Cameron Diaz opens up on why she quit films

The Other Woman, Bad Teacher and Charlie’s Angels star Cameron Diaz has finally opened up about the reason that made her quit acting. Diaz was last seen in Annia in 2014 and has not been spotted on the big screen ever since. She spoke her heart out to Hart about calling it a day in the film industry.

Talking about her decision, Diaz added that acting was taking up a majority of her time. She said because of the amount of time invested in acting, she was finding it quite difficult in managing other areas of her life. The actor mentioned that when one does something at a high level for long periods, the other parts have to be handed over to other people. She went on to explain that she realised how even around the age of 40, there are still many parts of her that were not ‘touching’ and ‘managing’.

However, the star also mentioned that she absolutely loves acting but wants to add more simplicity to her life. On the talk show, she said that acting was ‘fun’ but she just wants to make her life manageable and to get a proper routine in a day in her life.

What Happens in Vegas star believes that the people who are surrounding a person play a major role in keeping things moving and that the people who used to manage her once did not always have the best interest at heart. In the talk show, she mentioned, “Me as a human being, not me as Cameron Diaz, because Cameron Diaz is a machine, but for my personal, spiritual self, I was realising that it's kind of like that one part of me that was functioning at a high level wasn’t enough.”
