Anna Faris became a star through the Scary Movie franchise. The character Cindy Campbell has made people laugh since 2000 for her line deliveries and facial expressions.
But Faris, 49, revealed there was a sexy role that made her jealous. Director Keenan Ivory Wayans noticed and gave her advice.
Anna Faris Was Jealous of Shannon Elizabeth in 'Scary Movie'
Shannon Elizabeth played Buffy Gilmore in the first movie, who was a pageant queen. She had comedic moments while wearing cute outfits. Faris noticed her character was portrayed differently.
"I remember Keenen saw me and must have conveyed envy toward Shannon Elizabeth getting to look so beautiful and sexy, and I just fundamentally did not feel that I should be watched, as a person," Faris told Variety. "I was a 'back of the class' kinda kid. And Keenen told me, 'There’s no vanity in comedy.'"

Elizabeth didn't return to the franchise while Faris became the face of it. However, her partnership with the director wasn't smooth. The franchise was taken away from him and he asked Faris not to do the sequels despite her being locked into a three-movie deal.
"It was such a devastating moment in the sense that I admired Keenen so much, and he was asking me to do something, but I was under contract," the actress explained. "He said, 'All they can do is sue you!' and I’m thinking, 'I’m living in a one-bedroom apartment by the farmer’s market!'"
Faris later didn't star in Scary Movie 5. The director and other familiar stars have returned for the 2026 movie. Regina Hall, Lochlyn Munro, Carmen Electra, and Dave Sheridan from the first movie are also back to spoof newer films like Ma, Sinners, Get Out, and more.
Scary Movie is now available in theaters.
