Doge smuggler against her will? The American actress Cameron Diaz said in an interview that when she was a model she was once commissioned to fly from France to Morocco with a suitcase. The alleged contents of the suitcase: costumes. However, Diaz suspects that illegal drugs were actually hidden in the suitcase.
Before she became famous with films like “There’s Something About Mary” or “Being John Malkovich”, Cameron Diaz tried herself as a model. She left her parents’ home at the age of 16 and lived in countries such as Japan, Australia, Mexico and France for five years. But things didn’t always go smoothly for her. In Paris, after a year without orders, she once accepted an unusual job: she was supposed to fly to Morocco with a suitcase full of costumes, “but I think I was a drug courier who transported drugs to Morocco,” Diaz said in the Podcast “Second Life”.
Cameron Diaz: “I was that blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl”
When she got the suitcase from her client, it was locked. She didn’t try to check whether there really were costumes or rather drugs in the suitcase. When customs officials asked her at the airport in Morocco what was in the suitcase, Diaz must have gotten very nervous: “All these questions were buzzing around in my head, like: What the hell is in this suitcase? I was that blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl in ’90s Morocco. It really wasn’t safe!”.
So she told the customs officials that she didn’t own the suitcase and that she didn’t know what it contained. She also assured the customs officers that this was her first and last smuggling job. After that she could probably fly back to France – without the suitcase. A short time later, in 1994, Diaz got her first leading role in the movie “The Mask”, which laid the foundation for her later success.
Recently, Cameron Diaz has hardly been seen in the cinema. “Annie”, the last film she starred in, was released in 2014. But now the actress dares her comeback on the big screen. She’ll be starring in an upcoming Netflix production with Jamie Foxx, Back in Action.
