Ngayong buwan, tila nagpahapyaw si Selma Blair nang sabihin niyang “done” na ang kanyang kaibigan sa pag-arte. Pagkatapos nito, naging usap-usapan na ang kanyang pahayag, ngunit dinepensahan naman ito ni Blair sa pagsasabing taken out of context siya.
Ngunit mukhang totoo ang naturang “joke,” dahil kinumpirma na ni Diaz na magreretiro na nga siya.
Nagsama-sama sina Blair, Diaz, at Christina Applegate, na matatandaan nagbida sa The Sweetest Thing noong 2002, para kapanayamin ng Entertainment Weekly. Tinanong sila kung mula nang matapos ang filming ay nagkita-kita pa sila.
Wolfgang, binuburaot ng Ivory, Vicor Music?
“No!” sabi Applegate.
“God**** it, why not?” tanong naman ni Diaz.
“I don’t know. You guys tell me. I see Selma,” sabi naman ni Applegate.
“Our kids are friends. Cameron?” ani Blair.
“Maybe I should, you know, I mean, I’m down. I’m literally doing nothing,” lahad naman ni Cameron.
“I’m literally doing nothing, too! I’m semi-retired, I haven’t worked for years. I’m a mom; that’s what we do. So I’m around, man,” sagot naman ni Applegate.
“That’s so awesome,” balik sagot ni Cameron. “I’m totally down. I’m semi-retired, too, and I am actually retired, so I would love to see you ladies.”
Apat na taon nang walang ginagawang pelikula si Cameron Diaz; ang kanyang huling pelikula ay noong 2014 pa, ang Annie. Nang taong ding iyon ay nagbida siya sa The Other Woman and Sex Tape. Siya ang isa sa highest-grossing actresses of all time, at minsang nang sumingil ng $15 million kada pelikula. Bagamat hindi siya nakakuha ng Oscar, siya ay four-time Golden Globe nominee.
Simula nang maganap ang kanyang surprise wedding noong 2015 kay Benji Madden, napansin na unti-unti nang lumayo sa Hollywood ang aktres. Makaraan ang dalawang dekadang pagtatrabaho ng walang humpay, sinabi niyang magreretiro na siya.
“I just went, ‘I can’t really say who I am to myself.’ Which is a hard thing to face up to,” paliwanag niya sa Goop summit ni Gwyneth Paltrow noong nakaraang summer. “I felt the need to make myself whole.”
Ikinasal sa edad na 41, dagdag pa niya: “I think it’s a matter of I just hadn’t met my husband, you know? I had boyfriends before. And there’s a really, really distinct difference between husbands and boyfriends. And I have a husband who is just my partner in life and in everything. Talk about two very different people! We are so different from one another, but we share the same values — we’re totally two peas in a pod. We are both just weird enough for each other.”
“We women are objectified so much,” aniya. “Somehow, my husband has just been able to kind of show me what it’s like not to have that be a part of a relationship and being an equal… I never experienced that before. I’d never been loved in that way. I look at him every day and he inspires me — he works so hard. I feel so lucky.”
Ngunit may isang paraan para hindi ituloy ni Diaz ang kanyang pagreretiro: isang sequel ng The Sweetest Thing. Binanggit ni Applegate na siya ay “(will) come out of a retirement” para dito.
