Tiffany Haddish On The Time She Met Beyoncé

Source: TV One / TV One

Tiffany Haddish’s success … is kind of like a sperm’s flight? Leave it to the Girls Trip star to share what could have been an off-putting analogy and make it seem downright charming. The 38-year-old covers the latest issue W, and inside, she gets real about her successes and failures, and how her stint in the foster system and time homeless made her stronger. “In failure, there can be success. By that I mean you can learn what not to do. I find the funny in a lot of failures, because I’ve had enough of them,” the Girls Trip star says. “But I am resilient, my soul is very determined. Ever since I was a little sperm, surrounded by all those other sperm that were stronger than me, had a longer tail than my tail, swam faster than me, I made my way through. I got knocked into other sperm—it was a battle, but I made it to the end.” She also talks about her approach to getting snubbed in the Supporting Actress category at the Oscars this year. “I could have been mad,” Haddish says. “But I would always rather try to be funny in any situation. Even when people are laughing at me in a mean way, I still feel some kind of healing from it. When I get super-depressed, I’ll go on YouTube and look up ‘babies laughing’ just to change my mood.”
