Tiffany Haddish reached a breaking pointe in her 20s because of a ballet class.
In fact, the Girls Tripactress 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 Weeklyin 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.”
