Cameron Diaz returns to the spotlight after a five-year hiatus with her highly anticipated Netflix movie “Back in Action,” marking a new chapter in her career and a welcome sight for fans.
Cameron Diaz Makes First Red Carpet Appearance in 5 Years
Cameron Diaz has made a highly anticipated return to the red carpet after a five-year hiatus. The actress, known for her iconic roles in movies like “There’s Something About Mary” and “Shrek,” attended the premiere of her new Netflix movie, “Back in Action,” alongside her co-star Jamie Foxx.
A New Chapter in Diaz’s Career
Diaz’s last red carpet appearance was in 2014, when she walked the purple carpet for the premiere of “Annie.” Since then, she has stepped away from Hollywood to focus on her family with husband Benji Madden. The couple shares two children: daughter Raddix and son Cardinal.
During an interview with Variety in October 2024, Diaz revealed that she came out of retirement to work with Foxx on “Back in Action” after being asked by the actor. She joked about how she couldn’t say no to Foxx, saying, “How do you say no to Jamie Foxx?” The movie promo clip also shows the duo singing about their 25-year friendship, seemingly squashing rumors of an on-set feud.
A Return to Hollywood
Diaz’s appearance at the “Back in Action” premiere marked her first red carpet event in a decade. However, she has attended several other high-profile events during her break from acting, including Lucy Liu‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2019 and the EEEEEatscon food festival later that year.
The actress has spoken publicly about why she stepped away from Hollywood to focus on her family. In an interview with Variety, Diaz stated, “For me, it was just something I had to do. It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life. And I just really didn’t care about anything else.” She added that building her family is what she’s most passionate about.
A New Beginning
With the release of “Back in Action” on Netflix, Diaz has officially returned to Hollywood. The movie promo clip shows her and Foxx having a great time on set, laughing together and singing about their friendship. It seems that Diaz has found a new sense of purpose and passion in her career, and fans can’t wait to see what’s next for the actress.
Diaz’s return to the red carpet is a welcome sight for fans who have been missing her iconic presence on the big screen. With “Back in Action” under her belt, she’s sure to be back in action soon.
