The owner of one of the most radiant smiles in Hollywood Cameron Diaz remembered an unpleasant story that happened to her in her youth.

In the early 1990s, Cameron Diaz only dreamed of cinema and crazy popularity. Then he just worked as a model. One day, the star decided to leave her native California and conquer the catwalks of Paris. However, things did not turn out the way we would like, according to The Guardian.

On the Second Life podcast, Diaz admitted that the only job she received in her entire year in France was to transport a mysterious closed suitcase to Morocco. According to Cameron, that briefcase allegedly contained her images for filming. Then the future actress agreed to the proposal. After all, at that time she was not all right with finances. She took every opportunity to make money.

I was in Paris for a whole year and did not work a day. I couldn’t find any job to survive. Then I found something. But, as it turned out, I became a drug courier who transported drugs to Morocco, I swear to God, the blonde remembered that period.

Cameron admitted that she did not know what she was transporting. Only when she was asked to open her suitcase at the airport did Diaz begin to suspect something. Then she began to panic.

However, now Cameron Diaz recalls the situation with a smile:

What the **** is in that suitcase? I’m a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl, driving alone in Morocco, on the street of the 90s, I’m in ripped jeans and platform boots. It’s wildly dangerous,” Cameron jokes.

But then the star was not in the mood for jokes. However, she easily avoided problems by lying that it was not her suitcase. Thus, Diaz avoided a 10-year sentence. And she gave the suitcase to the airport staff.

It was my only job I ever got in Paris,” the actress said.

After that incident, Cameron moved to Los Angeles. There, the then 21-year-old blonde successfully passed the casting for the comedy “Mask” with Jim Carrey. This debut film made Diaz a real star.
