Before Jamie Foxx’s emergency medical hospitalization in April 2023, reports surfaced suggesting he had made everyone’s lives a living hell while filming Netflix’s “Back in Action.” The purported on-set tension between Foxx and Cameron Diaz was apparently so bad that she vowed never to make another movie again. An alleged source told the Daily Mail that Diaz would turn her back on acting because she was sick of all the Hollywood histrionics. “She hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired from the business in the first place,” they claimed.
Well, that’s all news to Diaz. She debunked the Foxx diva rumors and reports of tension during an appearance on the “Lipstick on the Rim” podcast with Molly Sims. “I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time,” Diaz shared. “You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’… Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew. Everybody loves him.”
Diaz praised Foxx for being the consummate pro and insisted she enjoyed her time with him on set. “Jamie is the best. I love that guy so much. He’s such a special person, and he’s so talented, so much fun,” she said. Diaz admitted she was angry over the rumors, but Foxx chose to take the high road and ignore the chatter.
