Cameron Diaz Prioritizes Motherhood and She’s Ready to Kiss ’Hollywood Drama’ Goodbye

Cameron Diaz, the beloved actress who retired from acting in 2014, recently surprised her fans by returning to the big screen after nearly a decade. However, despite her love for acting, Diaz has stated that her role as a mother takes priority over her Hollywood fame. As a result, it is likely that she will retire again, and this time, for good.

Jamie Foxx persuades Diaz to return to the acting scene despite her official retirement.

After Cameron Diaz announced her retirement from acting in 2018, it seemed unlikely that she would return to Hollywood. However, her friend Jamie Foxx was able to coax her back into acting, and the 2 will be starring together in the upcoming action comedy film, Back In Action.

Foxx’s Twitter announcement of Cameron’s return in June 2022 went viral, with many fans excited to see the beloved actress back on the big screen. In the tweet, Foxx referred to Cameron as a “GOAT” or “Greatest Of All Time” and enlisted the help of NFL star Tom Brady to give her some tips on “un-retiring.” Diaz shared a screenshot of the voice call to her Instagram story, expressing her excitement about the upcoming movie.

Her comeback met with challenges.

Cameron Diaz may not make a proper comeback in Hollywood anytime soon, as she is facing challenges balancing work and family life. After completing her role in the Netflix action comedy, she may take a hiatus from acting to be with her husband, Benji Madden, and their young daughter, Raddix.

Moreover, the production of the upcoming movie has encountered multiple problems, like a reported on-set outburst by Jamie Foxx, which led to the termination of several crew members. These issues may impact the release and reception of the film.

Eventually, Diaz will set her priorities.

According to a close friend of the 50-year-old actress, Cameron Diaz is not facing any issues with Jamie Foxx, but it has been challenging for her to maintain a work-life balance. In addition, the actress is known to avoid drama and confrontation, which are often prevalent on film sets.

The source further revealed that Diaz has been struggling with the demanding workload, and she intends to prioritize her role as a mother to her daughter Raddix. The source shared that the actress finds the back-to-back, 10-hour workdays exhausting and hates being away from her daughter.

“She hates drama and confrontation,” the source further revealed. That was one of the reasons the actress retired from the industry. Having accomplished everything she wanted in her career, Diaz doesn’t feel the need to prove anything to anyone. After leaving Hollywood, she wanted to focus on spending more quality time with her husband and has been private about their lives as parents to their only daughter.

How her husband feels about it.

Although Benji has been supportive of Cameron’s decision to return to acting, the insider revealed that it has been challenging for him to manage their family time during her shooting schedule. Despite Cameron’s ability to visit her family during filming, it’s not the same as being together all the time, and the separation has been difficult for them.
