CAMERON’S ICONIC MOVIES

The actress has made quite an impact on the film scene with her roles in The Mask, The Holiday, The Other Woman and My Sister’s Keeper, to name a few.

Her role in The Holiday even gave us all the motive to find a home swap during the Christmas season and secure ourselves a Jude Law.

Cameron is now about to come to the big screen once again with her new role in Back to Action, a you guessed it – action film.

It will be her first movie back in 10 years, and some comments were made to Netflix on why it will be her ‘reappearance.’

Cameron and Benji took to Instagram at the time, saying; “Happy New Year from the Maddens! We are so happy, blessed, and grateful to begin this new decade by announcing the birth of our daughter, Raddix Madden. She has instantly captured our hearts and completed our family.”

During an interview in 2020 with Jimmy Fallon for The Tonight Show, Cameron commented, “Literally every single day, there’s just leaps and bounds and these things that happen. She’s not the same baby that she was yesterday.”

“Where was yesterday? Yesterday is literally gone, and today is a new day, and tomorrow will be a new day that she’s a completely different baby. But, it’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it.”

In March 2024, the couple welcomed their second child, Cardinal Madden.
