Jennifer Tilly shared insights into her private life, explaining that she’s never felt a strong urge to have children of her own.
On Thursday’s episode of The Sherri Show, the actress from the Chucky movie series disclosed the motivations behind her decision not to have children, a topic she had previously touched upon in an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
she expressed to Sherri Shepherd during her talk show appearance that she had no desire whatsoever to have children, further explaining her choice in the process.
Tilly, aged 66, shared her thoughts, saying, ‘My childhood wasn’t fantastic, it had its challenges, and I fear I might repeat some of my mother’s mistakes. I found myself recognizing potential pitfalls in my own actions.’ Moreover, she admitted, ‘I’ve made poor choices when it comes to men in the past, and I don’t want to subject my kids to that experience.’
She talked more about the times when she was preoccupied with her biological clock in relation to her acting profession, resulting in peculiar dreams involving imaginary offspring.
There exists something called the biological clock, and I’ve always felt its influence in my professional life. For instance, thoughts like, “I’m not gaining recognition quickly enough,” might have crossed my mind. However, this biological clock becomes more noticeable around the age of 37 for me.
She went on to explain, ‘I kept imagining myself sprinting through these dimly lit spaces filled with infants clinging to me. They were saying, “Mommy, mommy, we want to be born!” Instead of helping them, I was pushing them away and exclaiming, “Make way! I’m running late for the Oscars.”‘
Once the audience and the host had finished laughing, Tilly playfully revealed her plans to make a lasting impact on the world.
She shared that her impact on the world comes from creating the Chucky movie, which she considers to be a significant contribution,” (or)
“She stated that her mark in the world is through making the Chucky movie, and she believes this to be an important accomplishment.
Instead of fantasizing about giving birth to a future president or finding a cure for an incurable illness, I daydream about visitors leaving me miniature Chucky dolls at my grave.
Starting from 1983, the actress who earned an Academy Award nomination and is known for her role as Tiffany Valentine in the Chucky universe, made her debut on television with guest spots on shows Oh Madeline and Boone. These appearances paved the way for a recurring character role on the popular series Hill Street Blues, which she joined the next year.
Her initial appearance in a movie was in the 1984 comedy-drama titled No Small Affair, which featured notable actors like Jon Cryer, Demi Moore, Tim Robbins, and Tate Donovan.
