“Back in Action” marks Cameron Diaz’s first acting role in more than 10 years, after starring in 2014’s remake of “Annie.” So, why did she come back? And more importantly, why did she quit acting?
It’s easy to assume some scandal happened, but in reality, there’s no indication of that. It seems Diaz just wanted to focus on other aspects of life.
In a 2021 interview with Entertainment Weekly, Diaz’s “Charlie’s Angels” co-star Drew Barrymore explained that “both of us, we’ve been doing this our whole lives and we love what we get to do, and sometimes it’s fun to just shift gears and bring something else to the forefront, and it’s still awesome.”
