    Cliff Notes – Meet the Parents star wants ‘a lot of money’ to return for 00s sequel

    • Barbra Streisand expressed frustration over being underpaid compared to her male co-stars in Meet the Fockers, stating she would require “a lot of money” to reprise her role.
    • The 83-year-old actress highlighted the historical pay disparity for women in Hollywood, recalling a bonus check sent by Universal’s then-head, Ron Meyer.
    • Meet the Parents 4 is set for release on November 25, 2026, featuring the extended family dynamics as Greg and Pam meet their future daughter-in-law.

    Meet the Parents star wants ‘a lot of money’ to return for 00s sequel

    Barbra Streisand has shared her annoyance over not being paid as much as her male co-stars for her role in Meet the Fockers.

    The 83-year-old has commanded a huge career spanning decades thanks to her incredible voice as well as her talents in front of the screen, appearing in A Star Is Born, Funny Girl, Yentil and A Star is Born.

    In 2004, the Tell Him singer shared the screen with Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman and Blythe Danner in the Meet the Parents sequel, appearing as eccentric sex therapist Roz Focker.

    She reprised her role in the 2010 follow-up, but, speaking in a new interview, she declared that she would have to be paid ‘a lot of money’ to return to the fold once more.

    When asked if we could see Roz in the upcoming movie alongside fellow musician Ariana Grande, who recently signed onto the project, the EGOT winner didn’t mince her words.

    ‘Oh my God. 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 p***ed off,’ she told Variety.

    Barbra played Roz Focker opposite Blythe Danner 

    ‘I was in a time when women were getting paid less than men. The head of Universal at the time was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet.’

    Barbra kept tight-lipped over how much she was paid for her scene-stealing stint as Roz, but teased that a string of other acting offers had come her way.

    ‘I get a lot of offers, but they’re funny offers,’ she continued. ‘Well, one was good. It was something that Peter Bogdanovich was going to do, and Guillermo del Toro sent it to me, I think.

    ‘It’s a subject that I actually love, but I’m not going to tell you. I’m not ready to direct again. I think I’ve probably had it.’

    Meet the Parents was first released in October 2000, and followed Ben as Gaylord ‘Greg’ Focker, a nurse meeting his girlfriend’s family for the very first time.

    His attempts to impress Jack and Dina Byrnes, played by Robert and Blythe, respectively, didn’t quite go as planned, leading to lie detectors and lost cats.

    The original was a huge hit and became the seventh highest-grossing film in 2000 after raking in more than $ 330 million at the global box office, sparking two sequels.

    The 2004 follow-up focused on the Byrnes family meeting Greg’s loved ones for the first time, with Dustin and Barbara joining in the chaos as the head of the Focker crew, while the third centred around the couple raising two young sons.

    Meet the Parents 4 is currently slated to be released on November 25, 2026.

    According to reports, it will see the extended family come together when Greg and Pam are introduced to their future daughter-in-law, who ‘seems all wrong’ for their son.
