London, March 13 - American actor Nick Cannon wants to make a comedy film with wife Mariah Carey, saying she is the funniest person he knows.

'I'd love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She's the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time,' imdb.com quoted Cannon as saying.

Mariah admits she felt 'tortured' by the role in 'Precious' based on the novel Push by Sapphire, although she believes it has made her a better person.

'It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad. I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he's a sick man. He wanted to torture me,' she said.

'But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don't worry about certain things in the same way any more.'
