Cameron Diaz credits her co-stars as the reason she could get back to shooting their new flick after her dad died in the middle of filming.
Cameron, 36, was left devastated after her dad Emilio died after contracting pneumonia while she was shooting movie My Sister’s Keeper.
She said: “I was really, really fortunate to have these people to come back to.”
Cameron, who is currently promoting the new film with her co-stars Abigail Breslin and Sofia Vassilieva, added: “Being able to go back to the group of people who were there waiting for me was a blessing… so that’s really sort of the only way I was able to do it.”
The film’s director, Nick Cassavetes, worked through her absence by filming around her for two weeks.
He said: “To talk about this subject, you really have to say that people are more important than movies, and we forget that sometimes.”
He added: “We were all stunned to find out that he had died so suddenly and, apparently, he was a hell of a guy and a gigantic influence on Cameron.”
