diaz enjoys "the good feeling" she experiences while playing fiona, and prefers playing her character as an ogre over a princess, the former of which she finds beautiful. apart from the "charlie's angels" sequel "" (2003), "shrek" is the only franchise in which diaz has reprised a role. diaz regards "shrek" as one of the few film franchises that maintain poignancy and integrity throughout, elaborating that each film has "great messages ... for everyone. all audiences can watch this.” the origins of fiona's parents had not yet been disclosed in the first film, therefore diaz voiced fiona using an american accent. after discovering that english actors julie andrews and john cleese would voice her parents queen lillian and king harold, respectively, in "shrek 2", diaz wished she had voiced her character with a british accent as opposed to her default californian accent, relenting, "how come i sound like i’m from california?" she identified her accent as one of the few things she would have changed about her performance. bob thompson of the "ottawa citizen" observed that few, if any, critics took issue with the inconsistency. although admitting that working on the films for only a few hours at a time sporadically sometimes resulted in her feeling that she is not "100 per cent involved with it ... at the same time, that character is so my character. i feel very possessive of fiona. it's interesting to see something that's not actually tangible so fully embody your essence. it feels like i've lent something to this film that i could never give to any other film, in a weird way." diaz would often defend fiona's appearance from interviewers asking how she feels playing an "ugly" character, explaining, "'i think she's beautiful.' it's shocking to me that that's the perception, just because she's big and round. i think she's lovely. her body is everything that she is inside. i love that she is the princess who isn’t like all the other princesses. she doesn’t look like them, and she's just as beloved and accepted. in "shrek the third" (2007), diaz co-starred alongside her ex-boyfriend, singer justin timberlake, with whom she had broken up the previous year. timberlake plays her character's cousin and heir to her father's throne, arthur pendragon. "shrek 2" features a brief reference to timberlake; a picture of a young knight by the name of "sir justin" appears in fiona's childhood bedroom, which is believed to be a reference to their then-relationship. diaz was unaware of timberlake's cameo in the second film until she watched it, believing that he was cast before they were a couple. although timberlake was first cast as arthur while he was still dating diaz, producer aron warner insists that timberlake's involvement was not influenced by his relationship with diaz, explaining that he won the role based on his own merit and comedic timing. the film's may 2007 premiere in los angeles commemorated the first media event at which the former couple had been photographed since their relationship ended. director mike mitchell denied media speculation that timberlake and his character's omission from "shrek forever after" (2010) correlated to diaz and timberlake's breakup, explaining that arthur was written out solely to allow more screen time for more important characters.
