After struggling with modeling jobs early in her career, Cameron Diaz has revealed that she believes she was “abused as a drug mule” during that time.
The 49-year-old actress revealed that when she was in her early 20s and living in Paris, she tried for a year to get a job as a model. During that time, she booked a job that turned out to be suspicious after she was asked to carry a locked bag through the airport upon arrival.
When the celebrity moved to Paris, she “didn’t work every day,” despite working as a catalog model in the US.
“I was there for an entire year, yet I didn’t have to work a single day.
“I tried all in my power to find work, but to no avail.
“She revealed this information in an interview for the Second Life podcast. “I got like one job, but really I think I was like a mule delivering narcotics to Morocco – I swear to God,” she said.
She did not begin to wonder what was in the luggage until she arrived at the airport in Morocco and was requested to open it. At that point, she thought, “What the f**k is in that suitcase?
“I imagine myself to be this girl with blond hair and blue eyes who lives in Morocco in the nineties. I have my hair down, and I’m wearing ripped jeans and platform boots. I’m like…this is a pretty risky situation.”
She claims that she told the officials that it was not her case and that she had no idea whose it was, which is likely something that wouldn’t go over very well with the more stringent security checks that are prevalent at airports today.
She went on to say, “That was the one and only job I ever found in Paris.”
That shouldn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone.
Shortly after that, the leading lady made her debut in the film industry with a role in 1994’s The Mask, which is considered to be her breakout performance.
The actress, who is married to Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, went on to become one of the most paid performers in Hollywood. However, in 2014, she’retired’ from acting in order to focus on her business endeavors rather than continuing her starring career.
A best-selling health book that the celebrity had written while still working as an actor preceded the star’s decision to invest in health and biotech firms after he had already published the book.
The actress has just announced that she will be making a comeback to the acting world, and she will be playing alongside Jamie Foxx in the Netflix comedy titled “Back in Action.”
In response to the news that was released a week ago, Cameron made a witty remark, saying, “Jamie Foxx, only you could get me back in action!!!
“I just cannot wait, it’s going to be so much fun!’
In addition to that, she and her husband welcomed a girl by the name of Raddix into the world via surrogacy in the year 2019.
