Cameron Diaz (Charlie’s Angels) is coming out of retirement for a Netflix film titled Back in Action, in which she’ll star opposite Jamie Foxx (Day Shift).
The storyline for the action-comedy is being kept under wraps, but Seth Gordon (Horrible Bosses) is directing from a scriupt he wrote with Brendan O’Brien’s (Neighbors). Beau Bauman (Central Intelligence) is producing for Good One Productions alongside Gordon for Exhibit A, with Foxx, Datari Turner, O’Brien and Mark McNair exec producing.
Foxx teased the new project this morning on Twitter via an audio clip of a phone conversation with Diaz, who confesses that she’s “so excited” yet “anxious” about getting back into acting. Says Diaz, “I don’t know how to do this, you know?”
Subsequently brought onto the line to offer her “a few tips on how to un-retire” is Tom Brady — the NFL icon Foxx refers to as “the GOAT,” who announced his retirement after 22 seasons in February, backtracking on that decision a little over a month later.
“Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT,” Foxx captioned the post. “@CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION – our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starting later this year!!”
Diaz officially confirmed her retirement from acting in 2018, having last appeared on the feature side in Will Gluck’s adaptation of the musical Annie for Sony. The beloved four-time Golden Globe nominee is best known for her turns in such films as Bad Teacher, Knight and Day, the Shrek and Charlie’s Angels franchises, My Sister’s Keeper, What Happens in Vegas, The Holiday, Gangs of New York, Vanilla Sky, Any Given Sunday, Being John Malkovich and There’s Something About Mary, among many others. Whether she’ll be back to acting consistently on the heels of Back in Action is not yet clear.
Foxx won an Oscar in 2005 for Ray, landing a second nom the same year for Collateral. The decorated actor was recently seen in Spider-Man: No Way Home and will next appear in films including J.J. Perry’s fantasy pic Day Shift, Juel Taylor’s They Cloned Tyrone, Josh Greenbaum’s Strays, Maggie Betts’ The Burial, Nick Cassavetes’ God Is a Bullet, the comedy All-Star Weekend which he’s directing, and Brad Furman’s action pic Tin Soldier, among other projects.

Loving the low-key life. Cameron Diaz “was already set on” stepping away from the spotlight, but the transition has been seamless with the help of husband Benji Madden.
“He definitely supported and helped her with the prices,” a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly, noting that the Good Charlotte performer, 43, “had her back” and “agreed” with the actress’ decision. “[It was] something that was clearly vital for Cameron’s soul.”
The Golden Globe nominee, 49, referred to herself as being “semi-retired” in March 2018 and has since been candid about her choice to take a break from the Hollywood scene. “I just looked around and there were so many parts of my life that I wasn’t touching and that I wasn’t managing, and I couldn’t really manage, because everything was so massive,” she recalled during an August 2021 appearance onHart to Heart.
Despite her acting sabbatical, the Sweetest Thing star “still stays really busy,” per the source. Diaz and Madden “live a great life” and have their “hands full” with daughter Raddix, who they welcomed in 2019. “It’s been a really fun journey doing something she loves and building up her brand,” the insider says, adding that Diaz has been hard at work on her Avaline wine business and other ventures. “Plus, she and Benji make time for date nights and trips away as often as they can.”
The couple, who wed in 2015, also “spend a ton of time” with Benji’s twin brother, Joel Madden, and his wife, Nicole Richie. “[They’re] over at the house all the time,” the source tells Us.
Diaz is “so happy and grateful” to soak up her downtime at home, which often includes cooking, gardening, decorating and other housework, the insider reveals. “[She] tries not to rely on nannies all that much. … There’s not a day that goes by that she doesn’t thank her lucky stars for being in this position.”
While she enjoys her time away from the cameras, the Holiday actress has continually gushed over Benji’s support. During a recent interview on “Michelle Visage’s Rule Breakers” podcast, the California native opened up about the lessons she’s learned from the rock star.
“He’s really taught me to value myself a lot more,” she said on the March 8 episode. “I didn’t [expect it] because I think that I was receiving so much validation elsewhere and in all these other ways. With our marriage, I learned how to really go all in. You know what I mean? Like, completely — nothing else comes before this.”
Diaz called her relationship “the most valuable thing I have,” adding, “We know that no matter what we can just go and be just a family anywhere and we’re fine. We don’t need any of the things that we have, other than each other.”
The couple are “fortunate and blessed” — and happier than ever — the source tells Us. “She made the right choice to put work-life balance first instead of chasing stardom and filming movies all over the country.”

Three’s (not) a crowd! Cameron Diaz, Taraji P. Henson and Jimmy Kimmelare the latest celebrities to appear on Kevin Hart’s Peacock talk show, Hart to Heart, ET can exclusively reveal.
Their respective episodes will drop Thursday, Aug. 12.
Hart to Heart is an “unplanned, unscripted, unfiltered” talk show where A-listers open up to Hart over a glass of wine in his wine cellar for a no-holds-barred hourlong conversation of “insight, truth, enlightenment and of course, some humor.”
The series premiered last week with Hart’s first guests Miley Cyrus, Kelly Clarkson and Don Cheadle.

Her last major film role was way back in 2014 for the remake of the musical Annie.
But Cameron Diaz was focused on other things on Tuesday, when she was seen holding baby daughter Raddix in her arms as she made her way to the car in Beverly Hills, California.
The Mask actress, 48, was summery in a black maxi sundress with thin straps.
The long flowing dress hung from the elastic bust in soft ruffles all the way down to Cameron’s ankles.
She wore light-colored Birkenstock-style sandals, and had a pair of red sunglasses on. Her blonde hair was pulled back into a messy ponytail with strands hanging down around her face.
Diaz sported three small hoops in her left ear, and had a maroon woven tote bag hanging from one elbow.
She held one-and-a-half-year-old Raddix, whom she shares with her husband Benji Madden, in her other arm.
The mother-daughter pair were apparently leaving a private home after attending a swim class for the little girl.
Since leaving a career in front of the camera behind, the Being John Malkovich star has largely focused her time and energy on Avaline, a vegan and organic wine label she launched with her friend and partner Katherine Power.
Cameron is also focused on family life, after marrying Benji, lead guitarist and backing vocalist of band Good Charlotte, in 2015.
The pair went on to welcome baby Raddix on December 30th
It’s been 6 years since the “Charlie’s Angels” actress made a movie and Cameron tells why she’s choosing her family over Hollywood.
