The 55-year-old actor was most recently seen on the set of the upcoming Netflix movie 'Back In Action', which also stars Cameron Diaz.

The highly anticipated film will be the first big-screen project Diaz has starred in since 2014's Annie remake, which also featured Foxx.

While Netflix has been tight-lipped about details on the plot of Back in Action, an insider told PEOPLE that the Charlie's Angels actress and Foxx "have great chemistry" on set.
