Why has Cameron Diaz disappeared from Hollywood?

The actor was last seen in 2014's 'Annie'

Where has Cameron Diaz been?

The Hollywood beauty last appeared in the 2014 musical Annie, co-starring Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Jamie Foxx and Quvenzhané Wallis, reported Eonline. And while Diaz is one of the most popular (and highest-paid) stars in the film industry, two decades of non-stop travel from film set to film set eventually got too much for her. "I just went, 'I can't really say who I am to myself.' Which is a hard thing to face up to," she said recently. "I felt the need to make myself whole."



Much to the dismay of her fans, Diaz has not announced any new projects for 2017 so far. She appeared on a panel Tory Burch, Miranda Kerr and Nicole Richie and Gwyneth Paltrow on Saturday. Towards the end of the discussion, the Charlie’s Angels star was asked, "What was it that kept you from getting married until you were 40?"



“I think it's a matter of I just hadn't met my husband [Good Charlotte's guitarist and singer Benji Madden], you know?” Diaz politely responded. "I had boyfriends before. And there's a really, really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends. And I have a husband who is just my partner in life and in everything. Talk about two very different people! We are so different from one another, but we share the same values — we're totally two peas in a pod. We are both just weird enough for each other."



Diaz went on to shed more light on the husband and wife dynamic. "We women are objectified so much," she said. "Somehow, my husband has just been able to kind of show me what it's like not to have that be a part of a relationship and being an equal."

 

Richie happens to be Diaz’s sister in-law as she married Benji’s brother seven years ago. The fashion designer called the Maddens "a very close family," telling the panelists, "They rely on each other. When we got together it was like, you're just in the family. It's a large support system."



Diaz added that her husband of two years supports her in ways she never imagined possible. "I never experienced that before. I'd never been loved in that way," said the Other Woman star, whose famous exes include Jared Leto, Alex Rodriguez and Justin Timberlake, just to name a few. "I look at him every day and he inspires me — he works so hard. I feel so lucky!"
