Cameron Diaz filmed what appeared to be a dramatic scene on set of her upcoming action comedy Bad Day in New Jersey on Tuesday.
The 53-year-old actress – who recently enjoyed a rare outing with husband Benji Madden – was joined by her co-star Rhenzy Feliz as the pair shot a day scene at a gas station.
Production for the Netflix feature began last month – with Jake Szymanski directing and Lauren Solon penning the screenplay.
Diaz kept it casual while sporting a plaid button up as well as a pair of classic denim jeans and a green jacket.
She completed the overall look by slipping into a pair of white sneakers and easily held a smartphone in her right hand.
The Charlie’s Angels actress carried a tan-colored purse over her shoulder while her blonde locks flowed down naturally past her shoulders.

Feliz also dressed down in a pair of denim shorts as well as a plain white shirt and red sweatshirt on top.
He layered the ensemble with a sleeveless, camouflage puffer vest and donned a pair of gray sneakers.
Both Diaz and Feliz were seen filming a scene as they pulled up to a gas station inside an older red Volvo sedan.
The actress stepped out of the passenger side of the vehicle and proceeded to have a brief dramatic exchange with Feliz.
He tossed his arm up into the air as he motioned towards the street while Diaz kept a serious expression on her face.
However, in between takes, the two stars held smiles on their faces as they held a lighthearted conversation. Feliz was also seen holding a raw carrot in his hand for the scene.
It was revealed back in July that Diaz has taken on a leading role in the Netflix action comedy Bad Day, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Szymanski is directing the upcoming movie – and is known for other projects such as the 2023 miniseries Jury Duty and 2016 comedy Mike And Dave Need Wedding Dates.

The premise for Bad Day is: ‘A single mother struggles to fulfill a small promise to her daughter during the most devastating day she’s ever faced,’ per IMDB.
Aside from Diaz and Feliz, other cast members that will also appear in the film include Danielle Brooks and Ed O’Neill.
Bad Day is also described as a comedic version of the 1993 action drama Falling Down starring Michael Douglas, according to THR.
Diaz notably took a 10-year hiatus from acting and recently made her anticipated return in the Netflix film Back In Action – which premiered earlier this year in January.
The film had also cast Jamie Foxx, Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and Glenn Close.
The mom-of-two previously credited Foxx to bringing her back to the big screen.
‘I am back all thanks to Jamie,’ she expressed during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show earlier this year.
‘I had 10 years of not paying attention to anything; not accepting any advances, and then I got this script and thought that maybe it was time.’

Diaz – who is also known for her roles in films such as The Mask and The Holiday – continued, ‘If I was going to leave my family for 10 hours a day I wanted to do it with the most talented man in the entertainment business.’
She then told the host and audience that, ‘It is a privilege to make films, and we are all so lucky to do what we do. That the door was even open for me after a decade was amazing.
‘I loved those 10 years for me and my family, but I thought, “If I let this go away, if I don’t engage again, and if I don’t give it chance, I am a fool.”‘
She added, ‘It might be the beginning of something, but its here now and I am grateful for it.’
Diaz tied the knot with guitarist Benji Madden in 2015 and the couple share two children together: Raddix, five, and Cardinal, one.

In regards to what it was like to be on set for the first time in a decade, Diaz revealed on Netflix’s Skip Intro podcast that it was as if she never took a break.
‘It’s like riding a bike, you know what I mean?’ the star expressed.
‘When you go back to something that you’ve done, there’s so much of it that you don’t have to think about.’
Diaz added, ‘I was like, “Oh man, I just know how to hit my mark. I know what questions to ask the cameraman.” The set was second nature to me.’
