Tiffany Haddish Makes Shocking Confession About How She Tricked Casting Directors
Actress Tiffany Haddish is a savage! The comedian made a big confession during a table talk with fellow actresses including Regina Hall and Jane Fonda. And casting directors are certainly not going to like what she has to say.
In footage of The Hollywood Reporter's Comedy Actress Roundtable that was released on Wednesday, Haddish admitted that she would learn what directors really thought of her auditions by "mistakenly" leaving her purse with a rolling tape recorder inside the room when she left.
"You know what I'd do? I'd put my phone on voice memo and put it in my bag, I'd do the audition, walk out the room, leave my bag. Then I'd come back and be like, 'Oh, I forgot my purse,'" she told the other actresses, who appeared shocked at the idea.
Haddish said she would hear comments such as, "'She is not as urban as I thought she'd be.' Or, 'She is so ghetto, I just can't.' 'Her boobs aren't big enough.' 'I really think we should just go with a white girl, this role should be changed to white.'"
Haddish added, "I mean, some days they hurt my feelings, sometimes I'm like, '[expletive], what a [expletive]. I'm never going back in there'... but I did."
And in the long run, despite possibly hearing harsh comments she didn't want to, she said the tape recorder trick helped her perfect her craft. She even incorporated some of the comments the directors made into her stand-up comedy.
