Party, he was asked if Austin Powers 4 would happen. Myers answered, “Yes,” confirming the long-awaited sequel is in the works.
The costume was already part of a strange online trend before Reynolds bought it. AI-generated videos showing the Cat in the Hat in neighborhoods spread online, leading police in several places to warn that the images were fake. Reynolds’ posts are now adding another layer to that story.
