Cameron Diaz at her best


Why the hell did she go and get so skinny? She was absolutely sizzling in this movie! Fast forward just a few years to There's Something About Mary and she is skin and bones with a crappy haircut. Such a shame.

Yes, she was a goddess in this film. Perfection I’d say.

It’s indeed unfortunate she kept losing weight with every movie she did after “The Mask” (she did look great in her own right for years though). However, her appearance in “There’s Always Something About Mary” was what the script called for.

Why did she get so skinny anyway? Feeling self-conscious for whatever reasons, her body naturally changed, living up to the bogus beauty standards the entertainment world held up for such a long time (I suppose still does despite the call for change), or could be all of the above. Whatever the case may be, she was definitely something special in The Mask.

That doesn't even look like the same woman. It's scary, really.. not only about the insane weight loss but her skin on her face became just horrible with adult acne, pits and a rough look and she aged rapidly. In ''The Mask'' she was just stunning. I can not believe how quickly she transformed for the worse. Emaciation, skin changes and rapid ageing makes me think she had a serious ''problem''.

She done did well in this role. Who else would have played a great Tina Carlyle, besides Jane March?

I'm not even a fan of Diaz, but she's just mind-blowing in this film. "The Mask" showcases her in her physical prime and the movie's worth watching just for her and her curvy beauty.

Shes always been skinny. She just wore tight dresses and its a known fact she wore a push up bra to make her breasts seem large.

Look at Kat Dennngs for example shes got curves always has
