Cameron Diaz Explains Why Stepping Away From Acting In 2014 Was “Something I Had To Do”


As the actress prepares to make her onscreen return in 'Back in Action', Cameron Diaz is opening up about her decade-long hiatus.

The 4x Golden Globe nominee recently explained why she took an extensive break from Hollywood following her last role as Miss Hannigan in the 2014 Will Gluck-helmed update of Annie. 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 Seth Gordon-helmed action comedy stars Diaz and Jamie Foxx as Emily and Matt, two seemingly average parents who are dragged back into their former lives as skilled secret agents.
