Loose tracksuit, no makeup, and unkempt hair. An ordinary mom spends time with her lively daughter. The Hollywood star announced she now wants to dedicate herself to her family, and she wasn't lying. But she made an exception for one actor.

The American actress debuted on screens three decades ago. Her premiere in 1994 in the popular comedy "The Mask" alongside Jim Carrey, marking the beginning of her rise to fame. Although she appeared in many productions, fans mostly associate her with roles such as one of "Charlie's Angels," Julie Gianni in "Vanilla Sky," or Amanda in "The Holiday." In 2014, the actress paused her career to dedicate herself to her family.

One of the last movies she appeared in before taking a break was Annie, directed by Will Gluck. In it, she acted alongside Jamie Foxx. The story was about a young girl from a foster family who unexpectedly comes under the care of a wealthy mayoral candidate. As reported by gossip media at the time, Foxx's behavior allegedly contributed to Diaz's decision to end her career.

The actress loudly denied these rumors, emphasizing that Jamie was a great partner on set and that her decision had a completely different source.

friends on set and beyond

- A lot of people don’t know this, but after Cameron and I did Any Given Sunday and Annie together, we became friends in real life – and I’ve been begging her to come play with me again. We all know there’s just something about her… - confessed Jamie Foxx. Now his dream is coming true after a decade because, in November, a film with a significant title will premiere on Netflix: "Back in Action."

"Back in Action." what will the movie be about?

We know nothing about the plot. Emily (Cameron Diaz) and Matt (Jamie Foxx) return to the world of spies many years after giving up their jobs as CIA agents and starting a family when their identities are revealed. As you can see, it's not a groundbreaking idea, and viewers will get another version of something they've seen dozens of times but with new faces.

The new life of Cameron Diaz

Years ago, the actress announced she wanted to focus on her family; these weren't empty words. Although she returned to work (we're talking about one project for now) and will probably show up at a few premieres, you won't find her on red carpets or at industry banquets daily.

In 2015, Cameron Diaz married Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden. In 2019, they became parents to a girl named Raddix. This March, they surprised everyone by announcing they welcomed a son named Cardinal. Diaz just turned 51, so it's suspected that the parents used the help of a surrogate.

Nowadays, the actress devotes her days to her family. When paparazzi catch her on the street, she is most often in the company of her husband and daughter. Like recently, when she was chasing after her little one. No makeup under her glasses and comfortable clothing, it would be hard to recognize the Hollywood diva in her. She looks like all the other moms at the playground. Are you excited for her return to film?
