Cameron Diaz: It Was 'Great' Working With Ex Justin Timberlake

By Kelly Fisher Posted Apr 1st 2011 08:15AM

Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake's off-screen chemistry may have fizzled some time ago, but that didn't stop them from reuniting on the big screen for 'Bad Teacher.'

Diaz told PEOPLE it "really wasn't a big deal" that the pair star together in the film, adding that they "had a great time" together.

Diaz dished that Timberlake brought his A-game when it came to delivering comedy and that hiring him for the role was an easy decision.

"He's a genius comedian, everybody knows," she said. "'Saturday Night Live' and all the stuff that he's done over the years, he's clearly talented. We went for the best person for the job, and it just so happened that it was him. And he delivers."

Diaz also revealed it was fun having Timberlake around on set.

"Justin and I have always had a good laugh together, and to make a movie where we get to have a laugh together," Diaz said. "There really was no one else who was more perfect for this part. That's why he got the part."

Timberlake and Diaz split in 2007 after four years of dating, but don't expect the pair to reunite romantically any time soon. Though Timberlake recently broke off his relationship with Jessica Biel, Diaz's relationship with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez is going strong.
