Bridget Jones from California
August 30, Cameron Diaz turns 38 years old, but for Americans, she is still a typical girl next door, a girl-neighbor. Journalists sing praises to her beauty, without forgetting to calculate in what proportions genes need to be mixed to get such appearance: a quarter of German blood, a fourth of English, a quarter of Spanish, very little - Negro and Indian, exclusively piquant for the sake of. Although for classical beauty Diaz has, perhaps, too much mouth and small breasts, and yet - complete inability to "keep a face": definitely, she did not have a grandmother in her childhood who constantly demanded that the girl "not grimace, or wrinkles appear". Cam "everything is so sudden, everything is contradictory." She tells that she is quite happy with her body and shows it with pleasure, she is surprised why her fashionable photographer, when she was sixteen, noticed that she was "skeleton". She confesses that she does not consider herself a feminist and that the limit of her dreams is to prepare pasta for her beloved, then she says with full confidence: "A woman does not need a man to feel herself a full-fledged and accomplished person. I'm not afraid to be alone. " That she interferes with vodka with champagne and smokes on a pack a day, then with ecstasy spends hours in the gym and is fond of healthy food. The most interesting is that she does not seem to be lying at all. All this works perfectly for the image of a close but charming blonde, the favorite of children and parents. True, firstly, a real fool would never admit that she was such a fool. And Diaz with a firm smile says: "Only one thought lingers in my head at a time. I feel good, but I think - so-so. " According to her, she could not even learn the native language of her own father - Spanish - because of her inherent inability to learn. Again cunning, of course: at school she had quite decent marks. And, secondly, Cameron is not blond at all. She has blond hair. But any Californian girl (Diaz comes from San Diego) at least once in a life is clarified - the neighborhood of Hollywood can not but leave an imprint. Cameron has one more quality, for which not only guys but also their friends love her: she is imperfect. She is still afraid to walk on high heels - almost every solemn exit on the hairpin for it is fraught with a dislocation or stretching. And other things do not really listen to her: "I always lose something, I break it, I'm always late. Laces on shoes stop when I cord them in a panic rush, a brush of mascara always get in the eye. " On her only plastic surgery Cam decided only because the nose threatened to completely lose form - his actress broke four times, thanks to a passionate passion for surfing. And she constantly and unsuccessfully tries to work on herself like the notorious Bridget Jones: "I always give myself on New Year's Eve the same promise - to get rid of my sins: do not swear, wear bras and stop buying everything in the stores that comes to hand . And each time my resolve is less than a month and a half. " And that's how you do not like her?
Bunny from the cover
Not only that Cameron Diaz does not wear bras, so even without excessive coquetry, he admits this. Fads of an indiscreet movie star? No, the features of growing up. Everyone thinks that I'm trying to make some kind of fashion statement. Actually it's because in my heart I'm still a patsanka. Cameron is a man's name, and it was the boy who was expected by the family of Emilio Diaz, an employee of the California oil company UNOCAL, after the birth of his eldest daughter, Jimena. And the girl was born again. However, she grew up, for the joy of the Pope, a tomboy, able to shut up any boy for the belt. If someone doubted it, he immediately received convincing evidence in the form of a good shake: Dad always told me: if you are called to fight after class, answer that there is no need to wait - you can kick ass right now! The future star of up to fourteen years looked like Tom Sawyer, unlike his older sister, who got the role of a "good girl". Cam's favorite pastime was cycling and skateboarding around the block - movies and books were somewhere in the 48th place among her hobbies. She early enough to become a zoologist and dragged home a whole zoo: cats, dogs, birds and even a couple of two-meter snakes, for the feeding of which a brave girl bred mice. She and now can not live without pets - favorite cats during filming live in Diaz in the trailer. In her teens, Cameron, like thousands of her peers, was fond of heavy rock, but her parents did not mind: my mother even accompanied her thirteen-year-old daughter to the concerts of Van Halen and Ozzy Osbourne. On the sixteenth birthday, my father gave Cam a van "Volkswagen Camper", a real mini-tank on four wheels, which housed a dozen of her friends and girlfriends. "I drove the car to eighty miles an hour," Diaz remembers. - It was so big that no one could ride next to her. But my father told me: "Do not get drunk, you have to answer for it." I was not going to threaten my friends, so I was careful with alcohol. And I felt that I needed somewhere to direct my energy so that it would not blow me from the inside ... ". A suitable application for the "energetic girl", by the age of sixteen, which had grown to almost a meter or eighty, was found quickly: at one of the parties a long-legged laughter was spotted by the photographer Jeff Dunas - and could hardly push her business card into the girl, because Cameron decided that this was a joke . They can not seriously offer this contract with the world's largest fashion agency Elite. Now she admits that the model from her came out not so hot. Despite the shooting in advertising Nivea and Coca-Cola, the appearance on the covers of youth magazines, travel around the world - from Japan to Morocco - Diaz for a long time remained just another girl from the cover. To work for