Cameron Diaz still open to motherhood
Cameron Diaz refuses to rule out her chances of becoming a mom in her 40s because she is confident she will be a "capable" parent later in life.
The Charlie's Angels star, who has dated Justin Timberlake and baseball star Alex Rodriguez, previously confessed her plans for a life of domesticity were dashed when she landed her breakout role in The Mask at the age of 21, and marriage and babies quickly took a backseat to her film career.
Since turning 40 in August (12), single Cameron Diaz admits her
priorities haven't really changed and she is still not that keen on
getting married.
She tells Esquire magazine, "It (marriage) just wasn't the thing I
was drawn to. I certainly didn't want it in my 20s. Or my 30s."
But that doesn't mean Diaz is not interested in having kids, and
she reveals she wouldn't be opposed to adoption if that's the path
her life takes.
She says, "I don't need to have the children in my life be a part
of my literal flesh. And anyway, there's still a possibility of
that, I ain't that old. I'm feeling very... capable."
And Cameron Diaz insists she's happier now than she has ever been
before: "Contentment is about coming to terms with life as it is,
rather than getting all p**sed off that things didn't fit into your
little prescribed box."
The actress' plans for kids may be influenced by her best pal,
newlywed Drew Barrymore, who gave birth to a baby girl named Olive
last week (26Sep12).
