It has been several years since she last appeared in a film or on television, but for a long time, it was hard to go anywhere without seeing Cameron Diaz in some form or fashion. The former model, who came to prominence in the mid-90’s after appearing in “The Mask” alongside Jim Carrey, had a career that lasted for almost 30 years before she retired from acting permanently in 2014. She did make a rare public appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in 2020, alongside former “Charlie’s Angels” co-stars Lucy Liu and Drew Barrymore, but it is unlikely that she will regularly return to the spotlight.
In addition to being a former actress, model, producer, author, and activist, Cameron Diaz is also a watch collector and former Tag Heuer spokesperson. In 2013, she was the public face of the company’s Link Lady watches, which were intended to be viewed more as jewelry than traditional timepieces.
As a company that crafts high-quality custom rubber watch straps, Rubber B thought that it would only be fitting to look back at some of Cameron Diaz’s most memorable film roles – especially ones where timepieces were prominently featured.
What Are Some of Cameron Diaz’s Most Memorable Film Roles?
Knight and Day – 2010
One of the most anticipated films of the summer of 2010, “Knight and Day” saw Cameron Diaz play the role of June Havens, a woman who accidentally gets mixed up in a case of international espionage when she falls for a dashing spy played by Tom Cruise. In the film, she is seen wearing a stunning Rolex Submariner timepiece, which is featured fairly prominently throughout the movie.

The Mask – 1994
Cameron Diaz made her film debut in a very rare and hugely auspicious way – as the second lead in a film with Jim Carrey, at a time when he was arguably the biggest comedy star in the world. As nightclub singer Tine Carlyle, the then 22-year-old Diaz personified style and seductiveness and quite literally became an international star almost overnight. Her rise was fairly meteoric, and it is unlikely that we will see something like that happen again in Hollywood for quite some time.
There’s Something About Mary – 1998
If “The Mask” helped introduce Cameron Diaz to audiences around the world, “There’s Something About Mary” was the film that made certain we would never forget her. As a woman living in Miami with an unescapable allure to her, Diaz was featured in one of the most memorable raunchy comedy scenes of all time – one that was parodied ad infinitum and cemented her in the halls of cinematic history.
Being John Malkovich – 1999
This wonderfully quirky and offbeat film, which was the debut feature for both director Spike Jonze and screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, saw Diaz downplay her normally gorgeous appearance to play the homely wife of a puppeteer who discovers a portal into the mind of John Malkovich. The performance was unlike anything filmgoers had previously seen from her before, and today it is remembered as one of her bolder endeavors and a crucial part of a great film.
Gangs of New York – 2002
Like many an actor before her, Cameron Diaz gave one of her best performances under the direction of Martin Scorsese in his historical crime thriller, where she plays an Irish pickpocket who helps Leonardo DiCaprio take revenge on the man who killed his father in 1860’s New York. It is rare to see a period piece that is also a crime thriller, but this film managed to make those disparate genres work – and also allow Leonardo DiCaprio to relaunch his career as a serious actor in the process.
What Has Cameron Diaz Been Doing Since She Retired From Acting?
Though she no longer regularly appears in films, this does not mean Cameron Diaz has not been keeping busy with other ventures. She has written two books – the first, The Body Book: Feed, Move, Understand and Love Your Amazing Body, was released in 2013 and was a New York Times bestseller. The second, The Longevity Book: The Science of Aging, the Biology of Strength, and the Privilege of Time, was released in 2016.
Additionally, she started an organic wine brand in 2020 called Avaline with her business partner, Katherine Power. She currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband, musician Benjie Madden, and their daughter Raddix Madden.
