Cameron Diaz is gearing up for her comeback to the screen after a 10-year hiatus — and six years after she reportedly retired from acting.
It has been noted that Diaz is featured in the upcoming Netflix action-comedy “Back in Action” opposite Jamie Foxx.
It is the same project Foxx was working prior to being hospitalized last April after a “medical complication” that kept him sidelined for several months.
It was noted that Foxx was replaced by Nick Cannon on the game show “Beat Shazam,” which Foxx hosted with his daughter, Corinne. He also had to drop out of hosting another Fox game show, “We Are Family” with Corinne. They were replaced by Anthony Anderson and his mother, Doris Bowman.
In December, Diaz addressed some of the rumors surrounding the film, including that she wanted to quit acting after the “Ray” star had a meltdown on set.
“I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” she said on the latest episode of Molly Sims’ “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast. “You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’
“Jamie is the best,” she added. “I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person and he’s so talented, so much fun … the hiccups that happened throughout production are the natural kinds of things that happen.”
Foxx made his first public appearance since his malady in December when he walked onstage, unassisted, at the Critics Choice Association’s Celebration of Cinema and Television: Honoring Black, Latino and AAPI Achievements.
