“I don’t know exactly where it started, but pretty soon everyone was asking me if I was parodying Cameron Diaz. I felt terrible, because first of all Sofia [Coppola, writer-director] never mentioned her. We had talked about a couple of actresses, nothing too specific, and certainly not Cameron.”
She added that she does not think Coppola thought of Diaz when making the film. Faris felt bad about the rumors and wanted to make amends withThe Bad Teacherstar.
“I wanted to apologize to her but I guess I never got the chance.”
The film director Coppola also personally address the rumor in a conversation with Daily Beast,
“The character of the actress was based on a bunch of people—just that type. I could probably name eight people that she was based on, just that bubbly, extroverted blonde that you see on talk shows. It was the opposite of the Scarlett character, where I was feeling very introverted and didn’t know what I was doing.”
