Cameron Diaz: ‘getting older lets me be sexier and more confident’

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has said she loves getting older as it allows her to get sexier and more confident.

The 37-year-old star, whose new movie The Box will soon be released, said that she doesn’t mind the fact she is approaching 40.

Asked if she is sad to be taking on more mature roles, she said to UK magazine Look: “No, I love getting older! I feel more self-possessed, which I think allows you to be more sexy, more confident.

“It’s also natural that as I get older I play mothers and wives and be part of different kinds of films. Women are obsessed with looking young, but what about the innocence of youth?

“The thing to envy in young people is not how they look but their innocence.”
