It's unusual for an actor to come out of retirement if the project per se wasn't deemed phenomenal, though with Netflix we know it's a hit or miss given the numerous trash us viewers have been exposed to through the platform, so I say it had better be worth it.

It will probably be garbage. She actually had some great roles back in the day but got stuck doing shitty rom-coms.

EXCLUSIVE: Cameron Diaz, 50, likely WON'T ever do another movie after beleaguered Jamie Foxx film - because she 'hates the drama' of Hollywood and wants to focus on being a mom to three-year-old daughter Raddix

Cameron Diaz likely won't return to Hollywood for another film - after a friend revealed the star has been struggling with super long work days that tear her apart from her husband Benji Madden and their three-year-old daughter, Raddix.

The 50-year-old officially retired from her Hollywood career in 2018, before being lured back by her close friend Jamie, 55, to star alongside him in action comedy Back In Action.

But her comeback project was thrown into turmoil earlier this month, when it was reported that Jamie 'had an absolute meltdown' on the UK set of the movie, which led to the firing of three people.

Now, a source close to the star has revealed that - while she does not have any issues with Jamie - she likely won't return to the world of film after wrapping the project, because she's had such a hard time being away from her family and hates the 'drama and confrontation' that so often erupts on movie sets.

'These back-to-back 10-hour workdays have been a lot on her and she hates being away from Raddix,' the pal tells DailyMail.com exclusively, adding, 'Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world.'

'She hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired from the business in the first place,' she source adds. 'She has already proven herself in the industry and has nothing left to prove to anyone.'

Cameron famously walked away from Hollywood in 2018 to spend more time with her rocker husband Benji, 44.

The two welcomed their daughter in December 2019 and have been incredibly private about their lives as parents to their three-year-old.

I thought her career had ended in 2014 not 2018.

Has that been cancelled?

Disappointing if true, she ended on such a strong note with her role on The Counselor.

Was she short of money? I'm surprised she came back.
