Cameron Diaz Explains Why Nothing 'Could Change My Mind' About Retiring In 2018
HuffPost
The "Charlie's Angels" star last appeared on-screen in 2014 and, despite an impending comeback, explained Monday why quitting "felt like the right thing."
Cameron Diaz says leaving the business was “just something I had to do.”
The “Charlie’s Angels” star was still a bona fide A-lister when she retired in 2018. Now, with a decade behind her since she last appeared on-screen in 2014’s “Annie” adaptation, Diaz opened up about the decision to quit and her impending return to the spotlight.
“It was just something I had to do,” Diaz said Monday at Fortune’s “Most Powerful Women Summit” in Laguna Niguel, California. “It felt like the right thing for me, to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn’t care about anything else, I didn’t.”
“And nobody’s opinion, nobody’s success, no one’s offer, no one’s anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have,” the actor, who married Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden in 2015, continued.
After her breakout role in “The Mask” (1994) and a star-making turn in “There’s Something About Mary” (1998), Diaz was off to the races. She worked with directors as acclaimed as Oliver Stone and Martin Scorsese and superstars like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise.
