Cameron Diaz is indeed back in action

17 Oct - After leaving Hollywood in the early 2010s, Cameron Diaz revealed that she just thought it was time for her to return when she made the decision to make her acting comeback.

Speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit on 14 October, the actress, who makes her comeback with the Jamie Foxx-starrer, "Back in Action", stated, "It was just the right time for my family. After Covid, we were in the house for a long time, which was amazing and the problem was we would probably stay there, we would still be there right now. People would be like, 'It's over' and I'd be like, 'No it's not, it's not over for me"."

"So I had to push myself; my husband and I... my husband, who is the best, he was like, 'You've been supporting us and building the family' and supporting him in his businesses, he's like, 'It's time for us to support you and let Mummy ascend and do her thing.' He's like, 'Let me see you do it girl.' I was like, 'Alright, here we go.'"

The actress makes acting comeback with Netflix's "Back in Action"

At the same time, Diaz said that she just wasn't able to say no to Foxx, who asked her personally to join him in the Netflix project.

"It's our third film together, so it's really great," she said.

It is noted that Diaz and Foxx previously worked in 2019 movie, "Any Given Sunday" and 2014 movie, "Annie", which previously marked Diaz's last film before she decided to step away from the limelight.
