Cameron Diaz Returns to Acting After Hiatus

Cameron Diaz has announced her return to acting after a nearly decade-long hiatus, largely motivated by the support of her husband, Benji Madden. At the Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit, she expressed gratitude for Madden's encouragement, stating it was time for her to pursue her passions now that they had established their family with two children, Raddix and Cardinal. Diaz reflected on her break, describing it as a necessary period to reclaim her life, ensuring that her decisions were based on personal fulfillment rather than external opinions. She shared that the opportunity to work with Jamie Foxx in the upcoming film 'Back in Action' was irresistible, stating, "I couldn’t say no to Jamie." The movie is set to premiere on Netflix on January 17, 2025, following delays due to Foxx's health issues. Diaz's journey emphasizes the importance of mutual support in partnerships, especially when balancing family and career aspirations.
