Connecting Cameron Diaz and Tom Hardy
Cameron Diaz
Diaz's only film project of 2013 was Ridley Scott's '' The Counselor'', co-starring Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, and Brad Pitt.
Ridley Scott
The film was commercially successful despite receiving mixed reviews. Scott's next film, '' Black Hawk Down'' (2001), featuring Tom Hardy in his film debut, was based on a group of stranded US soldiers fighting for their lives in Somalia; Scott was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director.

A. O. Scott of ''The New York Times'', agreeing with other top critics on co-star Daniel Day-Lewis's presence overshadowing Diaz and DiCaprio, felt that the actress "ends up with no outlet for her spitfire energies, since her character is more a structural necessity — the linchpin of male jealousy — than a fully imagined person.
Daniel Day-Lewis
He and other young British actors of the time, such as Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, Tim Roth, and Bruce Payne, were dubbed the "Brit Pack".
Colin Firth
English actor
Firth appeared as senior British secret agent Bill Haydon in the 2011 adaptation of the John le Carré novel ''Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy'', directed by Tomas Alfredson and co-starring Gary Oldman, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong and John Hurt.

She followed ''In Her Shoes'' with a role in Nancy Meyers' romantic comedy '' The Holiday'' (2006), also starring Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black.

American filmmaker
Subsequently, Meyers penned two drafts of the script before agreeing to direct, but as Roth left the studio in January 2000, Disney dismissed the film and the project eventually went to Paramount. By the following year, Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt had signed on to star in leading roles and the project had been retitled '' What Women Want''.
