Cameron Diaz Announces Huge Career Change Following Her New Movie Release

Cameron Diaz has been in the news lately, first for her eagerly awaited comeback to the movie business after more than a decade hiatus. The actress, who had established herself as a prominent sex symbol in the late 1990s and early 2000s with starring roles in a string of romantic comedies, stepped away from the spotlight to focus on other things, only to make a comeback in the Netflix comedy-action film, Back in Action.

While fans are still relishing her return to the silver screen, the 52-year-old is not wasting any time in sharing her future plans. Diaz recently revealed a significant career shift that will probably lead her in an entirely different direction.
