Cameron Diaz is ‘selective’ about how she makes her return to acting after taking a break for family

Cameron Diaz has given us some memorable roles over the years with films like The Mask and The Sweetest Thing.

But the four-time Golden Globe nominee and new mom has taken a break from acting getting married in 2015.

While she might be ready to grace the big screen once again in the near future, Diaz is being very particular about how she makes her return to acting.

The 47-year-old ‘is enjoying her time away from the action, and spending it with her husband and baby Raddix,’ a source told ET. 

The insider added: ‘Cameron worked consistently for almost 20 years and needed a break. 

‘Cameron loves being a mother and that is her main focus now. Cameron plans to be selective in any projects she considers for the future, but for now it’s all about family.’

She last starred alongside Jamie Foxx and Rose Byrne in the 2014 feature adaptation of Annie.

Diaz wrote in August for a personal essay in InStyle: ‘The way I look at it is that I’ve given more than half of my life to the public. 

‘I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world. If I decide to. I don’t miss performing.’

She added: ‘Whatever I do, it has to be something I’m passionate about — something that just feels effortless.’

The Bad Teacher star has since welcomed her first child, a daughter named Raddix, in December with husband Benji Madden, whom she married in 2015.

She made her big screen debut in 1994 with The Mask, and she’s since starred in films like There’s Something About Mary, Vanilla Sky and The Other Woman. 

Diaz recently reunited with her Charlie’s Angels co-star Drew Barrymore for the star-studded virtual Boss B**** Fight Challenge.
