- Jamie Foxx persuaded Cameron Diaz to return to acting with help from Tom Brady, while the famous US quarterback said he’d entertained the idea of retirement for his wife Gisele Bündchen
- Ozzy Osbourne has turned his multiple retirements into a running jokes with the names of his farewell concert tours, while Floyd Mayweather has come back to the boxing ring again and again
Cameron Diaz and Tom Brady recently teamed up to announce her new Netflix film, Back in Action. With the Charlie’s Angels star coming from the world of film and the Super Bowl champion being the American football G.O.A.T, it was an unexpected collaboration for more than one reason – only months ago both stars were officially retired.
And they’re not the only celebrities to have surprised fans by coming back out of retirement. Here’s who else decided to dust themselves off and get back in the game in recent years.
1. Ozzy Osbourne

The rocker announced his retirement in November 1992, saying: “Who wants to be touring at 46?” But three years after his No More Tours series of concerts, he embarked on a Retirement Sucks Tour following the release of his 1995 album “Ozzmosis”. The British-born musician has continued with his career, but has cancelled his No More Tours II gig dates several times in the last few years due to health issues.
His wife Sharon Osbourne revealed in June that Ozzy was undergoing surgery and at San Diego Comic-Con in July, the musician said that he was doing much better.
He said: “I like to see people, you know. That’s been the hardest thing of the past three years … I’m getting there. It’s a slow climb back, you know?”
2. Floyd Mayweather
