Cameron Diaz is shutting down rumors about her time on set with Jamie Foxx filming the upcomingNetflix action-comedy Back in Action.
Foxx, 56, had a medical emergency in April while filming the movie, and only recently began opening up about his long road to recovery.
During an appearance on the most recent episode of Molly Sims’ Lipstick on the Rim podcast, Diaz, 51, recalled the negative rumors swirling at the time that Foxx was crazy on set.
I really hate all of the things that were being said about our set at the time, Diaz said. You just want to scream at the top of your lungs, like, ‘What are you talking about?’
She also addressed the rumor that Foxx was making everything miserable and that I was never gonna make another movie again because of him.
Jamie is, like, the cheerleader for the entire crew. Everybody loves him. We have so much fun on the set with him, and he’s just a professional on every level, Diaz said.
Back in Action is the first film Diaz has worked on in more than a decade after the Charlie’s Angels star took time off for family, and she said she had a blast. Diaz and Foxx previously worked together for 1999’s Any Given Sunday and 2014’s Annie.
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 said that nothing got delayed during the filming of Back in Action, until toward the end.
And that’s something that is not my place to speak about, she said, noting that Foxx is now thriving.
When she talked to Foxx about the rumors, she says he told her, We know the truth.
Still, it just really made me angry, Diaz said. When I see and hear people trying to take another person down like that … [Jamie is] so classy. He’s like, ‘Nope. Just let them [talk].’
