THEN AND NOW: The cast of 'Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle,' 20 years later

In "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle," the three private investigators, or Angels, were tasked with recovering three rings that can display the identities of people in the witness protection program.

Cameron Diaz played one of the three angels, Natalie Cook, a physicist, chemist, and computer wizard who is unaware that she is attractive.

At the time, Diaz was a huge name due to her roles in the first "Charlie's Angels" movie, "Shrek," and "There's Something About Mary."

Diaz continued to have a successful film career after "Charlie's Angels," starring in numerous "Shrek" sequels, comedies, and action movies

However, Diaz stepped away from acting in 2014 after starring in "Annie," and formally announced her retirement in 2018.

In 2020, Diaz addressed her retirement in an interview with Gwyneth Paltrow for her "In Goop Health" YouTube series.

"I got a peace in my soul. Because I finally was taking care of myself," Diaz said. "It's so intense to work at that level and be that public and put yourself out there. There's a lot of energy coming at you at all times when you're really visible as an actor and doing press and putting yourself out there. And I'm sensitive to energy — some energies, and not others."

Diaz said that she also wanted to focus on relationships. During her break from acting, the "Bad Teacher" star married Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden and the pair welcomed their first child Raddix in 2019.

However, last year, Jamie Foxx revealed that Diaz was unretiring to star in the Netflix movie "Back in Action."

Dylan Sanders, the wild and hotheaded Angel, was portrayed by Drew Barrymore.

Barrymore came from a long line of successful actors and already had a successful acting career having started as a child actor in films such as "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" and "Firestarter."

Barrymore was also a producer on both "Charlie's Angels" movies.

After "Charlie's Angels," Barrymore had a successful career in romantic comedies, appearing in "50 First Dates," "Music and Lyrics," and "He's Just Not That Into You."

She made her directorial debut with "Whip It" in 2009 and produced a "Charlie's Angels" reboot in 2019.

However, Barrymore is now known for her daytime talk show, "The Drew Barrymore Show," which she has been hosting since 2020. The show has been nominated for five Emmys and Barrymore has been praised for her hosting abilities.

Lucy Liu rounded out the lead cast as Alex Munday, a multilingual expert martial artist.

While Liu began her career in the early 1990s, her popularity rose in the late '90s after appearing in "Jerry Maguire" and "Ally McBeal."

After "Charlie's Angels," Liu went on to star in the renowned Quentin Tarantino duology, "Kill Bill."

Liu starred in numerous "Kung Fu Panda" movies as Viper and played Dr. Joan Watson in the CBS Sherlock Holmes series "Elementary."

In 2019, Liu received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Earlier this year, Liu played a villain in the DC superhero blockbuster "Shazam! Fury of the Gods."

Madison Lee (Demi Moore) was the main antagonist in the sequel, and was a former Angel who decided to strike out on her own. "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" helped restart Moore's career.

Moore has had several major roles since "Charlie's Angels" in movies such as "Margin Call" and "Corporate Animals."

In her personal life, Moore began dating Ashton Kutcher the same year "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" was released. The pair got married in 2005 but eventually separated and finalized their divorce in 2013.

Luke Wilson reprised his role as Natalie's boyfriend Peter Komisky in "Full Throttle."

At the time, Wilson was known for starring in comedies such as "Legally Blonde" and "Best Men."

Since "Charlie's Angels," Wilson has starred in "Zombieland 2: Double Tap," the DC series "Stargirl," and Netflix dramas "Look Both Ways" and "All The Bright Places."

Another antagonist for the Angels to worry about was Seamus O'Grady, a member of the Irish mob who turns out to be an ex-boyfriend of Dylan.

Dylan was played by Justin Theroux, who received his breakout role in David Lynch's "Mulholland Drive" two years prior to the release of "Full Throttle."

Theroux has starred in many films and TV shows since "Full Throttle," including "Bumblebee," "The Girl on the Train," and "The Leftovers."

The actor has also written and produced several movies including "Tropic Thunder," "Iron Man 2," and "Zoolander 2."

In May, Theroux was cast in "Beetlejuice 2" in an unnamed role.

Outside of acting, Theroux began dating Jennifer Aniston in 2011 and eventually married the "Friends" star in 2015. However, the pair got divorced in 2018.

Alex's boyfriend Jason also made an appearance in the sequel, played by Matt LeBlanc. Jason was portrayed as an actor famous for his highly successful "Maximum Extreme" movie franchise.

At the time, LeBlanc was still on his hit show, "Friends."

After "Friends," LeBlanc starred in his own spinoff focused on his character, Joey Tribbiani.

Following that LeBlanc starred in a few series such as "Episodes," "Man with the Plan," and "Top Gear."

In 2021, he reunited with his "Friends" costars for an HBO special. He hasn't appeared in a project since then and he told Entertainment Tonight in 2022 that he is taking a break from acting.

"I'm just enjoying not having to do anything — it's been kinda nice. Sorry, I'll let you know when I do," LeBlanc said.

The Thin Man is another character who appeared in the first "Charlie's Angels." After seemingly dying in the first movie, the assassin returned to protect Dylan.

Crispin Glover plays the creepy character in both movies. Glover made his name playing George McFly in the "Back To The Future" movies.

Since "Charlie's Angels," Glover has played the villain Mr. World in "American Gods." He also recently starred in Guillermo del Toro's Netflix series, "Cabinet of Curiosities."

While in the first movie, the Angels were helped out by John Bosley (Bill Murray), the sequel introduced Jimmy Bosley (Bernie Mac) as John's adoptive brother who helped the Angels instead.

At the time, Mac was a famous comedian. He had his own show, "The Bernie Mac Show," and starred in "Ocean's Eleven."

Mac died in 2008 due to complications from pneumonia. Before his death, Mac had starred in the first "Transformers" movie alongside Shia LeBeouf and appeared in two "Ocean's Eleven" sequels. Mac's last film, "Old Dogs," was released a year after his death in 2009.

Shia LaBeouf played an orphan who is in the witness protection program because his parents testified against the Irish mob. In the movie, the Angels tried to protect Max (LeBeouf) from being assassinated.

At the time LaBeouf was a rising star after starring in the Disney Channel series "Even Stevens."

LeBeouf became a major star in the 2000s due to his roles in movies such as "Holes," "Transformers," and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

However, the actor has also been involved in controversy.

LaBeouf's ex-girlfriend FKA Twigs filed a lawsuit against the actor in 2020, claiming that emotional and physical abuse took place during their relationship.

The trial has been delayed until November 2023 due to the pair's work schedule, according to court documents viewed by Insider.

Despite the controversy, LeBeouf has continued acting and is set to appear in director Francis Ford Coppola's next movie, "Megalopolis."

LeBeouf is married to "Pearl" actor Mia Goth. Despite marrying in 2016, the pair split in 2018 but reunited in 2021. The pair share a 1-year-old daughter, Isabel.
