Cameron Diaz Claims Colin Firth Seduced Her

Cameron Diaz has said that she fell for Colin Firth during the filming of their new movie, Gambit.

 

Cameron Diaz, 40 told The Telegraph’s Mandrake that she fell under the charms of the definitive Mr Darcy on the set.

Cameron Diaz said: “He seduced me straight away. I was like, 'What is going on here? Why am I falling in love with Colin Firth?’”

 Colin Firth, on the other hand, didn’t think that Cameron Diaz saw him at his best, saying: “My legs are on show in the film a lot. Men’s legs are not, sadly, very attractive.”

Firth’s legs didn’t put Cameron Diaz off, though. “It’s the British sense of humour” she said “it is unique”.

Wednesday was a big night for Cameron Diaz as she attended the premiere of Gambit in London. Even after the premiere and afterparty, she still wasn't ready to head back to her hotel, though. She went to another party before calling it a night at 2am, looking somewhat bleary-eyed.

It looked like Cameron Diaz may have had a touch of jet lag, looking sleepy as she was helped out of Bodo's Schloss, the newly-opened Kensington club, the location of Elizabeth Saltzman's Gambit launch party.

Cameron Diaz also looked like she wasn’t keen on the cold weather, dressed as she was in a big black coat by Emilia Wickstead over the top of her dress and jacket whilst walking to her waiting car outside the club.

 Earlier in the evening she was posing on the red carpet at the movie premiere, also attended by co-stars Colin Firth and Alan Rickman.

It was rumoured in January that Cameron Diaz had had breast enlargement surgery to go up a cup size and she was looking bustier than usual in her Stella McCartney dress.



 After the premiere, Cameron Diaz went to London's Corinthia Hotel, which is where this year's X Factor hopefuls are staying, to attend the official Gambit premiere afterparty.

The hotel had created a special Gambit cocktail for the event which was made from eucalyptus-infused gin blended with orange and wormwood bitters and acacia honey.

At the subsequent Bodos Schloss party, Cameron Diaz was joined by numerous celebrities including Geri Halliwell and Elle Macpherson.

 The film is a remake of the 1966 movie, Gambit which starred Sir Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. This version was written by the Coen brothers and directed by Michael Hoffman.


Colin Firth stars as Harry Deane, a British art curator who cons his boss Lord Shabandar, played by Alan Rickman, into purchasing a fake Monet painting as a way of taking revenge for years of abuse.

Cameron Diaz plays PJ Puznowski, eccentric Texas rodeo queen whom he enlists to help.  

Gambit starring Cameron Diaz and Colin Firth is due for release in the UK on 21st November.
