Cameron Diaz Recalled Telephone Cameras Showing In 2003

She started her hiatus after starring within the 2014 hits The Different Lady, Intercourse Tape, and Annie — all of which I can’t imagine got here out ten years in the past.

Talking about her break from performing on The Graham Norton Present final week, she mentioned, “Oh my God, I beloved it. It was the very best ten years of my life. I used to be simply free to only say, ‘I’m a mother, I’m a spouse, I’m residing my life.’”

And the press tour for the brand new movie alongside her costar Jamie Foxx has been as healthful as we’d hoped, with the 2 speaking about every thing from their longstanding friendship to Cameron’s absolute domination of the early 2000s.

On Jan. 17, Cameron appeared on the Netflix podcast Skip Intro with Krista Smith to debate one such second, and the 2 talked about this iconic picture from the premiere of Charlie’s Angels 2: Full Throttle — which, I feel, must be featured in historical past books around the globe. If for nothing else however Drew Barrymore’s legendary butterfly tat.

And whereas we’ve got the paparazzi to thank for this shot, Cameron took a second to say the way it felt to be the topic of fixed pictures — and the way it all modified with the event of know-how within the early 2000s.

“I truly keep in mind as a result of it was Charlie’s Angels 2… our worldwide tour. We had been in Tokyo. It was in Roppongi, and the three of us walked out and there was like an entire wall of followers who had been ready for us. They knew we had been there,” she started.

“And so they’re all like… they’re holding one thing over their heads like this,” Cameron gestured, miming together with her arm up. “And we’re like… ‘What’s that? What are they doing?’”

“And the lady who was our host there mentioned, ‘They’re filming you… They’re taking photos of you,’” she continued. “And we’re like, ‘On what?’ and [the host] is like, ‘Their telephones!’”

Cameron continued whereas the interviewer’s mouth fell open. “The wind was knocked out of us, and we checked out one another. Drew, and Lucy [Liu] and I, we checked out one another and nearly began crying,” she defined. “It simply flooded us.”

Cameron recalled considering, “If all people has a digital camera on their telephone… And everybody has telephones… It’s over.” And for a star in 2003, that realization will need to have hit like a ton of bricks.
