After taking a break from acting for four years, Cameron Diaz faced rumors that her collaboration with Jamie Foxx led her to contemplate leaving the industry. However, Diaz, 51, recently spoke out and dismissed these rumors, affirming that the decision to take a hiatus was solely for personal reasons.

Diaz’s break from acting, which spanned from 2018 to 2022, allowed her to step away from the spotlight and regain control over her life. The actress wanted to make her life “more manageable,” as reported by various sources. Last year, she made a triumphant comeback with her role in the action comedy film, “Back in Action.”

Some stories began to circulate, suggesting that Diaz’s desire to stop acting was influenced by Foxx’s behavior during their collaboration. There were claims that Foxx mistreated Diaz on set, coinciding with his mysterious illness and subsequent hospitalization. However, Diaz has vehemently denied these accusations, expressing her disbelief that such rumors were even being spread.

During an interview on the Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Diaz voiced her strong disapproval of the criticism directed towards their show at that time. She questioned, “What on earth are you talking about?” Diaz explained that Foxx is highly regarded among the crew and is known for his talents and comedic presence on set. She described him as “the crew’s biggest advocate” and emphasized the fun and laughter they shared during filming.

Diaz expressed her admiration for Foxx, stating, “Jamie is the best. I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person and he’s so talented, so much fun.” Her words reflect the close bond and mutual respect they share as colleagues.

On the other hand, Foxx, 55, recently made his first public appearance since his hospitalization on December 4th, offering an update on his health. He expressed gratitude towards everyone who supported him during his challenging time. Foxx acknowledged the difficulties he faced and revealed that six months ago, he couldn’t even walk. This statement further highlights the resilience and determination he possesses.

With Diaz’s reassurance and Foxx’s improved health, it is evident that any speculation regarding their collaboration has been put to rest. The talented pair continues to be respected and celebrated in the entertainment industry, creating unforgettable moments on screen.
