For 20 straight years, Cameron Diaz has been a Hollywood staple.
From her debut in 1994’s The Mask to her most recent appearance in 2014’s Annie Diaz appeared in at least one movie a year. But despite her decades of success, the 52-year-old recently revealed that the best years of her life came after she left movies behind.
In the form of The Graham Norton Show While promoting her return to the big screen after a decade of ‘retirement’, the ‘Charlie’s Angel’ star said stepping back from her showbiz career was the best decision she could have made.
“I loved it. It was the best 10 years of my life,” Diaz said. “I was just free to be (like) ‘I’m a mom, I’m a wife, I’m living my life.’
She said that when she first started retiring, she would still get offers for roles. But after constantly shutting them down, “people stopped asking.”
“It was so cute,” she said. Diaz spent her time From acting to raising children, writing a book and starting a wine company.
Diaz, who received reported $45 million From Netflix to starring in two movies, said returning to acting after 10 years made sense for his family. Additionally, the “Shrek” actor said she wants to embrace the privilege of being behind in movies.
“I just thought to myself … if I don’t do it again and give it a chance and be a part of it and be grateful for it, I’d be a fool,” she said.
Still, Diaz doesn’t promise another 20-year run of movies. Her upcoming projects are currently scheduled for 2025 and 2026.
“This might be the beginning, maybe I’m on tiptoe. Maybe I’ll go Gun Ho. I don’t know,” she said. “But it’s here, and I’m very grateful for it.”
