Cameron Diaz, known best for her work in romantic comedies, has returned to the silver screen with the Netflix movie ‘Back in Action’. The actor was last seen in ‘Annie’ as Colleen Hannigan in 2014 but stayed away from movies since then. Cameron got married in 2015 and welcomed her second baby boy last year with husband Benji Madden.
The actor, in a recent promotional video, revealed that she was spending a lot of time with her family and had not really contemplated returning to movies, till recently. “I was living my life and one day, I received a phone call from Jamie Foxx. Now, who would say no to Jamie Foxx. He told me that he had a big-action comedy film and promised me loads of fun. I spent the next few months having a ball and now, yeah, I am back in action,” said the actor, though she did not clarify whether she would continue being part of films.
In the meanwhile, the actor also started her wine company Avaline, which focused on making organic wine along with Catherine Power. “I said no to everything else after Hollywood and started a wine company. If there was anything I was doing other than being a mom and living my day-to-day life, it was owning a wine company,” she said. “And yeah, I was trying hard as a mother to stay alive,” she said with a laugh. Cameron portrays an ex-spy who comes out of retirement in the new action-comedy.
