Back in Action stars Cameron Diaz, who Jamie helped coax out of retirement, and Glenn Close. However the film has faced a series of setbacks on set; last month, reports surfaced that Foxx had a meltdown during the film's shoot in the UK, leading to the dismissal of several staff members, including an executive producer, two directors, and his own driver.
