Cameron Diaz has said she found “peace” in her “soul” after walking away from her Hollywood career two years ago.
Diaz is well known for her roles in films like There’s Something About Mary, Charlie’s Angels and Shrek.
But the last movie appearance of her 20-year career came in the 2014 adaptation of Annie.
“I got a peace in my soul, because I finally was taking care of myself,” Diaz told Gwyneth Paltrow, on the fellow actress’s health podcast.
“It’s a strange thing to say, I know a lot of people won’t understand it, I know you understand it, but it’s so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there,” added the 47-year-old.

“There’s a lot of energy coming at you at all times when you’re really visible as an actor and doing press and putting yourself out there.”
Diaz confirmed her retirement from acting in 2018, but has previously stated that she will not rule out a return one day.
