WASHINGTON: Magician Criss Angel has slammed media reports that say he was dating the svelte Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz. His argument: the A-list actress would not have any interest in him.

“No, we’re just friends. Seriously, do you think Cameron Diaz, one of the most beautiful women in the world and all of Hollywood, would have any interest in me?” contactmusic.com website reported.

There has been wide media speculation about their romantic involvement after the pair was spotted partying in Las Vegas last month. Thirty-four-year-old Diaz was seeing pop star Justin Timberlake before they formally split in January.
