Cameron Diaz<\/a> in Outcome, the new black comedy movie – has offered some words of wisdom to those hoping to follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\nHe told E! News: “Try not to be a f****** a******. Go to work and respect who you’re working with until they prove they don’t get your respect. Try not to be [an a******]. It might not work out, but try.”<\/p>\n
Cameron, on the other hand, noted that every person who encounters fame and success experiences it differently.<\/p>\n
The Hollywood star said: “I would say there’s no handbook or manual on being famous, so you have to write your own and follow your own manuscript. You got to just make it your own. You can’t really do it – you don’t know what it’s going to be. Reach out to other people that you admire, the way that they do it, and ask them for some advice.”<\/p>\n
\nMeanwhile, Keanu previously revealed that he was encouraged to change his name when he first arrived in Hollywood.<\/p>\n
\nThe actor has enjoyed huge success in the movie business, but his manager thought Keanu’s name might stunt his career prospects.<\/p>\n
\nDuring an appearance on the New Heights podcast, Keanu explained: “I got paid when I was like 16, so I was a professional actor around 16, 17 [years old].<\/p>\n
\n“I was in Toronto, Canada, and then I got a manager who lived in Los Angeles … At 20 years old, I drove in my car to Los Angeles. Got out of my car and my manager said, \u2018We want to change your name.\u2019 So that\u2019s like, a welcome to Hollywood [moment]. <\/p>\n
\n“I remember I was walking on the beach and I was just like, \u2018My name? What if I change my name? What?'”<\/p>\n
\nKeanu actually considered changing his name to “Chuck Spadina” at one point in time. <\/p>\n
\nHe shared: “My middle name is Charles, so I was like, \u2018\u2026Chuck?\u2019 And I grew up on a street called Spadina, [therefore] Chuck Spadina. And then I was something Templeton. So then I became KC Reeves. <\/p>\n
\n“I was credited as KC Reeves \u2026 And then I couldn\u2019t do it. So then I would be in auditions and they would go, \u2018KC Reeves.\u2019 And I wouldn\u2019t even answer. Six months later, I was like, \u2018I\u2019m not doing this.\u2019 That\u2019s a Hollywood moment.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
