Ellen DeGeneres has made a tradition of scaring the guests she has on her show, so I imagine few are those who actually go on it and expect nothing out of the ordinary to happen to them. If Cameron Diaz knew what was in store for her, she didn’t show it.

Check out the video above to see how Ellen managed to surprise her in such a way as to have her give the “daintiest” cry ever.

Cameron was promoting a new movie and, whilst so doing, looking back on her 20-year career. She spoke of her first big acting role, in “The Mask” with Jim Carrey, and said she would have never dreamed it would turn out to be her launching pad.

While she recalled her 21st birthday, which she actually spent on the set of the movie, a guy in a yellow suit and a green mask walked up behind her and scared her. Cameron’s reaction wasn’t just “dainty,” it was also very cute.
