Jamie Foxx Was Cameron Diaz’s ‘Biggest Cheerleader’ as She Returned for First Film in Over a Decade, Director Says (Exclusive)

'Back in Action' director Seth Gordon tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that Jamie Foxx was Cameron Diaz's 'biggest cheerleader' as she returned to acting with her first movie in more than a decade.

Foxx, 57, served as a big supporter for Diaz, 52, when she made her triumphant return to acting with her first movie in more than a decade, Back in Action, according to the film's director, Seth Gordon. The filmmaker adds that Diaz later supported Foxx throughout his return after the actor had a medical emergency in April 2023, which interrupted filming for a period of time. Others in the cast of the Netflix film include Glenn Close, Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, McKenna Roberts, Rylan Jackson and Jamie Demetriou.
