Cameron Diaz believes she was used as a drug mule.

The 49-year-old actress struggled to land work as a model when she moved to Paris earlier in her career and even when she finally booked a job, it turned out not to be what it seemed as she was asked to transport a locked suitcase to another country.

Speaking on the โ€˜Second Lifeโ€™ podcast, she said: โ€œI 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.

โ€œBut I was there a full year and didnโ€™t work one day. I couldnโ€™t book a job to save my life. Then I got one job but, really, I think I was a mule carrying drugs to Morocco โ€” I swear to God.

โ€œThis was the early โ€™90s and they gave me a locked suitcase that had my โ€˜costumesโ€™ in it.โ€

It was only when Cameron was at the airport in Morocco and was asked to open the case that she realised how risky her conduct had been.

She continued: โ€œ[I thought] โ€œWhat the f*** is in that suitcase? Iโ€™m like this blonde-haired blue-eyed girl in Morocco, itโ€™s the nineties, Iโ€™m wearing torn jeans and platform boots and my hair down. Iโ€™m like โ€ฆ this is really unsafe.

I told them, I donโ€™t know, itโ€™s not mine, Iโ€™ve no idea whose it is.โ€™ That was the only job I got in Paris.โ€

Cameron left the suitcase with customs officials when she returned to France after the modelling job and soon afterwards was cast in her first ever film, The Maskโ€™.

However, the blonde beauty admitted she thought her agent was โ€œinsaneโ€ when she was urged to try out for the role of Tina Carlyle.

She recalled: โ€œI thought โ€˜are you insane?โ€™ I donโ€™t act, first off โ€ฆ itโ€™s not what I do.โ€
