Tiffany Haddish was kicked out of ballet class at the age of 27 for swearing

Haddish’s grandmother passed on some of her best tips to her granddaughter, which she can now use during her many red carpet appearances.

“She taught me certain ways to stand,” the actress explained. ‘We didn’t have a lot of money, because models didn’t make a lot of money at that time. She taught me a lot about fashion and making clothes. I like making clothes and stuff like that. So fashion is part of who I am, and it’s the way you express yourself.”
