I feel better at 40 than I did at 25': Cameron Diaz defies her age as she shows off cleavage in new sultry men's magazine shoot

Any woman dreading the arrival of her 40th birthday can take heart from Cameron Diaz. The actress passed the milestone in August and says she feels better than she did in her mid-20s.
‘For the first time in my life I’m content,’ she told Esquire magazine.
‘I’m so excited. Getting older is the best part of life. Like, I know more than I’ve ever known.

‘I have gratitude. I know myself better. I feel more capable than ever. And as far as the physicality of it, I feel better at 40 than I did at 25.’
She demonstrated her confidence in her looks by posing revealingly for the magazine.

 

Despite her age, Miss Diaz said she could still one day have children.
‘There’s still a possibility of that, I ain't that old,’ she said. ‘Believe it or not, I’m feeling very... capable.’

Asked why she has never married, she said: ‘I’m smart! No, it’s hard to say. It just wasn’t the thing I was drawn to.
‘I certainly didn’t want it in my 20s. Or my 30s. So we’ll see.'
‘I’d always wanted to get hitched in Vegas at least three times.
'It’s funny because as my girlfriends get older, I see how their relationships have evolved, and you know, the people you’re drawn to changes.
‘I’m not attracted to the same people that I was drawn to in my 20s.’
Miss Diaz keeps her figure toned with regular Pilates sessions and has always denied rumours she uses Botox anti-wrinkle injections, despite her smooth complexion.
She said: ‘There’s no such thing as anti-ageing. You can’t go back in time.
‘So for me, it’s about living in this moment, the best that I can.
‘Contentment is about coming to terms with life as it is.’
Miss Diaz began as a fashion model before rising to fame in a series of comedies in the 1990s, including There’s Something About Mary.
This year she starred in the romantic comedy What to Expect When You’re Expecting.
