Cameron Diaz: I Couldn’t Stop Laughing At Cruise

Cameron Diaz couldn’t take Tom Cruise seriously when they were shooting new movie Knight and Day.

The pair play June Havens and Roy Miller in the action comedy. Roy is a secret agent, and June becomes caught up in his life after he realises he isn’t supposed to make it through his latest mission.

Cameron loved working with Tom, but found shooting action sequences hard. Although the scenes were supposed to be serious she couldn’t help giggling as she found them so surreal.

“Every day we would come to work and laugh consistently – you know that belly laugh. I mean, I do tend to laugh a lot but when you’re driving a car and you look out the window and there is Tom Cruise on the hood with a gun, that’s pretty funny,” she said. “It was funny for me anyway.”

Cameron has previously praised Tom’s dedication to shooting stunts, explaining he inspired her. She has vowed to be more like him, and take part in dangerous scenes even if they scare her.

“I watched him jumping on top of cars and hanging on to the roof as I’m screaming behind the wheel and all I can think is, ‘How does he do that? I want to do that! I want to fly through the air. I want to fight. Give me some action scenes!” she explained.
