Aussie stunner Jennifer Hawkins has agreed to star alongside comedian Steve Martin in The Pink Panther 2. A sequel to last year's remake of the classic Peter Sellers comedy, the film will see Hawkins playing a small role.
The actress, who is currently filming a segment for a travel show, The Great Outdoors in Ibiza, was originally offered to play the female lead, but since she was unable to accept the role, the producers had to think of a different arrangement.
"I'm so excited and even though I'm not going to be able to accept the main role, they've offered me this role. I hope that we can still find time in November and December to take a smaller role," a magazine quoted Hawkins as saying.
   A couple of years ago, too, Hawkins had to let go of the lead role in the Adam Sandler comedy Click, owing to other commitments. Jennifer is extremely excited about a comedy flick.
