Cameron Diaz sees motherhood as her 'main role' in life

Cameron Diaz sees motherhood as her "main role" in life.

The 52-year-old actress recently made her long-awaited return to the movie industry by starring alongside Jamie Foxx in 'Back in Action' - but Cameron admits that motherhood has totally changed her outlook on life and her career.

The movie star - who has Raddix, five, and Cardinal, ten months, with husband Benji Madden - told Hello! magazine: "It does feel different now, for sure!

"I have a family now and that comes first. Being a mom is my main role now; everything else comes second. So, yeah, it is different - in a good way."

Cameron also feels she's benefited from her time away from the film industry.

She explained: "I feel as though it gave me a chance to get back in touch with myself and the things that matter to me.

"When you're making movies, you're completely consumed by the work. Taking a break meant I got to be there for my family, and I got to reclaim myself - for myself and nobody else."
