Cameron Diaz Pleasantly Surprised By Differences In Hollywood, Reveals Netflix Has Anonymous Hotline To Report Issues

Cameron Diaz's last film role before Back in Action was Annie in 2014. Recently, the actress remarked how much the industry had changed for the better. She revealed that she had to put up inappropriate behaviour from men on film sets and keep quiet. Now, there are policies in place where women can speak up if they feel uncomfortable or harassed at work. Diaz also shared that Netflix has an anonymous hotline to report issues.

The actress, who reunites with Jamie Foxx on the action comedy Back in Action, shared that she was shocked how much films sets had changed in her decade-long absence. Speaking on Netflix's SkipIntro podcast, Cameron shared that the industry was much different now.

She stated, “I definitely have to say that #MeToo changed everything. It’s palpable. You walk onto the set and it is different. It wasn’t just like the higher-ups [back then]. There was always just that one guy on set, that you were like, ‘God, here he comes again.’ There were always layers and layers of inappropriateness that you just kind of had to put up with. As women, you just had to like [laugh it off]. Some people you have to be forceful with and put up the boundaries, and others you can’t give them the time of day.”

About the new rules in place to safeguard women, Diaz added, "I have never in my entire career had HR come in prior to a movie and talk about what is appropriate and what is inappropriate behavior. And there’s a hotline, which Netflix has, to call anonymously to report any issues that you might be feeling. Wow, that is amazing. The level of security of safety you feel as a woman now on set is. … I never felt that before this film.”

Back in Action is the number one English film title on Netflix's global streaming charts for the past three weeks. It has already become the most viewed film on the platform with over 111 million views and counting.
