Tyson Beckford, the Kings Court star, made headlines as he put his best foot forward. Following a lighthearted and unguarded performance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that aired on 20 July 2025, he confessed to having a foot fetish by praising fellow guest Octavia Spencer's feet on air.
The revelation occurred when host Andy Cohen presented a number of dating dealbreaker scenarios during Watch What Happens Live's iconic "Dwheel Breakers" segment. One question was whether Beckford would date someone who had a foot fetish. To which Beckford answered with a laugh:
“Oh, hell yeah. Yeah! I got a foot fetish.”
Beckford continued by talking to the 55-year-old Oscar winner Octavia Spencer, who was sitting next to him, and went for peep-toe shoes. He admitted to having already checked out her shoes.
“I already checked out your shoes! I did! I did! I was like, ‘Ooh!’ That’s a good shade.”
Andy Cohen then proceeded to ask Beckford about Octavia. He asked:
“Do you like Octavia’s feet?”
To which the model responded jokingly:
“I do. She’s got nice feet. Can I touch them?”
Playing it casual, but obviously amused, Spencer said:
“Don’t look at my feet.”
Nevertheless, she finally gave in to a playful toe-touch before slapping his hand away. Beckford then gave his fingers a playful smell, which made everyone in the room chuckle.
Cohen even joked about the conversation, saying:
“You’re gonna be glad you came tonight, Octavia.”
Spencer, blushingly replied:
“I’m getting hot!”
She then added:
“The door is always open.”
Later on during the episode, Beckford also acknowledged that he texted Rihanna, but he maintained that it wasn't romantic. He said:
"It was not like I'm trying to hook up with her, just you know, 'My sister, I'm proud of you. Another Caribbean woman.'"
Tyson Beckford's not the only one
Tyson Beckford isn't the first actor to reveal his preferences. Actor Armie Hammer and actress Angelina Jolie have also been open about their s*x life.
Tyson Beckford joins a number of other celebrities who have acknowledged their foot fetish due to his candor about it. In 2013, model Miranda Kerr disclosed that her ex-husband, actor Orlando Bloom, who is famous for his roles in the franchises Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lord of the Rings, shared a similar interest. In the interview with Gloss, she said:
“I’m really a freak about my nails. Orlando and I share a nail thing — he has a bit of a foot fetish. I like OPI’s Koala Bear-y on my nails. It’s not organic, but sometimes I just do it.”
Tyson Beckford is searching for love in Kings Court

Beckford acknowledges that finding love hasn't been simple, despite his good looks and fame. He said on the premiere episode of the show:
