Barbra Streisand ‘pissed off’ over ‘Meet the Fockers’ pay



A star is scorned.

Barbra Streisand is so “pissed off” about her “Meet the Fockers” and “Little Fockers” paychecks from 2004 and 2010 that she may never return to the comedy movie series, the Oscar winner said in a new interview.

“Oh my God,” Streisand, 83, told Variety. “They’d have to pay me a lot of money because I didn’t get paid what the other people got paid, and so I’m pissed off.”

Sources told Page Six in 2011 that Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro each took home $20 million for “Little Fockers,” Owen Wilson pocketed $15 million, and Dustin Hoffman was paid $7.5 million. Meanwhile, Streisand made just $7 million.

The “A Star Is Born” actress went on: “I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men. The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet.”

In the “Meet the Parents” sequels, Streisand played Rozalin Focker, the eccentric mom of Stiller’s character Greg and the husband of Hoffman’s Bernie. The wacky couple bump heads with retired CIA agent Jack (De Niro) and his wife Dina (Blythe Danner).

Now, a fourth “Fockers” flick is in the works and due out in 2026.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the son of Stiller and Teri Polo’s characters gets engaged to a big-personality woman played by Ariana Grande.

Alongside Stiller, 59, and Polo, 56, also confirmed to reprise their parts are De Niro, 81, Danner, 82, and Wilson, 56.

When informed by Variety that Grande would be joining the “Meet the Fockers” family, Streisand replied, “You’re kidding.”

But, she added of the Oscar nominee, her grandkids are fans. “They love ‘Wicked,’” she said. 

Streisand’s new album is called “The Secret of Life, Volume Two” and includes duets with Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Josh Groban and James Taylor, among others. It comes out June 27.

However, the “Evergreen” singer is uncertain if she’ll even perform live again.

“Oh, God. I doubt it,” she told the trade. “But there’s a little part of me that may consider that. But the other part of me goes, why?”
