Cameron Diaz reveals she may have unknowingly smuggled drugs

Los Angeles, July 11 (SocialNews.XYZ) Hollywood star Cameron Diaz may have unknowingly smuggled drugs to Morocco.

Opening up about her early days as a model in Paris, the 49-year-old believes she was once used as a "mule" to carry illegal substances in a locked suitcase, reports aceshowbiz.com.

The actress talked about her struggle to land a job prior to scoring her breakout role in "The Mask" during an appearance on the 'Second Life' podcast.

"I started working as a catalogue model and I got enough money to move to Paris and get an apartment, which I shared with a girl who is still one of my best friends," she shared.

"But I was there a full year and didn't work one day. I couldn't book a job to save my life," the mother of one continued to divulge. "Then I got one job but, really, I think I was a mule carrying drugs to Morocco - I swear to God."

She added: "This was the early '90s, and they gave me a locked suitcase that had my 'costumes' in it. It was before TSA (Transportation Security Administration) or anything like that."

"I'm this blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl in Morocco. I'm wearing torn jeans and platform boots, with my hair down - this is really unsafe...I told them, I don't know, it's not mine, I've no idea whose it is,' " she added.

"That was the only job I got in Paris."

Diaz said she eventually left the suitcase with custom officials when she returned to France after the modelling job.

The actress took a long hiatus from acting following the release of her film "Annie" in 2014 to concentrate on "so many parts of my life...that I wasn't touching and that I wasn't managing."

After eight years, the actress has announced she's ready to make her acting comeback for a new Netflix movie titled "Back in Action" that will reunite her with her "Annie" co-star Jamie Foxx.
