Actor Cameron Diaz reveals she was a 'drug mule'

In her Second Life podcast last week, Cameron Diaz opened up about the initial struggle days of her modelling career in Paris. The 49-year-old actor revealed that when she moved to Paris to pursue her modelling career, she was facing a hard time finding work for herself. After which she unknowingly got involved in some illegal activity. Diaz told podcast host Hillary Kerr-

"I was there a full year and didn’t work one day. I couldn’t book a job to save my life." Diaz continued, "Then I got one job but, really, I think I was a mule carrying drugs to Morocco — I swear to God."

She revealed that she was given a suitcase that the agency claimed had modelling costumes but she was shocked to discover that it had no costumes and she was unknowingly being a part of some illegal activity. Diaz said-

  "It was like early '90s. They gave me a suitcase that was locked that had my ‘costumes’ in it — quote, unquote."

When the Morocco official asked her to show the suitcase, she eventually told them it was not her as she suspected that something is fishy with the suitcase. Diaz added-

"All of the calculations in my head went running back, like 'what the f*** is in this suitcase?' I'm this blond-haired, blue-eyed girl in Morocco, it's the '90s, I'm wearing torn jeans and platform boots and my hair down, and this is really unsafe." She concluded, "That was the only job I got in Paris"

For the unversed, after that experience, she was approached by a casting agent in Los Angeles and then ended up being a part of The Mask. She then went on to become a big star in Hollywood and starred in several projects including Being John Malkovich, There’s Something About Mary, The Holiday, What Happens in Vegas, and many other films.
