“I was [in Paris trying to make it as a model] a full year, and I didn’t work one day. I couldn’t book a job to save my life.
I got like one job, but really I think I was like a mule carrying drugs to Morocco — I swear to God.”It was before TSA or anything like that.
It was like early ’90s. They gave me a suitcase that was locked that had my ‘costumes’ in it — quote, unquote.”All of the calculations in my head went running back, like ‘what the f*ck 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.
That was my only job I ever got in Paris.”— Actress Cameron Diaz on the Second Life podcast reflecting on her pre-fame days as a struggling model.
