People can’t get enough of Tiffany Haddish and Common!
The couple turned up the heat in their steamy #SilhouetteChallenge video in January — and fans loved it. So will the two ever collaborate again? The answer is yes!
“[Yes], as far as I know from our conversation this morning,” Haddish tells ET’s Kevin Frazier while promoting her and Billy Crystal’s new movie, Here Today. “He’s fantastic. He’s in the studio. You know, I directed and produced that video and edited it myself. We’ll probably make one more, maybe two, but he’s one of those actors that keeps wanting a lot of takes. And I’m just not that type of director. I want it in three. Let’s go move on.”
In the video, Haddish wears a red trench coat, before it changes and the comedian is revealed in silhouette, seemingly rocking only her undergarments. Common then makes an appearance, and the two lock lips before the hilarious ending.
In the meantime, fans can see Haddish co-star alongside Crystal in Here Today. The film follows veteran comedy writer Charlie Burnz (Crystal) after he meets New York singer Emma Payge (Haddish). The two form an unlikely yet hilarious and touching friendship that kicks the generation gap aside and redefines the meaning of love and trust.
“The movie needed her,” Crystal tells ET. “It is a beautiful character, a complicated character. The character grows the first time we meet by chance to the last time we see them together, just joined as great friends. When I saw her, the charm, how funny she was, how fearless she was, the natural personality — and the movie was not set up — and I said, ‘We have to get this to her. This is for her.'”
“And then when I read about her past, about performing at bat mitzvahs and bar mitzvahs and stuff, we had written a scene [where] her character, Emma, sings ‘Piece of my Heart,’ a Janice Joplin song, at a bar mitzvah,” he continues. “So to me, Kevin, this was her destiny. That it was meant to be.”
Crystal met Haddish right away, noting that she was “even more interesting and charming and challenging [of a] person.”
“And I went, ‘This is the character! She has got to do this.’ And I even said to her, ‘It is important that you do this. This is a special movie for you,'” he adds.
