Cameron Diaz Doesn’t Miss Acting
Cameron Diaz is loving her quiet life.
She started her acting career with 1994’s The Mask, but hasn’t appeared on screen since the 2014 remake of the musical Annie. Now 46, Diaz explained her recent retreat from the public eye in a new interview for InStyle‘s special 25th anniversary issue.
“I started [experiencing fame] when I was 22, so 25 years ago — that’s a long time,” Diaz said. “The way I look at it is that I’ve given more than half of my life to the public. I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world. If I decide to. I don’t miss performing.”
Still, Diaz isn’t totally ruling out a return to the big screen — she’s just focusing on other callings.
“Right now I’m looking at the landscape of wellness and all that. But whatever I do, it has to be something I’m passionate about — something that just feels effortless,” she said.
She’s also spending plenty of quality time with husband Benji Madden, 40, whom she married in Jan. 2015. They are rarely seen out together because she loves not having anyone know what she’s up to.
“I just want to build better, stronger friendships with the people who are in it with me. Of course, that includes my husband,” she said. “Getting married to him was the best thing that ever happened to me. My husband’s the best. He’s the greatest human being, and he’s my great partner.”
She did tease some potential new projects.
“I like creating, so I’m just looking for the project that makes the most sense for me now,” she said. “I have some things brewing, but it’s a little too early to talk about them.”
