Cameron Diaz's latest project, "Back In Action," seems fitting as she returns to the spotlight. In this spy comedy alongside Jamie Foxx, they portray two retired spies pulled back into the espionage world.

After a decade away from acting, Diaz is making a bold return but with a twist – she has no intention of revisiting her past works.

A New Direction

In a recent interview with Empire, the seasoned actress hinted at her shift in focus, revealing her aversion to returning to romantic comedies. Diaz firmly stated, "No more rom-coms," emphasizing her preference for what she calls "mom-coms."

Open to Possibilities

Diaz expressed some uncertainty about officially announcing her return, highlighting her preference for maintaining flexibility in her decision-making process. She explained to "reserve the right to say no to doing a movie ever again", and also "the right to say yes if (she) decide to." Diaz's return could signal a fresh chapter in her acting career or possibly mark her final project.

Career Evolution

Initially rising to fame in the '90s with notable roles in films like The Mask and Charlie's Angels, Diaz quickly became known as a leading actress in romantic comedies like "The Holiday" and "What Happens in Vegas". However, her last project before her hiatus in 2014 was "Annie", a film she considered essential for reclaiming control over her life.

Focus on Family

During her break from acting, Diaz devoted her time to nurturing her children, Raddix and Cardinal. She prioritized their upbringing and reflected on the importance of living a fulfilling family-oriented life.

Inspiration for Return

Diaz shared that her return to acting was sparked by a script that caught her attention. Considering the high caliber of talent involved, she felt compelled to embark on this new journey. This decision signifies a fresh start for Diaz, and she is grateful for the opportunity to explore new possibilities in her career.
