It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Cameron Diaz hit our screens, but it looks like the Hollywood star is actually coming out of retirement and returning to acting for the upcoming Netflix film “Back in Action.”
After retiring from acting in 2018, the actress is back and will be starring opposite Jamie Foxx in an upcoming action-comedy. The Netflix project will reunite Diaz and Foxx, who have already worked together on “Any Given Sunday” as well as 2014’s “Annie” remake, which was Diaz’s final film role before officially “retiring.” Foxx revealed the news via Twitter when he shared an audio clip of his phone conversation with Diaz herself.
