Where Is Cameron Diaz? And 39 Other Questions About The Retired Actress

Here’s everything you’ve wanted to ask about Cameron Diaz. - by Rhys McKay

Where Is Cameron Diaz? And 39 Other Questions About The Retired Actress

As the Charlie’s Angels reboot hits the cinemas, we’re feeling a little nostalgic for the original franchise and the original cast. While Drew Barrymore made her acting comeback as a zombified real estate agent in Netflix’s Santa Clarita Diet and Lucy Liu has been making headlines for her art, we haven’t heard much about Cameron Diaz in recent years. Casual fans might be shocked to discover that this is probably because she retired from acting back in 2017.

But that doesn’t mean Cam hasn’t been busy. As a health advocate, she’s written two books on the subject and has recently invested in health-focused companies, from a microbiome startup to an acupuncture company! 

Curious to know more about this surprisingly versatile former actress? Read on for some fast facts about Cameron Diaz!

RELATED: Why Cameron Diaz REALLY Quit Hollywood

Is Cameron Diaz Alive?

Absolutely! She currently resides in Beverly Hills with her husband, Benji Madden. (Yes, the lead guitarist of Good Charlotte!)

What Is Cameron Diaz's Real Name?

Cameron’s full name is Cameron Michelle Diaz. 

How Old Is Cameron Diaz?

Cameron Diaz was born on August 30, 1972, making her 47 years of age. 

Who Are Cameron Diaz's Parents?

Her parents are Emilio Diaz and Billie Early.

Cameron Diaz’s height is 5’8” or 1.74 metres.

How Much Does Cameron Diaz Weigh? What Is Cameron Diaz's Diet?

You won’t find Cam’s specific weight online. She takes good care of herself by sticking to a Mediterranean diet, which focuses on whole grains, whole fats, and produce. 

What Is Cameron Diaz's Net Worth?

Her estimated net worth as of 2019 is $USD140 Million. 

Where Does Cameron Diaz Live?

As mentioned above, Cam has a house in Beverly Hills, California.

What Religion Is Cameron Diaz?

Cameron hasn’t spoken much about her faith, so we can only surmise that she could be Catholic, seeing as she is of Cuban descent. She did appear in a panel discussion for the launch of the documentary The Unbelievers, which focuses on atheism, scepticism, and their importance in today’s society. According to Scientific American, at the discussion, she spoke about a relationship with “her god” and her belief that science and religion can coexist. 

Where Did Cameron Diaz Go To School?

In high school, Cam was classmates with Snoop Dogg at Long Beach Polytechnic School.

Does Cameron Diaz Have Any Siblings?

Yes, she has one older sister named Chimene.

Who Has Cameron Diaz Dated In The Past? 

Before marrying her musician husband Benji, Cameron was linked to a string of celebrity hotties. She dated Justin Timberlake for four years before calling it quits in 2007, was rumoured to have a brief fling with magician Criss Angel, and had an on-again-off-again relationship with baseball player Alex Rodriguez. 

Is Cameron Diaz Married? When Did Cameron Diaz Get Married?

These days, Cam is happily married to Benji Madden of Good Charlotte fame. Benji became Cam’s boyfriend after he was introduced to her by his brother’s wife, Nicole Richie. Only months after they got together, the two quickly got engaged in 2014, then had a private wedding the following year – January 5, 2015, to be exact.

The super-secret ceremony was just as lowkey as their relationship, which Cam says she prefers. 

Does Cameron Diaz Have Any Kids?

Cameron once stated that she was perfectly fine with not having any kids. “It’s so much more work to have children. To have lives besides your own that you are responsible for – I didn’t take that on”, she told Esquire in 2014. “I like protecting people, but I was never drawn to being a mother. I have it much easier than any of them. That’s just what it is. Doesn’t mean life isn’t sometimes hard. I’m just what I am. I work on what I am. Right now, I think, things are good for me. I’ve done a lot. And I don’t care anymore”.

However, a September 2019 report by US Today speculated that Cam may be pregnant with her first baby, and has been consulting with her girlfriends for first-time mum tips. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that it’s true and that she gets a daughter! Can you imagine a little Cameron? Adorbs!

Has Cameron Diaz Ever Been Divorced?

Nope!

What Films Has Cameron Diaz Been In? And Which Of The Movies In This List Made Cam An A-Lister?

Cameron was a huge star in the ‘90s and early aughts, having first appeared in The Mask as blonde babe Tina Carlyle. Though it was her first movie, she quickly caught the attention of Hollywood with her beauty and goofball charm. She then starred as the object of Julia Roberts’ envy in the extremely ‘90s rom-com My Best Friend’s Wedding and as Ben Stiller’s elusive love interest in There’s Something About Mary.

Hi.. so this happened.. 💗

She became a household name in 1999 when she appeared in the dizzying masterpiece Being John Malkovich. After that, she starred in several other critically acclaimed and box office hit films, like Vanilla Sky (starring opposite Tom Cruise), Shrek (as the voice of princess/ogre Fiona), Charlie’s Angels, and Gangs of New York. 

As one of Hollywood’s rom-com queens, she made appearances in films like Christmas movie The Holiday (where she cosied up to hottie Jude Law), parenthood comedy What to Expect When You’re Expecting (alongside a star-studded cast including Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, and Elizabeth Banks), and romantic comedy What Happens In Vegas (where she grows to hate and love the adorable Ashton Kutcher).

Before throwing in the towel in 2014, Cam’s final four films were The Counselor (starring Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, and Penelope Cruz), The Other Woman (starring Leslie Mann and Kate Upton), Sex Tape (starring Jason Segel), and Annie (Jamie Foxx, Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, and Cameron Diaz).

