The soundbite featured Foxx calling out the There’s Something About Mary star. “I’m so anxious right now,” Diaz said. “I’m, like, pacing the room. … I feel excited, but I don’t know how to do this, ya know?”
The Oscar winner had an expert to help him. “Listen, I got somebody on the other line that can help you with this. Can I click him in?” Foxx asked without mentioning who he had on the phone.
“I would love that,” the San Diego native said. “Any kind of tips I can get!”
A deep voice said “Hello to the celebs!” “Cameron, it’s the GOAT,” Foxx explained.
“Oh, my God, is this Tom Brady?” Diaz asked with a giggle.
Brady replied, “I was talking to Jamie and he said you need a few tips on how to unretire. I’m relatively successful at unretiring.”
The Avaline wine cofounder said that the athlete’s perspective was “exactly what I needed.”
After winning Super Bowl LV, Brady famously announced that he was leaving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He retired just 41 days later.
“These past two months I’ve realized my place is still on the field and not in the stands. It will come. But it’s not now,” Brady shared via Twitter in March. “I love my teammates, and I love my supportive family. They make it possible. I’m coming back for my 23rd season in Tampa.”
Diaz confirmed Wednesday via her Instagram Story Action!She will be making her Hollywood comeback after a long hiatus. “Jamie Foxx, only you could get me back in action!!! I can’t frickin wait it’s gonna be a blast!” she wrote.
The pair worked together on 1999’s Any Given Sunday and 2014’s Annie remake, which was Diaz’s final screen role before her retirement, which she officially acknowledged in 2018. The Charlie’s AngelsStar has been focusing her attention on her family, including husband. Benji MaddenRaddix, Raddix’s daughter.
“When you do something at a really high level for a long period of time, when you’re the person that’s sort of delivering on this one thing, everything around, all parts of you that isn’t that, has to sort of be handed off to other people,” Diaz told Kevin HartDuring an August 2021 appearance at his talk show Hart to Heart. “Just, the management of me as a human being … Cameron Diaz is a machine. But for my personal, spiritual self, I was realizing that one part of me that functioned at a high level wasn’t enough.”
Exclusively from a source Us Weekly in March that Diaz has been offered many roles over the years, but she “politely declined” everything before Foxx and Netflix came to her.
“Naturally, [her friends]Ask her if she was sure [retirement] was what she wanted, but there was no doubt in their minds that Cameron could always come back if she wanted to,” the insider said at the time. “It wasn’t and still isn’t a total forever thing.”
Back in Action has not yet been released. Cameras will be rolling later in the year.
