While speaking withVariety'sJust for Varietypodcast to promote her new albumThe Secret of Life: Partners, Volume TwoStreisand, 83, who appeared in 2004'sMeet the Fockersand 2010'sLittle Fockers,claimed she was paid less than her costars. During her Monday, June 23 appearance, the legendary actress and singer seemed surprised when told thatAriana Grande— who sings with Mariah Carey and Streisand on Streisand's new album — will star alongside returning cast membersBen Stiller,Robert De Niro,Blythe DannerandTeri Poloin thefourthMeet the Parentsfilm. When asked whether there is any potential for Streisand to reprise her role as Roz Focker in the series for the untitled fourth film, theEGOTrecipient said, "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 pissed off." "I was in the time when women were getting paid less than the men," Streisand added. "The head of Universal was Ron Meyer at the time, and he actually sent me a bonus check. It was very sweet." Tracy Bennett/Universal/DreamWorks Universal did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. Streisand costarred with Stiller, De Niro and Polo in 2004'sMeet the Fockersas the eccentric mother of Stiller's character Greg Focker. The sequel to 2000'sMeet the Parentsintroduced Streisand's Roz andDustin Hoffmanas her onscreen husband. Worlds collided in the comedy when Greg and his love interest Pam Byrnes (Polo) introduced the Fockers to her more buttoned-up parents (De Niro and Danner). Streisand and Hoffman both reprised those roles in 2010'sLittle Fockers. The "Evergreen" singerpreviously opened up about the alleged pay disparityin her 2023 memoirMy Name Is Barbra. "I didn't ask what the other actors were making, but I was definitely hurt when I found out that Dustin was getting three times as much as me, plus a tiny percentage, which is significant on a movie that made $520 million," she wrote. "I was given some excuse about how I had been the last to sign, but the only thing that made me feel better was when my dear friend Ron Meyer, who was the head of Universal, gave me a bonus . . . the first and only time I ever got one. I guess he, too, thought it was unfair," she continued. PEOPLE confirmed in May that Grande, 31, willjoinMeet the Parents 4's castin her first movie role since last year's musical blockbusterWicked. While Stiller and co. have not yet revealed any details about the movie, Stiller told theTodayshow during a June 9 interview that audiences can expect Grande's character "to be really, really funny and kind of the whole engine of the new movie."

Asked about offers that come her way, Streisand toldVariety, "I get a lot of offers, but they're funny offers. 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." The fourthMeet the Parentsfilm does not yet have a release date. Streisand's new album is out June 27. Read the original article onPeople
