Cameron Diaz Previously Claimed Motherhood Changed Her ‘Whole Concept Of Aging’
According to People magazine, the 51-year-old actress was not perturbed by the fact that she’s an older mom as she disclosed in a 2022 appearance on “GOOP” podcast that motherhood had changed her “whole concept of aging.”
“The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years,” Diaz told the company’s founder and her longtime friend, actress Gwyneth Paltrow.
“It’s totally opened up. I’m excited. I’ve got 50 or 60 years to go — I want to live to be 110 since I’ve got a young child,” Diaz added.
The Actress Gushed About Her Daughter Radix
Speaking on the podcast, Diaz also spoke about her daughter Radix and how much she appreciates spending time with her.
“I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her — be there with her in her 40s,” Diaz said of Radix.
At some point during the conversation, the “Bad Teacher” actress also shared her gratitude for the support she receives in life despite being “the oldest mom in my group of girlfriends with kids.”
“I’m lucky to be my age, lucky to have those girlfriends, lucky to have my daughter, lucky to have all the support I do raising her,” she noted.
Cameron Diaz Returns To Acting
Having stepped away from the spotlight to focus on her family with Madden and start her Avaline wine company, Diaz is now easing back to the big screen and is set to star in an upcoming movie that’ll feature Keanu Reeves and Jonah Hill.
Apple Original Films recently announced Tuesday that Diaz, who hasn’t made any movies since she portrayed Miss Hannigan in 2014’s “Annie,” is in final negotiations to co-star with Reeves and Hill in the dark comedy “Outcome,” which Hill is billed to direct.
According to People, Reeves will star as Reef, a man described as “a damaged Hollywood star who must dive into the dark depths of his past to confront his demons and make amends after he is extorted with a mysterious video clip from his past.”
Hill will seemingly direct and star in the movie, which he co-wrote with screenwriter Ezra Woods.
