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!

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