Real reason why Cameron Diaz took acting break
She was last seen in the 2014 Will Gluck directorial Annie.
She said, "For me, it was just something I had to do."
She added, "It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life. And I just really didn't care about anything else. I didn't. Nobody's opinion, nobody's success, no one's offer, no one's anything could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have. So, I think it really comes to: What are you passionate about? For me, it was to build my family."
Diaz married Benji Madden in 2015 and they share a daughter and son. She has written several books on health including The Body Book (2013) and The Longevity Book (2016).
During a discussion at the Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, the actor shared she felt that it is necessary to take a break from something that "feeds my soul," adding, "Whatever it is, that's the thing you feel in your soul that speaks to you and you feel peace in it, you're gonna figure it out."
She will be seen in Back in Action, which will be released on January 17 on Netflix.
Diaz is also set to reprise her role as the voice of Princess Fiona in Shrek 5, premiering on July 1, 2026.

Australian actor Julian McMahon dies, aged 56
Ammon News - Australian actor Julian McMahon, known for his roles in television series "Charmed" and "Nip/Tuck", has died in the United States from cancer at the age of 56. His wife, Kelly, announced his death Friday in a statement to the website Deadline. Born in Sydney in 1968, McMahon initially worked as a model before moving to acting in television, first in Australia and later in the United States. He made a name for himself playing Cole Turner, a demon in the fantasy television series "Charmed", which ran from 2000 to 2005. "I'm heartbroken," series co-star Alyssa Milano wrote on Instagram after he died in Florida. "Losing him feels unreal. Too soon. Too unfair. Rest, my friend. I'll carry your laugh with me," she added. McMahon was nominated for an Emmy in 2005 for "Nip/Tuck" (2003-2010), another hit US series, in which he played an unscrupulous plastic surgeon. Producers Warner Bros. Television released a brief statement on Facebook paying tribute to his work on the series. McMahon also appeared in a number of films, playing villain Doctor Doom in two films from the Fantastic Four superhero franchise. More recently, he appeared alongside Nicolas Cage in "The Surfer", presented at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.

Charlize Theron, 49, brags about sex with 26-year-old
ALBAWABA - Charlize Theron shocks fans with raunchy sex talk at 49. Megyn Kelly blasted Charlize Theron as 'vulgar' and classless for sharing her perspective on sex and being a single woman on episode of 'Call Her Daddy' The conservative host of "The Megyn Kelly Show" questioned why Theron ever consented to appear on the well-known podcast hosted by Alex Cooper at the start of Thursday's broadcast. The actress is now on a promotional tour for "The Old Guard 2," her upcoming Netflix film. US-South African actress and producer Charlize Theron (Photo by VALERIE MACON / AFP) "Somehow, she chose to embark on a podcast tour," Kelly remarked. "She had a conversation about their love of abortions with 'Call Her Daddy,' the sex podcaster who interviewed Kamala Harris." She scolded the actress for attempting to project an air of being a "super cool girl." On the 'Call Her Daddy' episode, Theron was asked to give her best sex advice, and the actress responded candidly, saying, 'I am the last person to ask [for sex tips]. I'm sounding very cocky here, but I think it's because I've found this freedom in my 40s where I'm like, 'Oh my god.' Just for perspective, I've probably had three one-night stands in my entire life. But I did just recently f—k a 26-year-old, and it was really amazing. I've never done that. And I was like, 'Oh, this is great.' Women should be the ones that are like, 'F–k you, I'm going to have an orgasm.'' Kelly expressed shock and pointed out the irony of her criticism of Theron, who played her in the 2019 film "Bombshell." She further pointed out that since she was expressing her viewpoint in a clear and concise manner, she could not be sued for defamation for doing so. Kelly remarked, "It seems like she's compensating for something, but maybe she's just boring and stays at home on Friday nights." At 49, she is attempting to sound 26. " It's strange. Act like she's one of our biggest stars. Be classy. It is evident that Kelly objected to the podcast's candid discussion of sex, calling it "vulgar" and "inappropriate." In addition, she attacked Theron for her remarks regarding being a single mother and the part males played in her life. "Seeing one of our most well-known actresses sit cross-legged with a sex podcaster and discuss orgasms and who they slept with is odd," she remarked. It's unsettling. Then, even when it comes to raising children, she emphasizes once more how little she needs a man in her life. Ironically, Theron discussed the terrible criticism older women and single mothers receive when they don't have men in their lives on the "Call Her Daddy" episode. It is assumed that there must be a problem with the woman, according to the actress from "Mad Max: Fury Road." Theron went on to say that having a child by herself gave her a great sense of independence. Regarding the actress' remarks, Kelly criticized her for using such profanity and stated, "That's just affectation." She's attempting to project an image of a cool, independent young woman. The absence of a father in the photo makes her proud. Fantastic. Well done. Although people are free to choose, I don't want our biggest performers to act in this way. Even if she is on the other side of the political spectrum from us, Julia Roberts never acts in this manner. The entire "The Megyn Kelly Show" segment is available to listen to in the video above.
