'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' star Leslie Grossman on Coco's unique powers: "I love it"

Leslie Grossman's Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt has a unique superpower - she can detect if your meal really is gluten-free.

While the rest of the coven can manipulate fire, read minds and make potential deals with the underworld, Leslie Grossman's Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt has a unique superpower - she can detect if your meal really is gluten-free. She can also just hold your meal, roll her eyes for a second and tell just how many calories it has. Her favorite flavor, you ask? Strong she says. In a recent interview with Vulture, the 'American Horror Story: Apocalypse' actor revealed that she was very happy about her powers, even if some of you judgemental ones (looking at you Madison Montgomery) thought she was the "weakest link".

"It was Ryan [Murphy] calling me up and laughing hysterically and saying, 'You have the best superpower. And this is what it is,'" she said talking about how she got to know about the being the gluten witch. "I just love Ryan’s sense of humor. He and I are incredibly simpatico in what we think is hilarious. He called to tell me and I fell out. I was like, Amazing. I love it. It’s so funny."
