Cameron Diaz Returns to Acting with New Projects

Cameron Diaz, a Hollywood A-lister known for roles in films like 'The Mask' and 'Charlie’s Angels,' took a decade-long break from acting starting in 2014 to focus on personal life and family. She explained at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit that the decision was driven by a need to reclaim her life and build a family with her husband, Benji Madden. Despite a successful career, Diaz emphasized that no offer or opinion could sway her decision to prioritize her personal well-being and passions. However, she has returned to the screen, starring in the upcoming Netflix movie 'Back in Action' alongside Jamie Foxx, set for release in January 2025. Diaz is also involved in other projects, including the Apple TV+ film 'Outcome' and reprising her role in 'Shrek 5'. Her return marks a balance between her career and family life, supported by her husband during this transition.
