Here are some surprising facts you might not know about the Hollywood actress:
1. She isn’t afraid to speak about her faith and conservative values
If you follow the star on social media, you know she is not afraid to share posts about her faith and conservative values.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Cameron also talks about her faith in her book “Kind is the New Classy."
“Acting, writing, speaking, mothering – none of these are my primary purpose," she wrote. "They are the roles God has given me to live out my higher purpose of glorifying Him.
“If I looked to any one of those roles to give my life meaning, I’d struggle when things in that single area didn’t go well. But since I know my purpose is to bring God glory, I have freedom to live it out in every area of my life. I am even free to fail, because it’s possible to glorify God through my weaknesses.”

2. She is big into fitness
The busy star enjoys staying fit. At 42, Cameron makes health and fitness a priority.
“I realized how much better my mindset is and my attitude when I put some exercise in because there are endorphins that are released that chemically actually make you a happier person. So fitness has become really important to me because I feel better from the inside out,” she told Fox News.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“Even on days when I’m working very long hours, I can’t fit an hourlong workout in, but I can fit in several 10-minute mini workouts. It’s not going to give me the same results as putting in the time every day but it still makes a difference. So if I can get in 10 push-ups here and there, do a couple squats while I’m waiting in line for something, that’s what I do. It will help change your body and it motivates you to make more time to work on your health and fitness."
