Cameron Diaz was focused on "trying to stay alive just like every other mother" during her acting break.
The 52-year-old star has returned to Hollywood with her upcoming new Netflix movie 'Back In Action', and she has reflected on how she's been spending her time.
In a behind the scenes interview shared by the official 'Still Watching Netflix' YouTube channel, she said: "I was not keeping up with any kind of training. I did nothing public. I said no to everything.
"Other than my wine - I started my wine company, Avaline, that was what I was putting most of my focus on, if I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day to day.
“That was pretty much it. I’m just trying to stay alive just like every other mother. I’m just trying to keep it going.”
The 'Holiday' actress has kids Raddix, five, and nine-month-old Cardinal with her husband Benji Madden.
She recently praised the 45-year-old Good Charlotte rocker for encouraging her to get back to work, after she stepped away following the release of 2014 movie 'Annie'.
Speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women summit in October, she said of her comeback: “It was just the right time for my family. After Covid, we were in the house for a long time, which was amazing and the problem was we would probably stay there, we would still be there right now.
"People would be like, ‘It’s over’ and I’d be like, ‘No it’s not, it’s not over for me.'
“So I had to push myself; my husband and I — my husband, who is the best — he was like, ‘You’ve been supporting us and building the family’ and supporting him in his businesses, he’s like, ‘It’s time for us to support you and let Mommy ascend and do her thing.’
"He’s like, ‘Let me see you do it girl.’ I was like, ‘Alright, here we go.'"
