Jennifer Aniston has been part of the Hollywood A-list crowd since she made it big with the sitcom “Friends,” but Cameron Diaz’s comeback reportedly has her worried. The 56-year-old continued to win hearts over the years through her acting skills.
Naturally, she faced competition in bagging roles against many popular actors, including Diaz. According to a source, the rivalry is back since the “Charlie’s Angels” alum made her return to the entertainment industry after a decade.
Cameron Diaz’s comeback is making Hollywood insiders nervous, says source
Cameron Diaz’s acting career took a backseat in 2014, a year ahead of her getting married to Benji Madden. At the time, she announced her retirement as an actor. But now, her comeback after a decade has reportedly ruffled “a lot of feathers.”
“People are resentful and accusing her of gaming the system since she’s suddenly the new flavor in town all over again,” a source told RadarOnline. Other than the Hollywood insiders, Jennifer Aniston has also been “feeling the heat” of her return. The two, who were once friends, reportedly became rivals because they had to compete for the same roles.
Allegedly, the “Bad Teacher” star was the studio bosses’ “favorite” in the past. Hence, many of her peers see her comeback as “bad news.” According to the source, there have never been enough roles for female actors, especially in Aniston and Diaz’s “age bracket.” “Everyone’s worried she’s going to get all the plum roles,” they added.
Moreover, the actors have seemingly been old rivals and have a “lot of history between them.” “She [Aniston] and Cameron have always gone up for the same parts,” the insider informed. Only time will tell if the 52-year-old’s comeback will deepen their alleged rivalry.
Meanwhile, Diaz is all set to star in Netflix’s action-comedy, “Bad Day.” She made her comeback on the big screen in January with the movie “Back in Action,” alongside Jamie Foxx. Aniston, on the other hand, will soon return with a new season of the popular television series, “The Morning Show,” which also features Reese Witherspoon.
