Hollywood star Cameron Diaz has shared that acting no longer feels like it after coming out of retirement to star in Netflix’s “Back in Action.”
The actress retired from the acting scene in 2014, last starring in the remake of the musical Annie. At that time, the actress left because she was tired of traveling from set to set for filming.
Her “Back in Action” co-star, Jamie Foxx, said earlier this month that he begged the actress to come out of retirement. The two had previously been on screen together in “Annie” and the 1990 film “Any Given Sunday.”

Speaking on “The Tonight Show,” Diaz told host Jimmy Fallon that she’s “both” nervous and excited to return to the big screen in the Netflix movie “Back in Action.” He admitted that while it wasn’t difficult to regain his acting muscles, everything still looked “different”.
“It’s a bit of muscle memory, you know what I mean?” he said, per E! News. “I did that for so long, it was like the process, I kind of fell back. But it feels a little different.”
In “Back in Action,” the 50-year-old star opposite Hollywood icon Jamie Foxx, reuniting for the first time since they shared the screen in the 2014 musical film “Annie.”
“The last film I did was Annie with Jamie, so the first film back is this film with Jamie,” he continued. “He’s so great, he’s so easy, he’s so professional, he’s so talented, and just a pleasure to work with.” The actor added, “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Aside from “Annie” and their upcoming role in “Back in Action,” Foxx and Diaz also starred in the ’90s sports drama “Any Given Sunday.” The pair are known to have great chemistry on set and are also good friends, which played a role in bringing Diaz out of retirement.
Back in August, Foxx told E! News that he and the cast of “Back In Action” approached the actress with some good old fashioned pleading to convince her to end her hiatus since she initially had no plans to do so.
“We were just pleading and on our knees, like, ‘Give people one more time,'” the actor said at the time. “We love him, we’ve been waiting for him,” added the Grammy winner, “and this is going to be great.”

It wasn’t immediately clear why she took a break, but she later explained it in an episode of Gwyneth Paltrow’s “Goop Health: The Sessions” in 2020. She said the constant travel to and from filming locations took a toll on her, forcing her to retire.
“I just decided that I wanted something different out of my life,” he said. “I’ve been working hard for so long, working, making movies, and it’s very hard,” Diaz shared Per E! News. “When you make a movie—that’s the perfect excuse—they own you. You’re there for 12 hours a day for months, and you don’t have time for anything else.”
