    EXCLUSIVE! Colin Firth named and shamed Cameron Diaz’s as the silliest person on set

    Cameron Diaz is famed for having an incredible sense of humour as well as being one of the hottest stars in Hollywood. And, according to Colin Firth her penchant for silliness doesn’t stop when she’s on set, although it’s not always a good idea to be the target of her cheeky side…

    We caught up with the stars as they promoted their movie, The Gambit, which saw the former Mr Darcy, strip off to his boxers and walk round The Savoy hotel. But, being on set with the cast and crew was just the start of his humiliation.

    Colin told us: 'I had to wait on stand-by to make an entrance at the lift doors and the Savoy, understandably, had not taken it upon themselves to advise every single one of their guests that there was a film taking place with a man without his trousers in the lobby. Self-conscious? Yes!’

    And that wasn’t his only pain as he continued with the story adding: ‘Cameron Diaz, being the kind and sweet and supportive colleague she was, assured me there was nothing to worry about with my legs, and they were magnificent specimens. Actually, she burst into a spontaneous belly laugh!’

    With friends like Cameron who needs enemies…

    To which the A-lister felt the need to defend herself so Cameron told us: ‘I think I pointed when I was laughing, at your knees particularly!’

    Ouch! At least we know the star’s charm isn’t just for the cameras.
