Tiffany Haddish reached a breaking pointe in her 20s because of a ballet class.
In fact, the Girls Trip actress still remembers a movie role she tried out for nearly two decades ago, which required her to take dance lessons that didn’t end well.
“I auditioned for a ballet-style dance film and I did not get hired,” Tiffany told Us Weekly in an interview published Oct. 30. “But I also got kicked out of ballet class.”
But why did Tiffany—who was 27 at the time—have to sashay away?
“For cussing,” she continued. “That s--t hurts!”
After being dismissed from the class, Tiffany made sure to live up to her signature wit by showing up to watch the class.
“[I’d] go to ballet,” she explained. “[I’d] go to the recital just to smite the teacher.”
Despite the pain, though, the 44-year-old shared that she still finds joy in the art of dance.
“I do it at home alone all the time,” Tiffany said. “I’m not good at it. I take barre classes. That’s my jam!”
But beyond helpful poses, her grandmother passed down both a love fashion and knowledge on how to fend for herself.
“We didn’t have a whole lot of money, ’cause models back then weren’t making a whole lot of money,” Tiffany explained. “She taught me a lot about fashion and how to make clothes. I love making clothes and things like that. So, fashion is a part of who I am, and it’s how you express yourself.”
