Why Did Cameron Diaz Quit Acting?

Cameron Diaz was making cash every year starring in hits like “There’s Something About Mary.”

So, why did Cameron go from Hollywood’s “eternal bachelorette” to a devoted wife and mother?

A source told RadarOnline the former actress has turned down “dozens” of roles in recent years.

The insider told the site, “It’s no exaggeration to say that if she had been working rather than resting and planning her home future, she could have banked up to $100 million or more.”

Once one of the highest-paid actresses, the insider revealed that turning down the roles “is a price worth paying.”

In January 2020, Diaz celebrated the birth of her first child, cementing her dramatic transformation from tireless movie star to doting “off-the-radar” wife and mother.

Cameron has spent years in seclusion after ending her glittering film career to devote time to herself and her rock star husband, Benji Madden.

“I have devoted more than half my life to the public. I think it’s okay if I take time for myself now,” Cameron told InStyle.

She told friend Gwyneth Paltrow in 2020 that she has been “at peace” since she left her lucrative Hollywood career.

Is Cameron Coming Out Of Retirement?

Jamie Foxx took to Twitter on Wednesday, June 29, 2022 announce the return of Cameron Diaz to the film.

“Cameron, I hope you’re not upset that I recorded this, but there’s no going back now. Had to call the GOAT to bring back another GOAT.

“@Cameron Diaz and I are BACK IN ACTION – our new film with @NetflixMovie. Start of production this year!”

The Project Power actor shared a hilarious audio clip of him and ‘non-retirement’ king Tom Brady trying to calm Cameron’s nerves.

She will appear alongside Jamie in Netflix’s new action comedy film Back in Action.

Cameron confirmed the news on Instagram, writing: “Jamie Foxx only you could get me back in action!!! I can’t wait, it’s going to be a great time!”

Who is she married to and how many children do they have?

Cameron’s transformation from party movie star to married mom began in 2014 when she met Madden and starred in her recent films.

She chatted up the heavily tattooed Good Charlotte guitarist at a dinner party at her home when he attended as a plus one from his brother Joel and sister-in-law Nicole Richie.

The couple had actually met briefly a decade earlier when they both attended a charity basketball game when Cameron was dating Justin Timberlake.

This time, Cameron and Madden were engaged within months.

And in January 2015, they tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the actress’ mansion in Beverly Hills, California.

The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Raddix Madden, via surrogate on December 30, 2019.

Cameron spoke about motherhood while appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, describing it as “heaven.”
