Cameron Diaz's Return to Hollywood

Cameron Diaz is embracing the ambiguity of her Hollywood return! After a decade-long hiatus, the beloved actress has made her comeback with Netflix's highly anticipated action-comedy Back in Action, and she’s not rushing to label this new chapter.

Candid Reflections on Reentry

In a candid interview with Empire magazine, Diaz expressed her thoughts on her reentry into the film industry. 'I don’t know how I view it. It’s hard to say,' she remarked. 'If I say it then it becomes this thing. I reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again, and I reserve the right to say yes if I decide to. I’m not defining anything. I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.'

No More Rom-Coms

Known for her unforgettable performances in romantic comedies like The Holiday, My Best Friend’s Wedding, The Other Woman, and What Happens in Vegas, Diaz has made it clear that she's not looking to revisit those roles, stating, 'No more rom-coms, only mom-coms.'

Back in Action

Back in Action sees Diaz paired with Jamie Foxx as they play former CIA operatives who are pulled back into the chaotic world of espionage when their identities are at risk. This film also marks a fun reunion for the two stars, who previously collaborated on notable projects such as Any Given Sunday (1999) and Annie (2014)—which was her last film before her break.

Gushing About Jamie Foxx

'I thought that if I was going to come back and do a movie, the only person I’d come back and do it with would be this guy,' Diaz gushed about Foxx. 'Seriously. I had other opportunities along the way and I was always saying, ‘No. I’m not doing it, I’ve told you… What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can do a movie with Jamie!’

Family and New Ventures

Over the past ten years, Diaz welcomed two children with her husband, Benji Madden—a daughter, Raddix, and a son, Cardinal. In addition to her family life, she launched a clean wine brand, Avaline, with business partner Katherine Power in 2020, embodying her commitment to wellness and healthy living.
