Diaz played a nightclub singer named Tina Carlyle opposite Carrey’s Stanley Ipkis, a bank teller who comes into possession of a magical mask. Carrey told Comicbook.com in December 2024 that he would return for a sequel, but “it has to be the right idea.”

Jim Carrey, who turns 63 on Friday, Jan. 17, has portrayed several iconic characters in his career, including The Grinch, The Mask, Truman Burbank, The Riddler and Dr. Eggman. See 10 of his most notable roles here.

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.
