Mom Duty

The actress dished about why she has no plans to return to the limelight in an interview with SiriusXM’s Bruce Bozzi on February 18, 2021. However, she didn’t rule out the possibility in the future.

“I’m never going to say never about anything in life,” Cameron said. “I’m just not that person. So will I ever make a movie again? I’m not looking to. But will I? I don’t know. I have no idea.”

The box office bombshell said she “couldn’t imagine” being away from her daughter that long. “To have to be on a movie set that takes 14 hours, 16 hours of my day away from my child. I just couldn’t,” Cameron added. “I wouldn’t have been the mom that I am now had I chosen to do that at any other time in my life.”
