Actress Cameron Diaz has said the decade she spent in retirement from acting was “the best 10 years” of her life.

The Holiday star returned to screens this month in new spy thriller – Back in Action – with actor Jamie Foxx.

It is unclear if this is a permanent return to acting though, as she told BBC One’s The Graham Norton Show in the UK, “this is maybe the beginning… I don’t know”.

Asked if she liked the anonymity of taking a step back, she said “omg I loved it”, adding she was “free” to be a mom and a wife but that she was “really grateful” to be back.
