LONDON – Cameron Diaz is back on the big screen after a ten-year hiatus, starring alongside Jamie Foxx in Netflix’s “Back in Action.” Diaz, who credits Foxx with persuading her to return to acting, revealed on “The Graham Norton Show” that she deliberately stepped away from Hollywood for a decade to focus on family life.

“I had 10 years of not paying attention to anything,” Diaz stated. She praised Foxx, a longtime friend and co-star from films like “Any Given Sunday” and “Annie,” saying she only agreed to the project because of his involvement and exceptional talent. “If I was going to leave my family for 10 hours a day, I wanted to do it with the most talented man in the entertainment business,” she explained.

Despite her absence from acting, Diaz remained busy as a wife, mother, author, and businesswoman. She expressed gratitude for the time spent with her family and husband, Benji Madden, but ultimately felt compelled to return to acting. “It is a privilege to make films,” she said, adding that she considered herself lucky for the opportunity. The actress described her decade-long break as a fulfilling period but felt she would have been a “fool” to pass up this chance. The return to acting, after a ten-year break, is seen by many as a welcome surprise.
