“I’ve found my peace without Hollywood,” Cameron Diaz exclaimed loudly just a few years ago. But the magic of Netflix made her change her mind: the actress, who retired from the scene in 2018, is returning to acting for a film on the platform. In short, on the eve of his 50th birthday he changes his mind and for good reason it’s back in action. It’s a halfway action/comedy project starring Oscar winner Jamie Foxx.

Cameron Diaz, the difficulty of finding work
The star has had a stellar career, now worth £120million after hitting Hollywood hits like Tutti Pazzi per Mary, Charlie’s Angels, The Holiday and Shrek, but his story was very different in the 1990s. Cameron was a penniless model and struggled to succeed. “I started working as a catalog model and had enough money to move to Paris and rent an apartment that I shared with a girl who is still one of my best friends. But I’ve been there a whole year and I haven’t worked a day.” A very difficult time for Diaz, reporting The Sun.

The shocking revelation
“I didn’t have the money to survive. Then I got a job, but I really think I was a courier transporting drugs to Morocco – I swear to God. ‘ The shocking revelation is peppered with details. “It was the early ’90s and they gave me a locked suitcase with my stage costumes in it, I had to go and do a job in fashion.” But when she landed and was ordered by officers to reveal the contents of her car, Cameron panicked. “I was a blonde girl with blue eyes in Morocco. I wore ripped jeans and wedge boots, with my hair loose: I was really scared ». He replied shakily, “I don’t know, he’s not mine, I have no idea who he is.” It was only when she was stopped by a customs officer at a North African airport that Cameron realized she had been tricked into unknowingly smuggling an illegal shipment. “That was the only job I found in Paris.”
How he reacted
Cameron dropped her suitcase – left it with the airport officer – and managed to return to Paris. She never really knew what was in that bag, but thinking about it, she realized she was probably dealing with illegal substances. Drug traffickers might be jailed for a decade in Morocco, but Cameron fared well and a few weeks later she was cast in the film The Mask, which would introduce her.
How was the star Diaz born?
Producers had handpicked ailing model and actress Anna Nicole Smith, who died in 2007 at the age of 39, to play Tina Carlyle in the 1994 hit. But when director Chuck Russell saw Cameron on camera, he insisted he wanted her and claimed it was the perfect contrast for comedian Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss, aka The Mask.
family comes first
She had said goodbye to Hollywood but is now back in the film business after announcing this week that she will be starring alongside Jamie Foxx in a new Netflix comedy aptly named Back In Action. But he keeps saying that the most important part of his life is motherhood. He told the Kelly Clarkson Show: “I love it. . . it’s the best thing i’ve ever done. I guess since I’m an elderly parent and worked hard to have a child it’s a different matter. I’m lucky enough to be able to devote some time to myself, but it’s also a challenge.” And her choice is clear: to be with her family more, particularly her daughter Raddix from her marriage to musician Benji Madden.
