‘He had a meltdown!’: Jamie Foxx wreaks havoc on Cameron Diaz’ comeback movie and fires four crew members – after returning to acting after 9 years of retirement
Cameron’s Diaz’ first film in nine years was reportedly thrown into chaos after co-star Jamie Foxx suffered a “meltdown” on set.
It has been reported that the 55-year-old actor was so unhappy with the production on the London set of Back In Action that four people were fired.
The Netflix comedy marks Cameron’s return to acting, having previously stepped out of the spotlight to raise their three-year-old son Raddix.
According to The Sun, Oscar winner Jamie has cut an executive producer, two directors and even his own driver, who became “pretty unpopular” in the process.
A source told the publication, “There were some issues on set and Jamie had a major meltdown.”
