We’ve all heard the rumors, and unfortunately, it looks like they’re true. Cameron Diaz, the Hollywood sweetheart, is set to retire from acting for good after her upcoming Netflix film, “Back in Action,” with the talented Jamie Foxx. While it’s disheartening for fans, we should respect Diaz’s decision to embark on a new chapter in her life.
Diaz has had an incredible career in Hollywood, earning her place as one of the most successful actresses in history. Her films have raked in a staggering $3 billion at the US box office, securing her spot as the fifth-highest-grossing actress of all time. Additionally, she’s received four Golden Globe nominations for her outstanding performances.
After appearing in three films in 2014, Diaz took a step back from the limelight and revealed that she wanted to focus on other aspects of her life. She married Benji Madden, a talented musician from Good Charlotte, in 2018. Together, they welcomed their beautiful daughter, Raddix, in 2019 via surrogate.
“I just decided that I wanted different things out of my life,” Diaz confessed during an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow. “Working in the film industry was such a grind. I had gone so hard for so long, but I didn’t make any space for my personal life.”
Moreover, Diaz shared how the demands of the industry felt suffocating. Making a movie meant surrendering herself entirely to it, leaving no time for anything else. “When you do something at a really high level for a really long period of time, there’s a lot that has to be handed off to other people,” Diaz explained.
So it was a delightful surprise when news broke that Diaz would be returning to the big screen alongside Jamie Foxx in “Back in Action.” Foxx apparently played a significant role in convincing Diaz to come back, but recent speculation suggests that this comeback may be a one-time occurrence.
Sources close to Diaz have revealed that the demanding shooting schedule of the film, combined with being away from her beloved daughter, has taken its toll on her. Diaz is a passionate and devoted mother, and being apart from Raddix has been challenging for her. As a result, she plans to retire from acting once her current commitments are fulfilled.
“Back in Action,” an action-comedy flick, is slated to release on Netflix in 2024. However, the film has encountered its fair share of troubles, including Foxx’s alleged temper tantrum on set, resulting in the firing of a producer, two directors, and even Foxx’s driver. Nevertheless, Diaz’s decision to retire remains separate from these issues.
Cameron Diaz is undeniably a remarkable actress, and it’s a shame to see her stepping away from the spotlight. But let’s keep our hopes high that she may make a comeback in the future.
