Julia Louis-Dreyfus is unstoppable. Her characters always have us laughing uncontrollably. She wins awards left and right. But, apparently the star’s next goal is to add baby snatching to her resume.
In an interview with Conan, comedian and actress Jessica St. Clair discussed her friend, and onetime costar, Louis-Dreyfus and the star’s desire to take St. Clair’s baby. “Julia Louis Dreyfus, I adore her,” Conan starts. St. Clair cuts in, “The most beautiful woman in the world. I want to see the world through her eyes you know? Like in that movie Face Off I want to lay her face on top of mine and just see what she sees.”
St. Clair goes on to discuss meeting Louis-Dreyfus on the set of the film Enough Said. “She immediately said when was I gonna have a baby,” St. Clair said of her first meeting with Louis-Dreyfus. St. Clair said she got pregnant soon after Enough Said and began working with Louis Dreyfus, this time on Veep. When St. Clair informed the Seinfeld actress about her pregnancy, Louis-Dreyfus responded, “Drop that baby off at my house and I’ll raise it as my own. That baby is mine,” St. Clair shared with Conan. “It was like a Rumplestiltskin type of thing. And I still get these texts, like in the middle of the night that say ‘Where’s my baby,’” St. Clair laughs.
Louis-Dreyfus and was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress for her portrayal of Selina Meyer on the HBO series Veep. The series was picked up for a fifth season.
St. Clair is currently starring in the USA series Playing House with friend and comedian Lennon Parham.
