Return of the dream team: Cameron Diaz’s huge announcement
Beloved Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz is set for a massive comeback to our screens after retiring in 2014.
The Charlie’s Angels star will star alongside Jamie Foxx in a Netflix movie called Back in Action.
Foxx announced the exciting news on Twitter in the form of a three-way phone call between himself, Diaz and NFL player Tom Brady.
Brady, who earlier in the year announced his retirement from the game but retracted it a few weeks later, was advising an “anxious” Diaz on how to come back into the spotlight.
Foxx and Diaz have a quick chat where he is asking how she’s feeling, trying to calm her nerves before surprising her with Brady on the other line.
“I was talking to Jamie and he told me you need a few tips on how to un-retire. I’m relatively successful at un-retiring,” Brady says to a laughing Diaz.
“Honestly, exactly what I needed,” Diaz responds.
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. @CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION - our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starting later this year!! 🦊🐐 pic.twitter.com/vyaGrUmbWb

Foxx then jumps in to say he will leave them to it before the line ends.
There is not much yet known about the movie, but it is expected that comedian and fellow actor Seth Rogan will be directing it.
This also won’t be the first time Diaz and Foxx appeared alongside each other with the pair starring in Annie (2014) and Any Given Sunday (1999).
Diaz took a break from acting in 2014, a year before marrying rocker Benji Madden of Good Charlotte.
The couple have one child together, Raddix Madden who was born in December 2019.
After becoming a mother, Diaz did a small number of interviews speaking about whether or not she could get back into acting.
“Will I ever make a movie again? I’m not looking to, but will I? I don’t know. I have no idea,” Diaz previously said.
“Maybe, never say never, but I couldn’t imagine being a mum now where I’m at as a mother with my child at her first year to have to be on a movie set that takes 14 hours, 16 hours of my day away from my child.”
