The actress and the directors of "Something About Mary" have told, for the 20th anniversary of the film, that they were about to eliminate one of their most mythical scenes
It seems like forever, but it wasn't that long ago that Cameron Diaz was a young actress making a career from comedy to comedy. Ben Stiller, back then, was able to pick up the pretty girl from school, despite getting her penis caught in his pants zipper or being caught on a hook when he was about to kiss her. Despite even the long hair and braces she wore.
He doesn't do as much, but he already does. Specifically, 20 years have passed since "Something About Mary" was released, directed by the Farelly brothers. To celebrate its anniversary, the filmmakers reviewed some of the funniest moments from the filming of the film and shared some unknown anecdote with 'Variety'.
For example, that Stiller's embarrassing accident is inspired by a real one, or that Cameron Diaz was about not to shoot a scene in the movie.
The sequence, starring Díaz, was in the chamber for a while until the Farellys decided to jump into the void. Specifically, it is the scene in which Mary's character mistakes the shower gel for semen and combs a strand of her hair up. The Farellys asked the actress if she had any problem with that part of the film and, although at first she declared that none, Cameron Díaz ended up showing his indecision, since he did not know if shooting that fragment would harm his career. .
"At first she had some questions since you never know how something is going to go before it's done," Cameron Diaz told 'Variety'. "I trusted Bobby and Petter [Farelly], because they're obviously hilarious, and when we saw the visual side of the gag, I realized how right they were."
