#16: Cameron Diaz
Whilst it might sound weird to some, there are many celebrities who decide to retire younger than the average retiree due to the pressure and lifestyle of being a working celebrity. And whilst they might have enjoyed their time in the spotlight in the past, they had had enough of the glitz and glam.
Cameron Diaz was one of the original it-girls that everyone couldn’t get enough of in the 1990s and early 2000s. But after some time on the big screen, she decided to take time off acting because she felt like fame had infantilized her. Whereas before, she felt as though she was capable of living her own independent life.
