Anna Faris has spoken of how excited she was to work with Hugh Hefner in the Playboy Mansion.

Some people will do anything to try and gatecrash a party at the mansion, but Scary Movie star Anna came up with the idea for her latest comedy House Bunny, and was delighted when it was picked up and made into a movie.

The 31-year-old blonde stars as Shelley, a Playboy bunny who is thrown out of the mansion and taken in by a house of dorky sorority girls from Zeta Alpha Zeta.

Anna said: "It was incredible to think of an idea and then two years later to be shooting at the playboy mansion with Heff and the girls next door. Everyday I had this overwhelming feeling like this is, this can't be happening, this is so surreal, and so it's really exciting and to be here tonight promoting it, it's amazing. I have to like pinch myself all the time."

By chance the Zeta Alpha Zeta need Shelley's help to sex themselves up and save their sorority.

Anna revealed: "I was a really late bloomer growing up. I was really short, and I had braces, and people, nobody ever believed I was in high school because I looked so young and no guys liked me. I had to find other ways to sort of find my self-confidence, which was good for me."

The film also stars Rumer Willis and Emma Stone.
