With several accolades under her belt, many assumed the "Sex Tape" star would dominate the industry for years. However, the blonde beauty's reign came to an end in 2014.

Naturally, her decision broke fans' hearts, but the mother-of-one traded fame for something better. During Kevin Hart's "Hart To Heart" show, the BAFTA Award winner confessed that her retirement was necessary.

According to "The Mask" star, she had prioritized acting over several other aspects of her life as she couldn't manage them with the demands of her career. 

However, the entertainer was finally able to find contentment once she gained control of her affairs. In Diaz's words, "I just really wanted to make my life manageable by me."

While celebrating the 20th anniversary of the movie "Vanilla Sky," Crowe told sources that the movie wouldn't have been a success without the former actress's charming persona.
