After 11 years of absence, Cameron Diaz is back in Hollywood. It’s in the blockbuster Back in Actionalongside Jamie Foxx, that the actress reconnected with her passion for comedy. And obviously, even if this distance from the film sets has done her a world of good, she does not seem ready to repeat the experience.
In addition to soon returning to her role as Princess Fiona in a new episode of ShrekCameron Diaz would not be against the possibility of taking over that of… Tina Carlyle. A heroine far from being anecdotal in her career since, 30 years ago, it was this cabaret singer who made her a film star.
Cameron Diaz ready to reunite The Mask
Remember, in 1994, she joined the cast of The Mask and saw Jim Carrey – in the skin of the clumsy banker Stanley Ipkis – trying to charm her at the same time as he struggled with another overexcited personality born from a strange mask. A cult comedy Tex Avery which hasn’t always aged well with respect to certain jokes, but which she could revisit.
-Asked by Access Hollywood about such a possibility, Cameron Diaz was up for it, provided she wasn’t the only one: “If Jim’s up for it, I’ll be up for it. I have been since day one“. A confession which should make the producers happy, they who, for 20 years, have been trying to make people forget the existence of the horribly worthless The Son of the Maskan imagined film… without the two stars.
And what does Jim Carrey think about it? Good news, the actor is also up for it. In the middle of the promotion of Sonic 3the actor recently confided that he was not closing the door to such a sequel. But there too, there is a condition to be respected for him to accept: “If anyone ever has a good idea… If so, then I guess so“.
