Inde Navarrette Reflects on Eerie Coincidences Surrounding Her 'Obsession' Role

Inde Navarrette is marveling at the strange synchronicities that preceded her involvement with the breakout indie horror film Obsession.
In a conversation with USA Today, the actress discussed how multiple elements seemed to align in ways that felt almost predestined. "There's so many things that were kind of…coinciding," she explained about joining the Curry Barker-directed project.
Among the curious overlaps: her existing tattoos happen to appear on the One Wish Willow box featured in the film, despite the fact that she had the tattoos before coming aboard the production. "They did the One Wish Willow box before they met me," she pointed out.
The numerical connections proved equally striking. Navarrette revealed that 27 holds significance as her lucky number—she was staying in room 327 when she booked her role on Superman & Lois. Remarkably, Obsession pulled in a global total of $27 million during its opening weekend.
"There was just so many different things that me and the film…it just felt so right," she said. "It's a little freaky, isn't it? Freaky Nikki!" she added with a laugh, referencing the undesired moniker her character bears in the film.
Navarrette also reflected on how fate may have played a role in her casting. She had auditioned for several other projects prior to Obsession, but none felt right. "There was a couple jobs that I had gone out for before Obsession that just hit me in the gut, and then I got Obsession. But had I gotten those other jobs…I wouldn't have been able to do Obsession."
The film continues to defy box office expectations and establish records in its theatrical run.
