During an interview, Cameron Diaz explained why she came out of “retirement” to star in Netflix’s new action comedy.
Actress Cameron Diaz, who had been away from Hollywood for 10 years, explained why she came out of “retirement” to star in Netflix’s new action comedy.
In an interview with Empire magazine, Diaz shared that she spent the last few years “creating a family” with her husband, musician Benji Madden, and their two children. According to the actress, her return to the screen had one reason: actor Jamie Foxx.
“I thought that if I were to come back and make a movie, the only person I would do that with would be this guy,” she said. “Seriously. I had other opportunities along the way, but I always said, ‘No. I’m not doing it, I told you… What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can make a movie with Jamie.’”
Diaz and Foxx star together in “Back in Action,” the new action comedy from Netflix, which premieres on January 17 on the streaming platform.
“Years after abandoning their lives as CIA spies to start a family, Emily (Diaz) and Matt (Foxx) find themselves dragged back into the world of espionage when their cover is blown,” the film’s synopsis reads.
