Withdrawn from the Hollywood landscape, Cameron Diaz has announced his return to our screens… But his latest appearance panics ageists.
Cameron Diaz unrecognizable? Internet users attack the star, “too old”
The rest after the ad
Cameron Diaz, retired?
We hardly see the star of The Mask and The Holiday anymore today. It's normal. She stepped away from the screens somewhat and became a businesswoman, a winemaker (yes) and the instigator of a vegan wine brand. But above all: she recovered from a huge burnout.
A fatigue which unfortunately has not gone away to soften given the remarks of some. Just recently, the actress made a rare public appearance at Women in Hollywood 2024, where she reunited with her Charlie's Angels co-star Demi Moore. But this somewhat aroused the ire of Internet users, questioning her about her physique, her age, her glamorous aura, constantly comparing her to Demi Moore… We breathe.
Cameron Diaz had to leave Hollywood for 10 years to treat his mental health, and we understand his fatigue when we see this collection of inappropriate reactions on social networks: “Isn't Cameron ten years younger than Demi…what happened to her?”, “She has Jack Nicholson's Joker smile”, “Those colors are not flattering. Wearing the wrong colors can make us look older“.
And it doesn't stop there…
“Stop talking shit about women’s appearance!!” : Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore are driving Internet users crazy
In this Testimony, Cameron Diaz looked back on his ten years of absence.
Finally back in January 2025 in the supposedly hectic Back in Action, with Oscar winner Jamie Foxx, she hopes to have come out of this (very) serious fatigue, even though the Hollywood industry never spares its stars. But kindness is not always there…
This is what all these remarks demonstrate, which readily speak of a very well-known phenomenon: ageism. Or the stigmatization and exclusion of women once they reach their forties. This takes many forms, in professional and personal life: we have dedicated a survey to this scourge. But also an angry mood post.
And more and more celebrities are talking about this publicly in the dream factory! Halle Berry talks about it, Kate Winslet too, through this very strong statement, without forgetting Demi Moore, of course, who tackles this “anti-old racism” with this super daring nude scene. Jamie Lee Curtis also recalled having suffered terrible remarks after posing topless at the age of 50 on this front page.
Obviously, this provokes a reaction.
“Oh my god, stop commenting on women's appearance…if they get touch-ups you say “oh my god, they're aging naturally!”. And then when they don't do any alterations, you continue to talk shit about their appearance…“, an Internet user takes offense to Cameron Diaz's detractors. Many celebrate in unison the naturalness of the 52-year-old American.
“She ages like an ordinary, happy woman. I will always love Cam!!, can we thus read “This is what a 52-year-old woman should look like, taking care of herself and embracing the aging process. Stunning”, “accepting her age and taking care of herself. A problem?“
QED.
