Cameron Diaz on Her Return to Acting: "No More Rom-Coms, Only Mom-Coms"
Cameron Diaz recently opened up about her return to acting and why she probably won't take on any more rom-coms—instead, she's more interested in mom-coms.

Cameron Diaz's latest project couldn't be more aptly named—she really is back. This year, Diaz stars in Back In Action, a spy comedy in which she and Jamie Foxx play two retired spies forced back into the game. Like her character, Diaz has found herself returning to work after taking a decade-long hiatus from acting. But while Diaz may be "back," she isn't planning on returning to the same old projects.
In a recent interview with Empire, the Holiday and Something About Mary actress explained that her rom-com days may be over for good. “No more rom-coms," she said, stating her one rule for her return. "Only mom-coms."

In fact, Diaz isn't entirely sure she's ready to announce her comeback at all. “If I say it, then it becomes this thing," she said. "I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and I reserve the right to say yes if I decide to. I’m not defining anything. I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.” In other words, Back in Action may mark the beginning of a new acting era for Diaz, or it could be the last film she ever makes. (Quick, someone write a mom-com for Diaz!)
Diaz rose to fame in the '90s with roles in The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, There's Something About Mary, and Charlie's Angels. By the early 2000s, she'd earned the title of rom-com leading lady with roles in The Holiday, What Happens in Vegas, and The Other Woman.
However, in 2014, she starred in her last project, Annie. “It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life," she told Fortune of her decision, adding, "No one's offer... could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have."

Since then, she has been focusing on raising her children, Raddix, 5, and 10-month-old Cardinal. "That was what I was putting most of my focus on," Diaz said in an interview for Netflix. "If I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day-to-day."

As Diaz explained during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Back in Action was the first film that made her even consider making a return.
"I had 10 years of not paying attention to anything; not accepting any advances, and then I got this script and thought that maybe it was time," Diaz said. "If I was going to leave my family for 10 hours a day I wanted to do it with the most talented man in the entertainment business."
She added, "I thought, ‘If I let this go away, if I don’t engage again, and if I don’t give it a chance, I am a fool.’ It might be the beginning of something, but it's here now and I am grateful for it.”
