Cameron Diaz retired from acting in the 2010s—just last year, shetalked to Kevin Hartabout her decision to step back from acting. The only acting credit since 2014 on her CV is the “Boss Bitch Fight Challenge” Zoe Bell put together during the lockdown last year. Well, maybe that taste was enough to reignite her interest, because Cammie D just ended her eight-year hiatus to make a new movie with Jamie Foxx. It’s an action-comedy calledBack In Actionfor Netflix. Foxx and Diaz have previously worked together on the HIGHLY underappreciatedAny Given Sunday—one of the grossest American movies I’ve seen, and also one of Diaz’s best performances—and the 2014 remake ofAnnie. Foxx broke the news via Twitter:

Is this an example of Tom Brady’s, er, humor? “You need a few tips on how to un-retire”? Man, I hope the writing for theTom Bradycomedy movieis a LOT better than this, because YIKES. I’ve seen week-old hospital tapioca with more personality. (I’m picking on it because you know this was a setup, and THIS is the best they can do?) Bradioca aside, I am VERY excited for Cameron Diaz to return to acting. Do I wish it was for something other than the Netflix content firehose? Yes.Any Given Sunday 2(任何给定的周一?), a new Jamie Foxx/Michael Mann collaboration, or even a sequel toThe Counselor, one of Ridley Scott’s more ambitious messes in which Diaz gives a KILLER performance. Just something that won’t get buried two days later by the six new movies and ten TV shows coming out at the same time. Still, content firehose aside, it’s exciting to have Cameron Diaz in front of the camera again. The Nineties really ARE coming back.
