Cameron Diaz makes red carpet comeback as she emerges from retirement

Cameron Diaz has emerged from her retirement to make her first red carpet appearance in years to promote her new movie.

Cameron Diaz is certainly back in action!

The actress returned to the red carpet after a five-year hiatus to promote her and Jamie Foxx’s new Netflix movie, “Back in Action,” at the premiere in Berlin on Wednesday.

For the event, Diaz wore an all-black ensemble featuring a partially sheer blouse, high-waisted jeans and a floor-length coat.

The “There’s Something About Mary” star, 52, posed for solo snaps as well as pictures with Foxx.

The Oscar-winning actor, 57, turned heads on the purple carpet in an unconventional suit with black-and-white striped trim.

This is Diaz’s first movie premiere carpet in a decade, as she last starred in 2014’s “Annie.”

She also made a rare red carpet appearance in April 2019 when she reunited with her “Charlie’s Angels” co-stars for Lucy Liu’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

The “Shrek” voice actress confirmed she was retiring from acting in 2018 during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.

Diaz stepped away from Hollywood to focus on her family with husband Benji Madden. The couple shares two children: daughter Raddix and son Cardinal.

“For me, it was just something I had to do. It felt like something I had to do to reclaim my own life. And I just really didn’t care about anything else,” she told Variety in October 2024.

“It really comes to: What are you passionate about?” Diaz added. “For me, it was to build my family.”

She came out of retirement to work with Foxx on “Back in Action” — out on Netflix Friday.

She reunited with the “Django Unchained” star on the Seth Gordon-directed action flick after previously starring alongside the actor in the 1999 movie “Any Given Sunday.”

In a movie promo posted by Netflix Wednesday, Diaz said she was happy just “living [her] life” when Foxx called and asked her to join the cast.

“How do you say no to Jamie Foxx?” she said jokingly. “If there’s anyone I’m going to go back and spend months on end on set having a ball, laughing with — it would be Jamie.”

In another promotional clip from December 2024, the duo teamed up to sing about their 25-year friendship, seemingly squashing rumours of an on-set feud.
