Los Angeles, Jan 22 (NationPress) Hollywood star Cameron Diaz has shared insights into her serene family life, expressing that she believes individuals become “different” after embracing parenthood.
The 52-year-old actress, who has recently returned from her hiatus in Hollywood, is a mother to two children with her 45-year-old spouse Benji Madden. They welcomed a daughter, Raddix, and a son, Cardinal, in 2024, according to femalefirst.co.uk.
At the premiere of her latest film ‘Back in Action’, she remarked: “You’re a different person after you have children, after marriage, after building a life.”
“I had never made a film before with my family. The dynamics shift, and after taking a decade off to live a life outside acting, my perspective has evolved significantly.”
Cameron previously shared in a behind-the-scenes discussion regarding her Netflix project, co-starring Jamie Foxx: “How do you say ‘No’ to Jamie Foxx?”
She added, “If there is anyone I’d return to spend months on set with for laughter and joy, it would be Jamie.”
During her break from acting, she mentioned she turned down every opportunity, including public engagements, to focus on her family.
She reflected on her tranquil lifestyle: “That was where my attention was directed.”
“I was merely a mom navigating daily life, trying to maintain balance like every other mother.”
She also contemplated how her children will perceive her as they mature: “A common fantasy among parents is that their kids might see them as they were before the responsibilities of parenting took over.”
“Children cannot perceive their parents in that light. Perhaps someday, they will accept the notion that ‘Yes, I was indeed pretty cool’.”
