For the record, Ben Stiller absolutely wanted Barbra Streisand to play the role of Roz Focker, the mother of his character. He finally managed to get the actress out of retirement. As a reminder, the actress had not shot for the big screen since her appearance in the film Seduction lessons in 1997, by choice. “I had opted for a relaxed lifestyle and no longer wanted to be forced to get up at 5 am. But Jay was very persuasive and perfectly adorable. It’s always nice to be told that you are the only possible interpreter of a role. Ben called me from Europe insisting that I play his mother. So I gladly resigned myself to being up at dawn, as before. The rest taught me that it was an excellent decision. Filming was a wonderful adventure“, found Barbra Streisand.