What Awards Has Cameron Diaz Won?

Cam has been nominated for 16 MTV Movie Awards, four Golden Globes, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, one BAFTA, and one Critics’ Choice Award. Of her 16 MTV Awards nominations, she won three, including Best Female Performance for There’s Something About Mary and Best Dance Sequence and Best On-Screen Team for Charlie’s Angels.

Has Cameron Diaz Written Any Books?

Yes, she has written two books on health – New York Times Bestseller The Body Book: Feed, Move, Understand and Love Your Amazing Body and The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time.

Who Is Cameron Diaz's Agent?

It’s uncertain if Cam still has an agent, seeing as she retired from acting a couple years back!

Was Cameron Diaz A Victoria's Secret Model?

No, but she was a model when she was young, appearing in ads for brands like Levi’s and Calvin Klein by the age of 16. 

By 19, she did model some lingerie, but it wasn’t for Victoria’s Secret or some other bikini brand. She posed bra-less for an Italian magazine, but the photos never made it to print. When Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle was set to premiere in 2003, the photographer attempted to blackmail Diaz by offering to sell her the photos and videos for $USD3.5 million. He said he that if she wouldn’t buy them, he would offer them to whoever else was interested.

Cam, not one to back down from some misogynistic extortion, sued the photographer and got him locked up for three years. 

Has Cameron Diaz Released Any Music?

Cam isn’t much of a singer. In fact, she was really nervous about singing on Annie despite having some musical training prior to recording. “I don't have command of this instrument”, she admitted to Seth Meyers while also confessing that the experience made her cry! Aww. We feel for you, Cameron. 

Despite that, we think she still did a decent job on Annie. You can check out her vocal talents on the Original Motion Picture Soundtrack of Annie.

Does Cameron Diaz Have A Dog?

Yes, Cameron has more than one fur baby! She’s been seen walking a beautiful German Shepherd on more than one occasion and has posted a precious photo of her #chillaxing with her pom.

Does Cameron Diaz Ride A Motorcycle?

While we haven’t heard of Cam taking casual motorcycle rides in her free time, we do know that she and Tom Cruise did their own motorcycle stunts while filming the action film Knight & Day.

Does Cameron Diaz Have Her Own Perfume?

Not that we know of! Another fun fact about Cam: She doesn’t wear deodorant. “I don’t believe in antiperspirant”, she told E! News. “I haven’t used it for almost 20 years”.

Does Cameron Diaz Smoke?

Surprisingly, this health nut used to be a smoker. Prior to quitting in 2000, she told In Touch Weekly that she used to smoke 20 sticks a day!

What Is Cameron Diaz's Most Famous Quote?

As an author, it’s no surprise that Cam has dropped a few powerful words of wisdom over the years. Here are some Cameron Diaz quotes that inspire us:

“I believe in fate and what's meant to be mine will be mine, and if it's not in my lap, then it's not mine”.

“What drives me is what I'm putting out into the world, and I like to make films that people can connect to, or they can escape in”.

“Your regrets aren't what you did, but what you didn't do. So I take every opportunity”.

“Comparison is a brutal assault upon one's self. Once you compare yourself to someone else, what you're really saying is that what you're made of isn't good enough”.

What Is Cameron Diaz's Best Red Carpet Look?

Cameron Diaz has always been one of those stars who seems to be able to pull off sexy without putting much effort in. She’s rocked a lot of en vogue looks, these are just three of our faves:

Does Cameron Diaz Suffer From Acne? What Is Cameron Diaz Skin Care Routine?

Cam admitted that she had acne in her teens and all the way up to her 20s when she was starting out as a model and actress. She attributed her acne to her diet, which then comprised mostly of burgers and burritos.

A candid Instagram post by her BFF Drew Barrymore showed the two doing anti-aging, anti-acne, and hydrating face masks by Beekeeper's Naturals. Drew says it tastes good too!

Does Cameron Diaz Have A Tattoo?

We haven’t spotted any real tattoos on Cam but she did sport some sexy neck and back tattoos in The Counselor. Her husband, Benji, on the other hand, is covered head to toe! He’s even got a massive tattoo of his wife’s name on his chest. Now that’s commitment.

Hello Ladies! Happy Fall! Hope everyone is enjoying this glorious time of year; the chillier air, the changing and falling leaves; all of the markers of another year coming to a close, and a hint at the new one about to unfold. I first wanted to thank all of you who answered our call this past summer to send in any questions you might have about aging in a female body. I am so grateful for your participation, as it allowed us to address your inquries in the next volume of the @TheBodyBook. It is centered around the mental, physical and emotional journey of aging. And as we diligently put the finishing touches on the book, we'd like to ask for your help once more. This book is for you and about you and that's why we'd like to see you on the cover. Much like the cover of the Body Book, under the jacket, were we featured women of all different shapes, sizes, builds and ethnicities. We would like for you to feel represented again, this time to show where you are in your process of aging. So we invite you to take a picture of yourself. It should look much like the one I have here; against a plain background, this general framing-you can crop closer to a portrait, and the higher-def the better! We'd like to see more of that beautiful face of yours than the body this time. And if you want to snap one with yourself and your mom and your daughter together, or any multiple generations or expressions of your journey with aging, we'd love to see those, too! And for the 50 we use on the actual cover, we'll send you a signed copy of the book when it hits bookstores in April. So be yourself with it, be brave with it, have fun with it, and we can't wait to see. Thank you again and Happy Selfie-ing!! Ox, Cameron To submit, click the link in my profile.

And peep this before and after pic.
