Keanu Reeves<\/a> and Cameron Diaz<\/a> were back side by side on Wednesday, sharing the stage at an Apple event nearly three decades\u00a0steamed up the screen as love interests in 1996\u2019s Feeling Minnesota<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actors shared the stage at an Apple event in Santa Monica, California<\/a>, marking a rare reunion after their cult romantic comedy quietly faded into \u201990s obscurity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They were on hand to promote Outcome, an upcoming film directed by Jonah Hill<\/a> that reunites them on screen once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Reeves, 61, cut a classic figure in a sharp black suit with his greying beard on display, while Diaz, 53, looked every inch a movie star in a sleek white dress.<\/p>\n

Flashing megawatt smiles, Reeves and Diaz flanked Hill on the red carpe<\/a>t, joined by their co-star Matt Bomer<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outcome is a dark comedy reminiscent of Feeling Minnesota, the edgy \u201990s rom-com where a newly released ex-convict (Reeves) falls for his brother\u2019s reluctant bride (Diaz) – an ex-stripper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Feeling <\/p>\n

Feeling Minnesota was an edgy \u201990s rom-com where a newly released ex-convict (Reeves) falls for his brother\u2019s reluctant bride (Diaz) – an ex-stripper<\/p>\n

Feeling Minnesota also starred Vincent D\u2019Onofrio, with a title lifted straight from the Soundgarden lyric, ‘I\u2019m looking California and feeling Minnesota.’\u00a0<\/p>\n

The movie didn\u2019t exactly set the box office ablaze and earned mixed reviews, with critics calling it a quirky but uneven indie experiment.<\/p>\n

Still, it\u2019s remembered for the chemistry between Reeves and Diaz long before either became Hollywood heavyweights.<\/p>\n

Of course, fans are thrilled to see Diaz back on the big screen after a long hiatus from acting, with a slate of new projects lined up.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She last starred in the 2014 remake of Annie before stepping away to focus on her family and business ventures – and only returned last year to reunite with Jamie Foxx in Back in Action.<\/p>\n

The action comedy marked a comeback for both stars, with Jamie recovering from a 2023 stroke and Cameron returning after nearly a decade away for family reasons.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Empire previously<\/a>, Cameron admitted she only came back to work with Jamie, saying: \u2018I thought that if I was going to come back and do a movie, the only person I\u2019d come back and do it with would be this guy [Foxx].\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Seriously. I had other opportunities along the way and I was always saying \u201cNo. I\u2019m not doing it\u2026 What? Jamie asked? Jamie? Oh, I can do a movie with Jamie!\u201d\u2019<\/p>\n

\"Feeling <\/p>\n

Feeling Minnesota also starred Vincent D\u2019Onofrio, with a title lifted straight from the Soundgarden lyric, ‘I\u2019m looking California and feeling Minnesota’<\/p>\n

Cameron officially retired from Hollywood in 2018 but was lured back by her close friend to star alongside him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, production hit turbulence in 2023 when reports claimed Jamie \u2018had an absolute meltdown\u2019 on the UK set, resulting in the firing of three crew members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time, a source told DailyMail.com that while Cameron had no issues with Jamie, she likely won\u2019t return to acting after this film.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018These back-to-back 10-hour workdays have been a lot on her, and she hates being away from Raddix,\u2019 the source said, adding: \u2018Cameron loves being a mom more than anything in the world.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘She hates drama and confrontation \u2014 this is why she retired in the first place. She\u2019s already proven herself in the industry and has nothing left to prove to anyone.\u2019<\/p>\n

Cameron famously walked away from Hollywood to spend more time with her rocker husband Benji Madden, 45.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The couple welcomed their daughter in December 2019 and have kept their private family life under wraps ever since.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz were back side by side on Wednesday, sharing the stage at an Apple…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":408716,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[304,776,78562,6491,97,96,19699,478,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-408715","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-apple","tag-california","tag-cameron-diaz","tag-celebrities","tag-dailymail","tag-entertainment","tag-keanu-reeves","tag-tvshowbiz","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408715","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=408715"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/408715\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/408716"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=408715"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=408715"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=408715"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
