Anna Faris has recently unlocked one fear she experienced while filming first Scary Movie.

The House Bunny star expressed concerns of being fired from the 2000 horror parody movie because of her inexperience to be cast as the lead character Cindy Campbell.

"I remember being just so scared that I was gonna get fired because I had no body of work behind me. I didn't even have an agent,” she told PEOPLE magazine.

Anna confessed that she was “so quiet and so intimidated” on the set of the first two Scary Movie.

However, later on, the actress took the situation head-on and did not let fears overshadow her brightness notably during Scary Movie 3 shoot in 2003.

“For me, it felt like I got to pay more attention. I did get to involve myself more,” she continued.

Anna, however, added, “I did feel comfortable making small talk and having banter and doing what normal people do as opposed to just hiding in the corner, hoping that no one will notice me.”

Finally, decades later, the actress shared that she’s excited to reprise her role as Cindy Campbell in new Scary Movie 6.

“For all of us to be back together, for me, it felt like such a victory,” she spilled to the same outlet.

Anna further said that she is not concerned about the feedback of the movie but at that moment, she felt “so good”.

“It's like the cherry on top that audiences are so excited to see it. It's a really special time in my life. I feel grateful,” she stated.
