Return to acting
Diaz explained that the decision to return was connected to an offer from Foxx. "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. The actress has focused on family life in recent years.
In the new movie, Diaz and Foxx play former CIA agents whose identities are exposed. Kyle Chandler, Glenn Close, and Andrew Scott also join the cast. Seth Gordon, who previously collaborated with Foxx on Horrible Bosses, directed the film.
When discussing her future career plans, Diaz shared that she prefers to remain open to opportunities that align with her and her family's needs. While she has not ruled out future projects, she emphasized that her family remains her top priority. She explained that she is not definitively stepping away from acting after her current movie but is also not committing to a full return to regular work in the industry, opting to make decisions as they come. However, she also mentioned that she no longer feels drawn to taking on romantic comedies.
The film "Back in Action" will be available on Netflix starting January 17th at midnight Eastern Time. It is a long-awaited return of Cameron Diaz to the screen, which will surely capture the attention of fans worldwide. A new number 1 on the platform is guaranteed.
Cameron Diaz explained in a past interview that she needed time to reclaim her life, prioritizing her well-being over external opinions, success, or opportunities. This decision led her to step away from acting in films and television to focus on creating the life she truly desired. During this period, she started a family with her husband, Benji Madden, a musician from Good Charlotte, and together they are raising their two children, Raddix and Cardinal. Diaz had previously starred in notable productions such as The Box, Sex Tape, The Other Woman, The Holiday, Vanilla Sky, and the iconic Charlie's Angels.
