Anna Faris still feels a little sore about mocking Cameron Diaz in Lost In Translation - because she had no idea she was lampooning the Charlie’s Angels star.

It has become fabled that writer/director Sofia Coppola was poking fun at Diaz in the film, and cast Faris as the movie star’s alter-ego. But the Scary Movie star had no idea.

She says, “That’s been really hard… I auditioned, without having read the script, pretty much exactly the way I played it (character) in the movie. I filmed for only about a week, so I didn’t get that much one-on-one time with Sofia Coppola. When the movie came out eight or nine months later and these questions started coming, I felt blindsided. I felt defensive at first… I felt so terrible about the whole thing.”

Faris still cannot believe her Lost In Translation character is based on Diaz, despite the rumors: “I don’t think Sofia’s that vindictive”
