Anna Faris says there are two characters from her past that she still loves and might even want to revisit
“I feel like I’ve been really lucky,” Faris tells PEOPLE
The actress, 49, recently reprised her role as Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 6
Anna Faris is returning to the big screen as Cindy Campbell, but admits there are a few other characters from her past she’d like to revisit.
The Mom actress, 49, will step back into Cindy’s shoes for Scary Movie 6 and tells PEOPLE there are two other characters from her filmography that she’d be happy to play again, one of which is Shelley from 2008’s The House Bunny.
“I love Shelley. I do love Shelley. Shelley is near and dear to my heart,” Faris shares.

Shelley was the titular “house bunny” in the movie, a former playmate who became the house mother for a down-on-their-luck sorority, teaching them confidence and inner love. In addition to Faris, the comedy starred Emma Stone, Colin Hanks, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis.
In 2024, Faris told PEOPLE that the Fred Wolf-directed film was “a life-changing role.”
“Fundamentally, career stuff aside, playing a character that had so much compassion and lack of judgment, a character who really led with her heart… it sounds really corny, but I think it made me feel like it was easier to make friends in a weird way,” she shared.

Another character that Faris “really loved” is Samantha James in Just Friends, but for entirely different reasons.
“She’s just a delicious little villain, such an indulgent brat. It was delicious to play,” she tells PEOPLE. “I feel like I’ve been really lucky.”
“Maybe there could be an opportunity where I get to play either one of those characters again. I would just love that,” she adds.
Just Friends is a 2005 Christmas comedy that starred Faris as Samantha, a self-absorbed pop star and, to many, a style icon. In addition to Faris, the holiday cult classic starred Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Chris Klein, Chris Marquette, Mike Brander and Julie Hagerty.
Faris’ latest role, however, looked a little different. The actress was recently tapped to go undercover as a Candy Crush mascot during a Los Angeles Clippers game, leading to a surprise on-court reveal.
“Candy Crush asked me to come and join them as Bubblegum Troll. I am wearing a wild costume,” Faris shares of her partnership with the beloved puzzle game. “I get to become part of a game that I love to play, especially when I’m waiting for my son outside of tennis practice or soccer practice or whatever sport he thinks he likes for a minute or two, and then he doesn’t.”
“I get to bring joy and playfulness to a huge crowd of people. I’m thrilled. I get to have this childlike fun and energetic experience.”
