At the battered old age of 45, Cameron Diaz has retired from acting – unofficially, anyway.

Because the news does not come from Diaz herself, but close friend and former Sweetest Thing co-star Selma Blair, who said in an interview with Metro that she’d recently had lunch with the actress.

In reference to another Sweetest Thing instalment, Blair said, “I would have liked to do a sequel, but Cameron’s retired from acting. She’s like, ‘I’m done.’”

“I mean, she doesn’t need to make any more films,” Blair added. “She has a pretty great life; I don’t know what it would take to bring her back. She’s happy.”

She also may have run her course. Diaz’s last two films were the 2014 flops Sex Tape and Annie.

Or she may just be taking the Gwyneth Paltrow lifestyle route, having written bestseller mouthfuls The Body Book: The Law of Hunger, the Science of Strength, and Other Ways to Love Your Amazing Body in 2013, and The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time in 2016.
