In 2014, 52-year-old Diaz left Hollywood to concentrate on starting a family with husband Benji Madden.
At an appearance at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit, the actress stated, “It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn’t care about anything else,” according to News.
“I made the decision to take care of myself and create the life I truly desired, and nothing—not even someone else’s perspective, success, offer, or anything else—could make me change my mind. It truly boils down to what you are enthusiastic about, in my opinion. It was for me to start a family.
Diaz and Jamie Foxx made their acting comebacks for Netflix’s “Back in Action.” The movie was postponed until January 2025 because of the health scare in 2023.
After starring in “Annie” and “Any Given Sunday,” she acknowledged that she “couldn’t say no” to news for what would turn out to be their third production together.
