Some celebrities are open books, while others prefer to keep their personal lives under wraps. Tristin Mays, known for her role in the new MacGyver, falls somewhere in between. She’s shared glimpses of her life with the public, but there’s still much to discover. So, let’s dive into 10 lesser-known facts about this rising star.
1. She’s not a night owl.
Tristin isn’t one for late-night partying. When asked whether she preferred 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., she chose the former without hesitation. She mentioned that the only reason to be up at 2 a.m. would be to read unwanted text messages, which she doesn’t do anyway. Plus, her love for dogs over cats suggests she’s more of a daytime person.
2. Tristin has a taste for simple, natural foods.
When asked about her go-to bar order, Tristin said pineapple juice. Coincidentally, her favorite emoji is a pineapple. She’s also searched for tomato soup recipes, and her preferred tea is Chai, which contains a fair amount of milk. And when it comes to pizza, she likes it plain – no toppings.

3. Sam Waterston is one of her guilty pleasures.
Tristin is a fan of the original Law & Order series, particularly because of Sam Waterston’s performance. She enjoys watching reruns of the show, calling it her “TV guilty pleasure.” It seems many of us share this sentiment with Tristin.
4. The 80s is her favorite music era.
Like many Millennials, Tristin adores the upbeat tunes of the 80s. Interestingly, her first CD purchase was a D12 album. We’re curious about what sparked her love for 80s music.
5. Her sense of humor and taste in comedy movies are unique.
Tristin cites Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre as her go-to movies for a good laugh. While we can understand the appeal of Jack Black’s Nacho Libre, Napoleon Dynamite is a more peculiar choice. To each their own, but we’re intrigued.
6. Her first online screen name was Krazyjixx.
Considering what we know about Tristin, Krazyjixx seems like a fitting screen name. However, it’s unclear if she came up with it herself. The name is also somewhat mysterious, as there’s a Jixx Financial Group, a Jixx in World of Warcraft, and the Urban Dictionary traces the word to having Scandinavian origins.
7. She can’t resist a 5-layer dip.
There are countless variations of the 5-layer dip recipe, but most foodies agree that it must include refried beans, sour cream, and shredded cheese. We’re not sure about Tristin’s preferred ingredients for the remaining two layers, but it’s interesting that someone with such simple taste in food would be drawn to this dish.
8. Tristin isn’t one for trends.
Trends tend to drive Tristin crazy, along with “JuJu On That Beat,” bad karaoke, and wet plastic bags. She also dislikes when people repeat the same word too many times, yet admits to overusing the word “conned.” Could this hint at some underlying mistrust?
9. Instagram is her preferred social media platform.
Given her aversion to trends and crowded spaces, it makes sense that Tristin would choose Instagram over Twitter. She hasn’t mentioned Facebook, but with the platform’s recent controversies, she may be laying low for now.
10. Don’t ask Tristin to chill while watching Netflix.
When asked what might happen if someone tried to chill while she was watching Netflix, Tristin said she’d consider tying them up and locking them in a closet. She prefers no distractions during her viewing time, and we assume she asks nicely.
As we learn more about Tristin Mays, we’re left with even more questions. Her relatively simple lifestyle makes her relatable, but there’s still much to uncover. Just remember not to bother her if you see her enjoying a bowl of 5-layer dip while watching Netflix.
