Hollywood, Europe Brief News – Cameron Diaz declared intention to return to acting for her first role in 8 years.
Netflix revealed today that Cameron Diaz is returning to the acting game in the upcoming feature Back in Action for the streaming service.
According to Netflix, it was her co-star in that movie musical remake — Jamie Foxx — that convinced her to come out of retirement for another collaboration.
The Oscar-winning Ray star had the receipts to back that claim up, posting the audio from his conversation with Diaz about how to properly make an “I’m un-retired” announcement. “I feel excited, but I don’t know how to do this,” the actress admits in the recording.
Foxx then brings in a ringer to walk her through the process: frequently un-retired football legend, Tom Brady.
“I was talking to Jamie and he said you need a few tips on how to un-retire,” Brady says. “I’m relatively successful at un-retiring.” Diaz clearly appreciates the expert advice. “Honestly, exactly what I needed,” she says laughing.
Diaz officially announced her retirement from acting in 2018 after her friend, Selma Blair, accidentally broke the news in an interview with the U.K.’s Daily Star Sunday.
She elaborated on her decision in a 2021 interview with Kevin Hart on his Peacock series, Hart to Hart.
