Why Hollywood Doesn’t Cast Cameron Diaz Anymore

There’s perhaps one genre Diaz is most well known for.

She starred in some of the most popular and successful romantic comedies of the late nineties and early noughties, like the raunchy-yet-heartwarming hit, The Sweetest Thing, in 2002.

But Diaz cleverly managed to avoid being typecast in her early career.

For every slightly cheesy rom-com role that she took on, she also did something a little more unexpected and was often handsomely rewarded for it. One such venture was 2003’s Gangs of New York, for which she earned a Golden Globe nomination.
