Barbra Streisand still gives a “fock” about her “Meet the Fockers” salary. The EGOT winner, who appears in “Meet the Parents” franchise installments “Meet the Fockers” (2004) and “Little Fockers” (2010), told Variety that she was “pissed off” by the salary discrepancies across the ensemble cast.

Streisand played Ben Stiller’s onscreen mother Roz, with Dustin Hoffman as her husband. The duo were the in-law foils to Robert De Niro and Blythe Danner, the parents of Stiller’s wife (Teri Polo). A fourth “Meet the Parents” film was announced earlier this year, with Stiller, De Niro, Danner, Polo, and Owen Wilson (who starred as Polo’s ex) reprising their roles. However, don’t bet on Streisand’s return.

“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,” the icon said while promoting her album, “The Secret of Life: Partners, Volume Two.”

She added, “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.”

Yet Streisand is still working parallel to the “Meet the Parents” universe: The singer collaborates with “Meet the Parents 4” actress Ariana Grande for the song “One Heart, One Voice” off the new album. Streisand said that Grande has one of the “hottest, biggest, most wonderful voices” in the industry. Grande is set for an undisclosed role in the fourth “Meet the Parents” film, which will be released November 25, 2026. John Hamburg, the co-writer of the first three “Meet the Parents” films, writes and directs the fourth.

As for her other possible acting roles, Streisand stayed mum. “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,” she said. “I always wanted to end my career, my movie career doing ‘Gypsy.’ That would’ve been the book end to my ‘Funny Girl’ play. I couldn’t get that done. Time goes so fast.”

Streisand is currently in production on a multi-part documentary about her life, with Frank Marshall directing and Alex Gibney producing. Streisand herself, though, isn’t looking to direct anytime soon. “I’m not ready to direct again,” the “Yentl” filmmaker said. “I think I’ve probably had it.”
