Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx got suited up for a night-time shoot filming for brand new Netflix rom-com Back In Action.
The actress, 50, and the actor, 55, have previously worked together on two occasions, in 1999 for Any Given Day and the remake of Annie in 2014.
And since Diaz quit acting for what seemed like for good in March 2018 after revealing that she was ‘tired’ of travelling for filming, fans weren’t sure if they’d see her on the big screen again.
Taking to the streets of the English capital at the weekend, the Hollywood A-listers were in all-black ensembles as they worked their magic by the River Thames.
Cameron wore a plunging satin-lapelled black blazer and smart black trousers with a lacy camisole top underneath.

She slipped into a pair of black smart shoes which went perfectly with her suave look.
Her blonde tresses were styled in a gentle curled style and she wore a natural palette of makeup for the occasion.Â
Jamie looked dapper in his crisp white shirt with black buttons, a black bow tie and black blazer.
They looked quite the duo as they paced up and down the film set during the night shoot.
Cameron and Foxx were dressed up in their finery for what looked like a red carpet event with hundreds of extras also at the Tate Modern.
And according to The Sun, the pair will remain in London to film ‘for the foreseeable future’.
The publication reported that residents living in the Royal Victoria Dock in east London received a letter from the production company.
It read that the ‘spectacles involved a stunt person riding a motorbike’ from the Docklands ‘onto a barge and up a ramp’, before dramatically plunging into the water.Â
