Anna Faris wants a sequel to The House Bunny where she plays a CIA interrogator… revealing that was a ‘life-changing role’ for her

As a dedicated fan of Anna Faris, I can’t help but be excited about her recent revelation of her desire to reprise her iconic role as Shelly Darlingson from The House Bunny. This movie holds a special place in my heart for many reasons, and it brings back so many memories of my own experiences.


Anna Faris expresses her interest in returning as Shelly Darlingson in the 2008 comedy “The House Bunny.”

At the age of 27, this Playboy Playmate found herself unexpectedly evicted from the Playboy Mansion. Determined to prove herself, she accepted a new role as a house mother for a quirky sorority. Her goal: to transform these awkward girls into campus beauties.

As someone who has worked in the film industry for decades, I can tell you that having a production bring in over $129 million in revenue with a budget of only $25 million is nothing short of a miracle. The team behind this movie, led by director Fred Wolf and writers Karen McCullah and Kirsten Smith, truly outdid themselves with their project. I’ve seen many films with big-name casts and massive marketing budgets fail to turn a profit, let alone surpass their production costs multiple times over.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that while this production managed to draw some audiences to the theaters, it unfortunately didn’t live up to critics’ expectations. The Rotten Tomatoes rating came in at a disappointing 43%, and an equally lackluster 50% was recorded from audience surveys.

Despite her recent discussion about her son Jack entering puberty, Faris continues to discuss the impactful movie role that was a “turning point” for her in an interview with People. She also shares her thoughts on potential sequels.

Faris shared her thoughts on the possibility of a sequel by saying, “I often imagine different scenarios for Shelley. At one point, I thought it would be interesting if she became a struggling country singer. But then again, another idea crossed my mind: perhaps she should work as a CIA interrogator instead.”

“Faris remarked that her ability to disarm people is due to her open and nonjudgmental demeanor, which is how she comes across to others.”

As a lifestyle expert, I can imagine Shelley expressing her thoughts in a more relatable and conversational way.

She mentioned that playing the role of Shelly Darlingson had a profound impact on her personally, even if it didn’t result in significant box office success.

As an obsessed fan, I can’t help but feel deeply connected to the characters she brings to life. Beyond her successful career, there’s something truly special about the roles she chooses – ones where compassion and understanding are at the forefront. These aren’t just characters; they’re women who lead with their hearts, and watching her portray them is an unforgettable experience for me.

Faris confessed, “It may seem cheesy, but I believe it helped me in an unusual way to connect with new friends.”

She shares that the role was uncomplicated for her, yet deeply enjoyable to portray a person who didn’t feel the need to compete with others and radiated warmth instead.

“Today, I found myself longing to live my life in response to that experience, showering myself with compliments. It was almost as if this was a method for me to counteract feelings of jealousy.”

Today, she continues to embrace Shelly’s perspective, expressing further, “I cherished portraying a role that was so abundant in affection.”

The actress, aged 47, who has an eleven-year-old son named Jack with her ex-husband Chris Pratt, 45, disclosed that her boy is entering puberty.

I was thrilled to pieces when he shared with Hoda and Justin on Today that he believes he’s growing armpit hair. It’s truly unfolding before my very eyes!

Faris was there promoting her upcoming film, My Spy: The Eternal City.

Sylvester encouraged the loving mother, “Prepare yourself, dear. The event is imminent. Go ahead and give him plenty of hugs and kisses beforehand.”
