Faris on Scary Movie 6: Pushing for a "MAGA" Cindy
7 Jun
Summary
- Anna Faris wanted Cindy Campbell to be a 'classic MAGA' character.
- A Melania Trump 'Be Best' joke was considered for the film.
- Faris returns for Scary Movie 6 after skipping Scary Movie 5.
Anna Faris recently reprised her role as Cindy Campbell in Scary Movie 6, her first appearance in the franchise since 2006's Scary Movie 4. Faris shared her intention to portray Cindy as a "classic MAGA" type, drawing inspiration from figures seen in online discourse.
During filming, Faris proposed a scene where Cindy, while intoxicated in her truck, would reference Melania Trump's "Be Best" initiative with the line, "Be best, Cindy Campbell." This joke, aimed at the former First Lady's campaign against cyberbullying, was ultimately omitted from the final cut.
Faris admitted to pushing for more provocative character elements, stating she wanted Cindy to be "classic MAGA rabbit hole." The actress felt empowered by the film's inherently offensive nature, allowing her creative freedom.
Her participation in Scary Movie 6 signifies a return to the series after she opted out of Scary Movie 5 in 2013. She is reunited with original cast members Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, and Regina Hall.
