While fans are excited to watch the actor alongside Diaz and his other costar Glenn Close, sources claimed there has been friction on the movie set. “She [Diaz] hates drama and confrontation. This is why she retired in the first place," insiders claimed.
Diaz allegedly regrets coming out of retirement after quitting Hollywood to focus on her family, with insiders warning the risk might not outweigh the reward.
“Even though people bend over backward to make Jamie happy, there’s a lot at risk for Cameron — especially because of Jamie’s mixed track record on passion projects. Sometimes he hits it out of the park and sometimes the whole thing seems cursed," a source spilled late last year.
