Jennifer Coolidge's dating history explored as actress says her career stalled because of her obsession over a man

Jennifer Coolidge recently reflected on how her career took a hit because of a man.

The White Lotus alum sat with The Times for an interview that came out on Sunday, March 23. During the interview, she revealed that she wasted her time on a man she was "obsessed" with.

“Well, it’s a moment and you have to seize the day. Your agent is calling you. People are interested. But I dilly-dallied,” Coolidge, 63, said. “I wanted this guy that I was obsessed with. I wanted him to like me, so I went completely off-track. I wasted a lot of time — and that moment passes. And, God, if I could live my life over again, I wouldn’t have done what I did.”

She went on:

“Actually I don’t want to say it was just one guy. It was guys and, well, everyone wants certain things in their life at a certain time. I was trying to have relationships with men who were unavailable, or there are guys out there who really hate women deep down and I certainly dated them.”

As for the one piece of advice she would impart to people now, it's to keep their sights on success. Scroll down to learn all about the actress' dating life.
