Cameron Tells Why I Left Hollywood

How Stepping Away From Tinseltown Gave the Star a Happier Life

Cameron Diaz reached a level of success in Hollywood most people can only dream of. For two decades, she was one of the industry’s highest paid actresses – then suddenly, at the pinnacle of her career, she walked away from it all in favour of a low-key life in Beverly Hills with husband Benji Madden. Since her retirement – her last gig was in 2014’s Annie – the former star has been ‘very happy away from acting,’ a source reveals, noting that Cameron, 46, is ‘very fulfilled in her life’ with the Good Charlotte rocker, 40.

Cameron and Benji – who wed in 2015 – have also tried for a baby, sources say, but it hasn’t happened for them yet.
