Cameron Diaz's children have changed her "whole perspective" on life.

The 52-year-old actress - who has Raddix, five, and Cardinal, ten months, with husband Benji Madden - has admitted that her kids have changed her entire "understanding" of life.

The Hollywood star told E! News: "You're a different person after you have children, after marriage, after building a life. Everything changes, your whole perspective, your whole world, your understanding of it.

"For me, I never made a movie before with a family. So, all of the boxes change that need to be checked off. That's the most important, and then everything else has to line up to support that."

Cameron recently ended her acting hiatus to star alongside Jamie Foxx in 'Back in Action', the new Netflix movie, and the actress has confessed to now having a "different perspective on life".

She said: "As an actor, it's completely different having taken ten years and lived a life that I wasn't living when I was an actor. There's a lot more happening in my world that allows me a different perspective on life, period."

Cameron is one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, despite her lengthy hiatus. And the actress actually feels honoured that she's still being offered so many coveted roles, after taking an extended break from the movie business.

She said: "To be able to have the privilege to come back after ten years and even have this as an option to me, to be able to make a movie at this level and to entertain people again, I always have seen it as a privilege. I feel really lucky to do it. So, it was really fun to be able to say yes to it."
