Tom Cruise wishes he had played Cameron Diaz’s character in The Mask.
The 37-year-old actress became an overnight star when she played sexy blonde Tina Carlyle in the 1994 film. The role saw Cameron win numerous awards, including one for most desirable female.
The movie launched Cameron’s career, and she has since starred in dozens of hit films, but Tom, 47, thinks he could have played it better.
However, the actor, who stars opposite Cameron in new action film Knight and Day, admits he wouldn’t have looked a sexy in a skirt as the blonde beauty did.
“I wish I had been in The Mask,” Tom told Empire magazine. “I’d have wanted Cameron’s role. I don’t think I would have looked quite as good as her though!”
In Knight and Day, a woman gets involved with a secret agent with disastrous consequences.
