See the first photo from the set of Cameron Diaz's return to acting with Jamie Foxx

Cameron Diaz is literally back in action. The star leaves retirement and returns to the screen to appear in the film "Back in Action" alongside Jamie Foxx. The Netflix action-comedy will be directed by "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon with a script from "Neighbors" writer Brendan O'Brien. On February 8, Diaz and Foxx were photographed together on set in London, giving us our first look at the movie. See the photo to come.

Foxx shared news of the movie and Diaz's comeback on Twitter in June 2022, posting an audio clip in which Diaz can be heard saying she's "so excited" but "anxious" about her rebirth of actor. "I don't know how to do this, you know? she says. Then NFL legend Tom Brady - who retired and changed his mind just over a month later - appears in the clip to offer "some advice on how not to retire". .

"Cameron, hope you're not mad I recorded this, but no rewinding now," Foxx tweeted alongside the clip. "Had to call the GOAT to bring another GOAT. @CameronDiaz and I are BACK IN ACTION - our new movie with @NetflixFilm. Production starts later this year!"

Diaz's last movie was 2014's 'Annie', in which she played the villainous Miss Hannigan (appropriately, Foxx was in that movie too). The four-time Golden Globe nominee and 'Charlie's Angels' star explained her decision to retire from acting in a 2020 interview with Gwyneth Paltrow. "I just decided that I wanted different things out of my life," she said at the time. "I've been working so hard for so long, working, making movies and it's so hard. I haven't really made room for my personal life."

In a July 2022 interview with "CBS Mornings," Diaz went into more detail about the reason for his eight-year hiatus. "When you're doing something that you know and you've done well and you know how it works and it's consumed your whole life for so long, it's kind of a good thing to say, 'You know what? me just take a step back for a second, take a look at what the whole picture looks like to me and what are the things that I could do better and be more committed to that would make me feel more whole. I did," Diaz said.

After leaving Hollywood, Diaz said in the interview with Paltrow that she felt "a peace. I have a peace in my soul." Diaz added, "Because I was finally taking care of myself...I just feel grounded and light." However, she told "CBS Mornings" that she misses acting. "I mean, I miss certain aspects of acting or filmmaking," she shared. "Yeah, making movies is a special skill that's fun to practice and be a part of...
