In the ’00s, Cameron Diaz was the moment and starred in some of our most beloved films to-date including Charlie’s Angels and The Holiday. In 2014 she quietly stepped away from Hollywood, telling Gwyneth Paltrow for Goop in 2018 she had retired to “really focus on my personal life, my personal relationships, my family, my friends.”

After eight years since appearing on the silver screen, it seems a persuasive Jamie Foxx and an attractive Netflix deal has seen the actress return from retirement. “Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now,” Foxx wrote in a tweet which was accompanied by a phone recording. “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!! 🦊🐐”

NFL star Tom Brady made a cameo on the recording telling Cameron that she may need some tips on “un-retiring”.
