Cameron Diaz returns to acting after a nine-year break. She will star in "Back in Action" with Jamie Foxx, which is a real treat for the actress's fans. Will Diaz disappear again after this film?
Cameron Diaz decided to return to Hollywood after almost a decade away. Her latest film, "Back in Action," will debut on Netflix this Friday, January 17th. Diaz will once again star alongside Jamie Foxx, with whom she previously appeared in "Any Given Sunday" and "Annie." Only Foxx could convince Diaz to appear on a film set one more time.
Return to acting
Diaz explained that an offer from Foxx influenced her decision to return. "I thought that if I was going to come back and do a movie, the only person I'd come back and do it with would be this guy," she said in an interview with Empire magazine. In recent years, the actress has focused on family life.
In the new movie, Diaz and Foxx play former CIA agents whose identities are exposed. The cast also includes Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, and Andrew Scott. The director is Seth Gordon, who previously collaborated with Foxx on "Horrible Bosses."
When discussing her future career plans, Cameron Diaz shared that she prefers not to set strict limits for herself, remaining open to opportunities that align with her and her family's needs. While she has not ruled out taking on new projects, she emphasized that her family remains her top priority. She explained that she is not definitively stepping away from acting after her current film, nor is she committing to a full return to the industry, choosing instead to make decisions as circumstances unfold. However, she noted that romantic comedies no longer hold a place in her heart.
The film "Back in Action" will be on Netflix starting January 17th. This much-anticipated return of Cameron Diaz to the screen will surely capture the attention of fans worldwide. A new number one on the platform is predicted.
Cameron Diaz explained in a previous interview that she needed time to focus on herself and reclaim her life, prioritizing personal well-being over opinions, success, or opportunities. This decision led her to step away from acting in films and television. During this period, she started a family with her husband, Benji Madden, a musician from the band Good Charlotte, and they are now raising their two children, Raddix and Cardinal. Diaz had previously appeared in notable films such as The Box, Sex Tape, The Other Woman, The Holiday, Vanilla Sky, and the iconic Charlie's Angels.
