I was -1 years old when Cameron Diaz made one of the most impressive film debuts alongside comedy legend Jim Carrey.

1994 was the year of Chuck Russell's The Mask, which follows timid bank clerk Stanley Ipkiss (Carrey) who unearths a magical mask - unleashing his wild alter ego (with superpowers).

Stanley then comes up against crime boss Dorian Tyrell (Peter Greene), while Cameron Diaz makes her start in Hollywood as lounge singer Tina Carlyle, The Mask's eventual love interest.

In a recent interview with Access Hollywood, Diaz was asked about reprising her debut role, noting that Carrey kind of said he would be up for it.

"If Jim’s on board, I mean, I’ve been riding those coattails from day one," she admitted.

This comes after Comicbook.com asked the Dumb and Dumber actor about the possibility of a sequel, to which he replied: "Oh gosh, you know, it has to be the right idea.

"If somebody had the right idea, I guess… It’s not really about the money. I joke about the money… But I never know.

"You can’t be definite about these things. I said I’d like to retire, but I think I was talking more about power-resting.

"Because as soon as a good idea comes your way, or a group of people that you really enjoyed working with and stuff, it just – things tend to change."

Meanwhile, Diaz's new comedy flick - Back In Action - marked her return to acting following a 10-year retirement, alongside Jamie Foxx.

Her last on-screen role was a decade ago in the 2014 Annie.

Previously speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Diaz said: “I did that for so long, it’s kind of like the process, I kind of just fell back into it. But it feels a little bit different.

“The last movie I made was Annie with Jamie, and so the first movie back is this film with Jamie.

“He’s so great, he’s so easy, he’s so professional, he’s so talented, and just being able to work with him.”

Foxx previously told Entertainment Tonight that he persuaded Diaz to come out of retirement.

"Cameron is such an incredible force and she has done so much in this business," he said.

"We love her. So it was literally, 'Do you wanna have some fun? Just have some fun!' And I think that's what brought her to it.

"We miss special moments sometimes in our business, and I think this is a special moment.

"So we're so happy that it's happening and looking forward to it."
