Cameron Diaz made a stunning return to the red carpet after a five-year hiatus, stepping out in an all-black ensemble to promote her latest film, "Back in Action." The event marked her first red carpet appearance since April 2019, when she attended Lucy Liu’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. Diaz, who confirmed her retirement from acting in 2018, cited her family as a significant reason for stepping away from the spotlight.
Diaz's decision to retire was deeply personal. She told Variety in October 2024, "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." Her focus shifted towards building a family, sharing two children, daughter Raddix and son Cardinal, with her husband, Benji Madden.
The actress last graced the big screen in 2014 with "Annie" before deciding to prioritize her personal life over her career. However, the allure of working with Jamie Foxx drew her back into the industry. Their collaboration on "Back in Action" marks a notable return for Diaz, rekindling a professional relationship that spans 25 years. Together, they even released a promotional clip celebrating their friendship and dispelling rumors of any on-set feud.
Reuniting with her "Charlie’s Angels" co-stars during Lucy Liu's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony was another highlight for Diaz. It was a rare public appearance that brought nostalgia to fans and marked a special occasion for the actress. Reflecting on her return to acting alongside Foxx, Diaz remarked, “If there’s anyone I’m going to go back and spend months on end on set having a ball, laughing with — it would be Jamie.”
Diaz's comeback film "Back in Action" has been released on Netflix, bringing excitement to fans eager to see her back on screen. Her choice to step away from Hollywood was not taken lightly, but as she stated, “For me, it was to build my family.” This new chapter sees Diaz balancing her passion for acting with her dedication to family life.
