Back In Action

BBG News

In 2014, she was the leading actress in the film titled Annie. After that, she decided to devote more time to her loved ones and entrepreneurial pursuits, temporarily stepping away from acting.

52-year-old Cameron Diaz is making her comeback to the screens by starring in Netflix’s upcoming film “Back In Action.” The movie boasts an impressive cast including Glenn Close (age 77) and Jamie Foxx (age 57). An exciting trailer for this project was unveiled on Wednesday.

On January 17th, the Netflix film unfolds the story of Emily (played by Cameron) and Matt (portrayed by Jamie), once covert CIA operatives, now seeking tranquility and family life after abandoning their adventurous espionage and action-packed careers to live a peaceful existence.

Yet, their situation takes an unexpected turn when their identities are exposed, causing them to engage in battles and flee to safeguard the people they hold dear.

The film opens with Emily, Matt, and their kids heading for a restaurant in a car. But before reaching the destination, they unexpectedly pull over at a gas station. Upon Jamie’s exit from the vehicle, an unforeseen crowd of strangers converge around him and his wife Emily, launching an attack without warning.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but share my thoughts on the latest twist in their tale. When it comes to protecting themselves, the cat’s finally out of the bag – their secret identities have been unveiled to their own flesh and blood. Now, they find themselves grappling with an unknown peril that could potentially endanger their family’s well-being.

In this fresh blend of action and humor, the skilled director Seth Gordon, aged 48, has crafted a return to the limelight for both Jamie and Cameron. Notably, Jamie experienced a stroke in 2023, while Cameron took a break from acting due to family commitments back in 2014.

Earlier, Cameron had shared that she went back to acting solely for the chance to collaborate with Jamie once more, since they last worked together on Any Given Sunday and Annie.

She mentioned that if she were to return for another film, the only individual she’d collaborate with again would be this particular actor (Foxx).

Indeed, there were other options presented to me at various points, but I consistently declined them, insisting that I wasn’t interested. Suddenly, it was Jamie offering a film role and my immediate response was, “Yes! I can work with Jamie!

Apart from the leading actors, Kyle Chandler, Glenn, Andrew Scott, two Jamie Demetrious (yes, there are two characters with that name), and Rylan Jackson are also part of the film’s cast.

In 2018, she formally ended her acting career in Hollywood at age 52. However, her good friend Jamie managed to persuade her to return and join him for a role in an action-comedy film together.

However, in 2023, her return venture faced chaos when news broke out about a dramatic breakdown by Jamie on the British film set, resulting in the termination of three crew members.

In March 2023, a trusted confidant disclosed that although Cameron has no problems with Jamie, it’s anticipated she won’t re-enter the film industry after this production due to her struggle with prolonged absence from family and her dislike for the frequent ‘turmoil and disagreements’ that frequently occur on film sets.

The source shared with DailyMail.com that the long, consecutive 10-hour workdays have been quite demanding for her and she dislikes being separated from Raddix.

They added: ‘Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world.’ 

‘She hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired from the business in the first place,’

‘She has already proven herself in the industry and has nothing left to prove to anyone.’

In 2018, Cameron decided to step back from Hollywood to devote more time to her musician spouse, Benji Madden, who is 45 years old.

In December 2019, the couple happily ushered a new family member, their daughter, into their world. Ever since then, they’ve kept their life as parents of a three-year-old very personal and low-key.
