50-year-old Cameron Diaz quit the spotlight to build her family in privacy nine years ago. However, the actress’ co-star convinced her to make one more movie.


Cameron Diaz, who stepped away from Hollywood nine years ago to focus on family, surprised fans with her return for one last movie, “Back In Action,” co-starring with Jamie Foxx. Diaz, once the girl-next-door icon, retired at 47 after marrying and becoming a mom. Recent photos of her filming the Netflix project sparked controversy, with fans commenting on her changed appearance, speculating about plastic surgery.

Foxx, Diaz’s co-star from 2014’s “Annie,” convinced her to join “Back In Action” after a heartfelt plea. Despite the anticipation for her comeback, it’s reported that Diaz plans to exit the industry after this film, dissatisfied with the on-set experience. A source revealed Diaz’s preference for a quiet life, citing her discomfort with industry drama.

While Diaz appreciates her past success, she finds fulfillment in motherhood and her business, Avaline. The recent movie set turmoil, where Foxx fired three individuals, solidified Diaz’s decision to leave Hollywood permanently. For her, the demanding nature of acting clashed with the life she had built independently. Diaz remains dedicated to her business and family, making it clear that “Back In Action” will likely mark the end of her acting career.
