Back in Action' director Seth Gordon tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview that Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx supported each other throughout filming — when the actress marked her return to acting with her first movie in over a decade and the actor had a medical emergency during production in April 2023.

Nevertheless, this outcome could prove disappointing for fans of Diaz, who earned praise and major award nominations in the late '90s and early 2000s for her performances in Being John Malkovich, Vanilla Sky and Gangs of New York.

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx inspired 'Back in Action' director Seth Gordon. Ryan Seacrest looked totally different with longer hair and a beard while promoting the new season of 'American Idol' ahead of the premiere on March 9, 2025. Many people are confused and disappointed.
