What Is Cameron Diaz Doing Now? ‘Just A Different Time In My Life,’ Actress Says

While fans have been waiting to see if Cameron Diaz will come back to the big screen since her unofficial retirement in 2014 that she officially announced in 2018, she assured her continued leave from acting in an interview on Tuesday.

The 48-year-old was interviewed by Yahoo! Finance Presents where she outlined what she’s been up to in recent years and her reasoning for not returning to her career, even though she was once the world’s highest-paid actress.

“...it's just a different time in my life now. Now I'm here and this is the most fulfilling thing that I've ever done in my life. [To] have a family and be married and have our little nucleus of a family. It's just completely the best thing," Diaz said, commenting on the 2020 arrival of her and husband Benji Madden's daughter Raddix.

"I don't have what it takes to give making a movie what it needs to be made," she added. "All of my energy is here."

Diaz’s absence occurred after she observed a friend of hers, a successful producer, focus more of her time on her family and home life instead of major films and shows.

"Her family started to evolve and I saw her go like, 'Oh, wait, I only have 100%,'" she explained. "You only have 100%, we don't have two 100%, we have 100%. Right? So you've got to break up that 100%...how much are you going to give to your family? How much are you going to give to your career?"

The “What Happens In Vegas” star's last film was the “Annie” reboot in 2014.

While there has been talk of her returning to acting and she appeared with Naomi Campbell on her YouTube series last fall, she’s in no rush to leave the life she’s living now, per Entertainment Tonight.

"There's no part of me that's like, 'I gotta get back in front of the camera' or anything like that. 'I gotta go act!' I don't feel that way," she told Campbell in October. "That's not to say I won't someday, but I'm very resolved in where I'm at right now."
