Jennifer Tilly opened up about her personal life and revealed why she never had the desire to have any kids of her own.

In an appearance on the Sherri show on Thursday, the Chucky film franchise star explained the reasons why she opted to not become a mother, which she previously discussed in an episode of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills.

‘I never ever wanted kids,’ she told the host of the daytime talk show, Sherri Shepherd, before elaborating on her decision. 

‘I had, sort of, not a really great childhood and I felt like, well maybe I’ll make the same mistakes as my mother did because I could see myself making those mistakes,’ Tilly, 66, explained. ‘And I was like, you know what, sometimes I make bad choices in men and I didn’t want to put my kids through that.’

She went on to share about how she used to obsess about her biological clock in regards to her acting career, which ended up leading to bizarre dreams of her unborn babies.

‘There is such a thing as a biological clock, because I always had it for my career. Like, “Oh, I’m not getting famous fast enough.” But there is a biological clock, and I had it when I got to be about 37.’

She continued, ‘I would dream I was running through these darkened rooms and they were all crawling with babies and they were grabbing hold of me. They were like, “Mommy, mommy, we want to be born!” And I was slapping them down and I was like, “Out of my way! I’m late for the Oscars.”‘

After the laughter from the live audience and host quieted down, Tilly jokingly let it be known how she has decided to leave her mark on the world.

‘My contribution to the world is [the] Chucky movie. I think that’s a very important contribution,’ she explained. 

‘I don’t dream about having a baby that’s going to be the next president or, you know, discover the cure to some incurable disease. I dream about people coming to visit my grave and leaving me little Chucky dolls on my grave.’

The Academy Award-nominated actress, who has played Tiffany Valentine in the Chucky universe, began her career in television with guest appearances on the series Oh Madeline and Boone, both in 1983, that would lead to a recurring role on the hit show Hill Street Blues the following year.
