Cameron Diaz in Vogue: I Wouldn’t Want to Look 25 Again

Cameron Diaz is 37 and, judging by her latest interview with Vogue UK (story via here), she’s having the time of her life. The star’s secret to her enviable figure and her youthful looking face is in accepting that nothing lasts forever and just enjoying the moment, as Cameron herself puts it. Whether she’d ever try plastic surgery she can’t say right now.

The gorgeous star has said before that she doesn’t believe in plastic surgery or other beautification procedures that are meant to deceive one into believing one is actually that one’s real age. She, for one, would not have anything done to her face right now because she doesn’t want to look 25 again, not when she knows she’s much older than that. So, instead of lying to herself, Cameron chooses to embrace what she has and enjoy it while it lasts.

“Yeah, well, hey, I’m not doing anything right now. But we’ll see. So far, so good. But I’ll never say never to anything. You’ve got to be realistic. I mean, I don’t want to look 25 again. I might as well enjoy it while I’ve still got something. No… fountain of youth… I guess it’s just exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter,” Cameron says of her complexion and killer figure. “I’m 37, I don’t need to go out and party anymore. Those years are over for me. There are nights, sure, when you order more bottles of wine than you realize and then the bill comes and you go whoa! But I don’t like waking up feeling gross. I don’t like to lose my day,” she adds when asked about what she does to stay in shape.

As for wanting children since her clock may be ticking as we speak, Cameron says that now is just not the time for that. “Look, here’s what it is. You know how you have those moments of feeling dissatisfied and you think, ‘What would make my life better?’ Well, I’ve yet to go, ‘Aha, that’s it: a child!’ I’m not saying I don’t want them, but right now I see how torn up parents get when they’re away from their kids, how guilty they feel, and I don’t want that! I don’t want to feel like I ought to be missing someone, I don’t want to not do a film at a moment’s notice… But don’t get me wrong, I’m 100 percent committed when I commit to somebody or something. I’m a full-on nurturer – that’s all I do,” she explains.

In the same interview, Diaz also talks about her upcoming film, “The Bad Teacher,” in which she stars opposite her former boyfriend Justin Timberlake. Asked about her part, Cameron says she usually plays women who are strong and stand on their own without outside help; with “The Bad Teacher,” though, she feels as if she will offend everybody. Which is a good thing, she adds laughing, because that means she won’t have to apologize to anyone.
