Cameron Diaz Opens Up About Body Image
The Singapore Women\'s Weekly|June 2016

Cameron Diaz comes back after the success of her first book to help answer the question of every woman - how to wear your age with power and pride.

Cameron Diaz Opens Up About Body Image

She’s been a Charlie’s Angel, an ogre Princess and a lovable girl-nextdoor on the big screen. But unlike the glamorous world of Botox, face-lifts and Hollywood perfection she was heralded from, the bronzed beauty marches to the beat of a different drum. Instead of desperately trying to hold on to the grains of sand in the hourglass called life and trying to preserve every bit of youth she can, Cameron believes that ageing is a natural phenomenon that shows you’ve lived.

Cameron remembers her 20s with disdain. And now entering her 40s, with the information she amassed over the years about nutrition and fitness, the actress is proud to proclaim that she is 43 years young and going through, a “mid-life celebration”. Believing in the power of attitude more than anything else, Cameron strives to share her philosophy on the ageing body and hopes to reverse the adverse connotations associated with it.

With change, comes uncertainty and a fear for the unknown. Cameron notes that this is the fear of ageing which she hopes to shed light on and eradicate in her new book, The Longevity Book, which debuted at number two on the nY Times Bestsellers List in the Advice category.

Coming back from the success of her first book, The Body Book, the actress is back with a second book. She hopes to usher in a new generation of women not just proud of their bodies but in full understanding of how they work and how to stay young in spirit.

How does The Longevity Book differ from The Body Book?
