Nearly 20 years since the film's debut, the lives and careers of the 'Charlie's Angels' cast have undergone significant changes.
In 2003, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle - the second installment of the popular franchise Charlie's Angels was released worldwide, sparking a frenzy. This film has been a childhood memory for generations of audiences from the 80s, 90s until now. At that time, Cameron Diaz and the ensemble cast of this blockbuster became names of public interest and pursuit.
After over 20 years, they have changed significantly and not everyone has retained the former glamour. The looks, careers, and love lives of the cast of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle at present have surprised the public.
Cameron Diaz (portraying Natalie Cook)
Portraying the detective Alex in the film, Cameron Diaz was dubbed the 'action angel' with stunning action sequences, being the most prominent member among the 3 female leads. Following the success of the film, the actress's career expanded rapidly, quickly becoming an A-list Hollywood star throughout the 2000s. Cameron Diaz appeared in a series of blockbusters such as Vanilla Sky, Gangs Of New York, The Green Hornet, Bad Teacher... Particularly, Cameron Diaz was also one of the highest-paid actresses in the world in the early 2010s.
However, since wrapping up her last project in 2014, Cameron Diaz has gradually withdrawn from Hollywood. The actress has been absent from the big screen entirely, only making occasional appearances on television as a guest on talk shows. Moreover, she even declared her official retirement in 2018, feeling overwhelmed and exhausted by the 14-16 hour workdays.
Nowadays, Cameron Diaz is enjoying a blissful life with her young husband and their first daughter, Raddix Madden. Additionally, she has authored 2 books, ventured into organic wine business, invested in healthcare and biotech companies. Particularly, after 8 years of hiatus, Cameron Diaz has surprisingly been persuaded by her close friend Jamie Foxx to return in a new project titled Back To Action. Many fans still hold hope for her comeback to acting.
Following her retirement, she often appears in simple, casual outfits, no longer the glamorous beauty she once was. In fact, the actress often goes makeup-free, revealing visible signs of aging. Though Cameron's facial features remain captivating and sharp, the wrinkles have somewhat diminished her radiance.
Entering her 50s, the actress no longer maintains her youthful appearance but audiences feel that Cameron Diaz has aged gracefully. Thanks to her commitment to a healthy diet, she maintains a slim, healthy figure, and her cinematic face retains its impressive charm intact.
Drew Barrymore (portraying Dylan Sanders)
In Charlie's Angels, Drew Barrymore made a strong impression on audiences as she embodied the role of detective Dylan. In fact, compared to the other beauties, she stood out even more with her mesmerizing beauty and perfect features. The success of her role helped her become a popular name, continuously leaving her mark in projects like Donnie Darko, Music and Lyrics... Additionally, she also appeared in TV series like Santa Clarita Diet, Family Guy, 50 First Dates...
However, after Beverly Hills Chihuahua or He's Just Not That Into You, Drew Barrymore's popularity waned. The actress born in 1975 began to shift her career direction noticeably as her film appearances dwindled by the early 2010s. She transitioned to directing and producing films. Additionally, the actress also expanded into the beauty product business, launching cosmetics and fragrances under the brand Flower. Remarkably, the name Drew Barrymore still holds allure on talk shows and in the beauty industry.
While finding success in her career, Drew Barrymore faced turmoil in her love life. After breaking off engagements with actors Leland Hayward and Jamie Walters, she had a whirlwind marriage with Los Angeles bar owner Jeremy Thomas in 1994. In 2001, she wed her co-star from Charlie's Angels, actor Tom Green. However, this marriage also ended in divorce after only 5 months of living together. Most recently, she started a family with Will Kopelman - son of former Chanel CEO Arie L. Kopelman. They had 2 daughters together, but unfortunately, this marriage ended in divorce after just 5 years.
At nearly 50 years old, the actress's beauty bears the marks of time, although Drew was once considered one of the most beautiful women in the world. However, audiences still cannot forget the face associated with their childhood.
Lucy Liu (portraying Alex Munday)
With her distinct Asian features and impressive martial arts scenes in the film, Lucy Liu has garnered the love of millions of global audiences. Thanks to this, the Chinese-American beauty has found a solid footing in Hollywood after years of playing minor roles. Subsequently, the actress continued to achieve success leaving her mark in various projects like Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill series, Chicago, The Man With The Iron Fists... Liu found success in voice acting with blockbuster animated films such as Kung Fu Panda, Mulan II.
In 2012, she began directing some debut film projects but did not leave much of a mark. Lucy Liu also devotes time to her passion for painting. She organizes numerous visual art exhibitions under the pseudonym Yu Ling. Not only that, the actress is also very active in charity work, organizing charity art exhibitions, auctioning paintings, and donating a large portion of the proceeds.
Compared to other Hollywood beauties, Lucy Liu's appearance is somewhat modest. She was even publicly teased about her looks by actor Martin Freeman - her co-star in Sherlock Holmes. However, unlike Cameron and Drew, Lucy seems to defy time more challengingly, maintaining a surprisingly youthful appearance.
In matters of love, Lucy Liu is discreetly famous, keeping her romantic affairs private. She has been romantically linked with businessman Noam Gottesman, actor Will McCormack, George Clooney, and screenwriter-director Zach Helm. However, none of these relationships ended in a lasting commitment. In 2015, the Chinese-American beauty surprised everyone by announcing the birth of her adorable son, Rockwell Lloyd Li, through surrogacy. Her life now revolves peacefully around her son.
Demi Moore (portraying Madison Lee)
In Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, Demi Moore portrayed the former angel Madison Lee, a formidable antagonist. However, audiences couldn't bring themselves to hate this character as Demi brought a mesmerizing and stunning portrayal of Madison Lee. Nevertheless, after this film, Demi's career gradually declined, she experienced pay cuts and fewer acting offers. In fact, most of the projects she participated in failed to leave a mark in terms of acting or revenue.
For nearly a decade, Demi hasn't appeared in any films or TV shows. Instead, the Indecent Proposal star actively engages in the fashion industry, from walking the catwalk to participating in advertising campaigns. Additionally, she has developed a passion for writing, publishing the book Inside Out, which became a bestseller.
From the beginning of her career, Demi impressed with her beautiful face, delicate features, harmony, balanced figure, and captivating charisma. Particularly, her beauty once captivated the world in the 1990s. At 60 years old and a mother of 3, Demi Moore still maintains an astonishing figure.
The love life of the 1982-born beauty has been full of ups and downs with 3 failed marriages to rocker Freddy Moore, Hollywood leading man Bruce Willis, and a high-profile divorce with actor Ashton Kutcher. She once experienced emotional turmoil, plunging into instability due to her marriage with Ashton. Now, the actress has found stability again in life with her partner Daniel Humm and their 3 daughters Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout.
