  • Tiffany Haddish rejects Brad Pitt because he has too many kids
  • Jennifer Aniston has always wanted to have kids
  • Tiffany Haddish shared how she could have been fired after walking away from the set

Tiffany Haddish is not interested in dating Brad Pitt because he has too many kids.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the “Like a Boss” actress recalled her first meeting with Pitt in an elevator at the Oscars in 2018. She recounted how the “Ad Astra” actor told her that if they were both single in a year’s time, they were going to get together.

Haddish met Pitt in a party exactly a year later after their first encounter. She said that Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston’s ex-husband looked “scared.”

“You could tell he was scared of me. He was like, ‘Oh, [explicit], Tiffany Haddish is here,’ and doing his eyes shifty,” Haddish said while laughing. “I was like, ‘Ain’t nobody f—king with you. You’ve got too many kids.’ Men got to work for it, you know? They like the hunt. Can’t make it too easy.”

Pitt has no kids with his first wife, Aniston. However, the “Murder Mystery” actress has always been open to having kids contrary to reports claiming that he dumped her because she didn’t want to have a baby. In fact, at 51, Aniston is still seeing herself being surrounded with children.

After Aniston, Pitt married Jolie. The “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood” actor and “Maleficent” star share six children together: Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 13, and twins Vivienne and Knox, 11

In the same interview, Haddish shared that she considers Meryl Streep her role model because “she smells like success.” She gushed at how Streep introduced her to Steven Spielberg and how their encounter turned out. The film producer was very delighted with her because she bowed and was very lively. She joked and told him that she could do it on set, too.

She also shared the challenges she encountered in professional settings when she felt uncomfortable with her role where she was meant to yell. She declined to be the “angry black woman.” So she walked away. Recalling the incident, Haddish thanked her co-star Salma Hayek for helping her out at the time.

“She was telling me how to go about it. It was the best learning experience,” Haddish said. “I could’ve been fired that day.”

Fortunately for Haddish, the filmmakers ended up making changes to address her concerns.
