Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Cameron Diaz spent 10-year career break 'trying to stay alive like every other mother'
Caption: Cameron Diaz spent 10-year career break 'trying to stay alive like every other mother’. The actress told Netflix how she stepped out of the spotlight and shunned all public events. ”I was not keeping up with any kind of training. I did nothing public. I said no to everything, other than for my wine.” The star founded wine label Avaline during her time away from the big screen. ”That was what I was putting most of my focus on. if I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day to day. That was pretty much it. I'm just trying to stay alive just like every other mother. I'm just trying to keep it going.” Cameron has been married to Benji Madden since 2015. The pair share two children, Raddix, five, and Cardinal, 10 months. In October, the star told how "It felt like the right thing for me to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn't care about anything else.” “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.” “I think it really comes to what are you passionate about? For me, it was to build my family.” Now starring in Netflix movie Back in Action with Jamie Foxx, she admitted it was the pull of her co-star that convinced her to get back in the acting saddle. ”I didn't think I was going to make another movie. I was perfectly happy, you know, just living my life doing other things. You know, like day in and day out, not movies. And then I get a phone call from Jamie Foxx.” “And how do you say no to Jamie Foxx when he says, 'Hey, I've got this big action comedy that we can just have so much fun on.' If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end, on set, having a ball, laughing with, it would be Jamie.” Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
