It’s been a long time since Cameron Diaz graced a major red carpet for a film premiere, photocall or event like the Met Gala. The actress made the decision to step back from acting in 2018 in order to focus on her business ventures and her family. The actress is married to Benji Madden, with whom she shares two children. Roughly six years after her retirement, however, Diaz will make her comeback in the Netflix film “Back in Action,” co-starring Jamie Foxx.
