Jennifer Tilly explains why she prioritized her career over children.
While on the Sherri show, the Beverly Hills “friend of” opened up about not wanting to be a mother.
Jennifer explained she didn’t have a great childhood and worried she would make the same mistakes her mother did.
She also felt she had questionable taste in men, and didn’t want to subject children to that.
“There is such a thing as a biological clock and I always had it for my career,” Jennifer told Sherri Shepherd.
The Chucky star revealed at 37-years-old, she dreamt she was in a room filled with babies. The babies were “grabbing hold of her” and saying they wanted to be born.
“I was slapping them down,” she says through laughs. “Out of my way I’m late for the Oscars!”
“My contribution to the world is Chucky movies.”
In Case You Missed It:
Jennifer was married to Sam Simpson (co-creator of The Simpsons) from 1984 to 1991. She is currently dating professional poker player, Phil Laak. The couple have been together since 2004.
“I don’t dream about having a baby that’s going to be the next president or discovers a cure for an incurable disease.”
“I dream about people coming to visit my grave and leaving little Chucky dolls.”
This discourse is refreshing! So often women are made to feel like having children is our only purpose in life. But, sometimes they aren’t your dream and that’s okay too!
Normalize living YOUR dream and not what society tells you it should be.
