Focus at 'Shrek' premiere: ex-couple Diaz, Timberlake

"Shrek the Third" had its premiere in Britain on Monday, and the media event focused on two of its stars: ex-couple Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake.

The duo — who had been dating since 2003 — confirmed their split in early January.

Diaz, 34, and Timberlake, 26, embraced just before stepping onto the green carpet before a large crowd in London's glittering Leicester Square.

"We're friends. It's good to see him," said Diaz. She voices Princess Fiona in the DreamWorks animated blockbuster.

Timberlake, who voices the future King Arthur, said of the premiere: "It's massive, it doesn't get any bigger than this, I don't think."
