See Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx sing about 25-year friendship

Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx have something to sing about: a two-decade friendship that predates the iPod.

Ahead of the release of their upcoming action comedy Back in Action, the costars and longtime pals came together for a musical performance all about their 25-year friendship. With Foxx on the piano, the duo harmonized about a friendship that began in 1999 after they starred together in the sports drama Any Given Sunday.

“Back in action, back in action,” sings Foxx. “Satisfaction, we’re back in action.” He adds, “People don’t even realize how long we’ve been friends.”

“And now we’re back in action, baby,” Diaz adds.

Foxx then freestyles about just how long the friendship is. “Back in action, and we’ve been friends since before Apple started making the iPod, and now they make the iPhone and not the iPod.”

“Tell ’em what else happened, Jamie,” Diaz says.

Foxx sings, “What else happened was Martha Stewart got super into weed and became best friends with Snoop.” Oh, and Diaz “made four Shrek movies,”

“Yes! Love that,” says Foxx. “We also did Annie together. And we lived through so much. We lived through Keyboard Cat, Pizza Rat, NFTs, DVDs, Corn Kid, Bean Dad, Salt Bae, Left Shark, Pink Sauce, Grimace Shake, and the Dress.”

“Which was white and gold,” Diaz quips.

Adds Foxx, “I thought it was black and blue.”

“And now we’re back together for another movie, and I am just so excited,” notes Diaz.

Premiering on Netflix on Jan. 17, Back in Action marks Diaz’s first movie role since 2014’s Annie, which, as their song indicated, also starred Foxx. The duo star as married former spies who are pulled back into the world of espionage after their covers are blown. Directed by Seth Gordon, the action comedy also stars Kyle Chandler, Andrew Scott, and Glenn Close.

Diaz is also set to reprise her role as Princess Fiona in the upcoming Shrek 5 after stepping away from acting a decade ago. “It felt like the right thing for me to do to reclaim my own life, and I just really didn’t care about anything else,” she said of the decision to step away at Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit in October. “Nobody’s opinion, nobody’s success, no one’s offer could change my mind about my decision of taking care of myself and building the life that I really wanted to have.”

Of the decision to return to Hollywood, “It was just the right time for my family,” said Diaz, who has two children with husband and Good Charlotte musician Benji Madden. “After COVID, we were in the house for a long time, which was amazing and the problem was we would probably stay there, we would still be there right now. People would be like, ‘It’s over,’ and I’d be like, ‘No it’s not, it’s not over for me.'”

“I had to push myself,” added the star. “My husband, who is the best, he was like, ‘You’ve been supporting us and building the family’ and supporting him in his businesses. He’s like, ‘It’s time for us to support you and let Mommy ascend and do her thing.’ He’s like, ‘Let me see you do it, girl.’ I was like, ‘All right, here we go.’”
