Cameron Diaz is brought out of retirement by Jamie Foxx and Tom Brady for Netflix’s Back In Action

Cameron Diaz will come out of retirement for the upcoming Netflix action-comedy feature Back In Action.

The news about the 49-year-old actress was announced through a message that was shared to Jamie Foxx’s Twitter account on Wednesday.

The 54-year-old actor notably brought in Tom Brady in an effort to coax the formerly retired actress back from her long-term break.

During the call, Diaz made a point of expressing how troubled she was about making a potential announcement.

She stated: ‘I’m so anxious right now, I’m pacing the room…I don’t know how to do this, you know?’ 

The Django Unchained star then brought in the 44-year-old star quarterback, who previously went back-and-forth about ending his career, to give the actress a few pointers. 

‘I was talking to Jamie and he said you needed a few tips on how to un-retire. I’m relatively successful at un-retiring,’ he stated.

‘Cameron I hope you aren’t mad I recorded this, but no turning back now. Had to call in the GOAT to bring back another GOAT,’ he said.

The Shrek voice actress also shared a shot of the voice call to her Instagram Story with a message of her own. 

She wrote: ‘Jamie Foxx, only you could get me back in action!!! I can’t frickin wait it’s gonna be a blast!’
