Cameron Diaz is still having to remind people that she's retired from acting. She publicly made the announcement in early 2018 after a long period of inactivity, but she says she's regularly stopped in the street by people asking her where she's been. Hopefully, plenty of people will read this so she gets hassled less! Diaz was the perfect sweet and kooky leading lad of the late 90s and 00s, making us laugh in 'There's Something About Mary' but also showing her more serious acting skills in ''Gangs of New York.'
Over time, her interest in writing overtook her interest in performing, and that persuaded her to stop stepping in front of the cameras and start writing full time instead. She has a particular interest in physical and mental health, and has written self-help guides with catchy titles like 'The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time.'
