Dustin Hoffman has always wondered why he never married Barbra Streisand. We are sure his wife Lisa Hoffman appreciates the thought.

Then finally, we were both cast in 'Meet The Fockers' in 2004 as a married couple."On the first day of shooting, I said to her, 'Why didn't you and I ever get married?' She just looked at me and without missing a beat, she said, 'Because we would have killed each other!' "Hoffman recently revealed he has no plans to retire, even though he's been in showbusiness for over 50 years.The 'Rain Man' star said: "At my age I take anything I can get. I never stop working and I never stop ageing!"