twenty-five hours a day, like her famous colleagues, as well as go to bed with anyone for her career, Cam was clearly not ready. Why do you need work if you do not get pleasure from it? Therefore, accidentally discovered on the table of her agent script "Masks" (required a lowly model for the role of restaurant singer Tina Carlyle) was the chance in which our blonde clung to her teeth. She even agreed to learn how to dance and wear a bra with silicone inserts - for breast augmentation, which Cameron has more than modest size. In the end, she became the "discovery of the year" and moved to Los Angeles. And rightly - honestly on the heart, this walking fireworks must be watched in dynamics, and not in the glossy static of fashion catalogs. By the way, you do not notice in the history of growing up Cameron oddities? She has an incredibly happy childhood. Neither parental alcoholism, no beatings, no escapes from the house, no half-criminal street companies, not even a divorce of the pope with his mother! Cam has only a harmonious loving family, a strong marriage of parents, full support of older relatives in everything that only a fanciful little girl conceived: from breeding snakes to modeling careers. And Cameron understands this: "I and my sister were very lucky with parents - people very confident in themselves, with a positive attitude to life and everything that happens in it. The main "tool" for our upbringing was trust. This gradually made us more responsible and self-confident. I have learned to trust myself in making vital decisions and not to regret them, even if everything turned out differently from what I expected. " That piece of sun that Cameron wears and generously shares with others, comes from her childhood. She is from the breed of really happy people - those who do not need a full set of specially invented conditions for happiness, because it is always with them. Therefore, men are constantly circling around it, like the planets around the sun: everyone loves happy.
Everyone is crazy about Cam
In relationships with men, Cam is as sunny, natural and easy as in everything else. She very simply starts new novels and just completes them elementary, without falling into depression and not regretting the past. She knows how to be a devoted and gentle lover, but if the next chosen one turns out to be another "wrong", he does not begin to assert that all muzhiks are horned cloven-hoofed. Modeled youth Diaz was not overshadowed by an abundance of dirty stories - a consequence of all the same education and awareness of responsibility for their actions: "I never wanted to make regulars of night clubs my best friends." One photo shoot in the nude, made for the portfolio and sold to the magazine by an unscrupulous photographer, and the appearance in the third-rate soft porn (the genre soft implies that actors do not have sex, but only simulate sexual intercourse), just for the opportunity to know the taste of the set, that's all the naughty incidents, which led to Cam her blond, but prudent head. Her first big love was the video producer Carlos De La Torre, whom they met at one of the bohemian parties. The gallant Latin American conquered the girl at first sight, reminding her charming relatives on the paternal line. Communication lasted five years - Cameron prefers long-term relationships and serious men. However, Carlos was even too serious: in one of the first ever interviews, the actress admitted that she could try to talk through the days of her silent bridegroom. To the extrovert Cam, this state of affairs was agonizing. So it did not come not only before the wedding, but even before the engagement. Cam with a deafening success starred in the "Mask" and preferred to conquer the Hollywood peaks alone. After the first comedic role, Cameron decided to gain professionalism, starring in an independent film: if she turns out to be a talentless actress, then her failure will be noticed not by broad spectators, but at best by a bunch of festival public. During the filming of one of these films, a very decent thriller "Feeling Minnesota" (for us this picture is also valuable because it can see the young Keanu Reeves), the actress met Matt Dillon, at that time - already a celebrity. Acquaintance was rather peculiar: the actors exchanged phones, promising to phone, and did not remember each other for almost a year. The fact that they lived in different cities: Dillon - in New York, Diaz - in Los Angeles. Whoever rang the first to whom - the story is silent, but since this time, many hours of talking on the phone have become a real ritual of two friends, however, soon more than friends. Matt became for Cam a real guru, as a more experienced colleague, but the "teacher-student" relationship, as is often the case, quickly evolved into a love affair. And, as it happens no less often, lovers could not part with the usual roles. Matt was jealous of her friend's popularity: she was recognized on the streets more often, and even after the stupid but incredibly successful comedy "Everyone is crazy about Mary," where the couple co-starred, all the glory went to Diaz. To support the shaken self-confidence, Dillon got into an affair for an affair, not disdaining any young fool, who dreamed to get into his bed. However, caught in its network of fish and larger - Mariah Carey, for example. Although no one officially announced the reasons why the couple decided to part after two years of relationship, it was clear to the Hollywood gossipers: no girl, even with Cameron's easy character, will endure such a long time. Now Cam explains the gap with the constant employment of both - given that all her men were creative personalities in love with her work, and the actress herself is not a princess at all, the motive can be summed up at the end of all her novels. Although in fact, of course, everything is much more complicated. Jared Leto, an actor and rock star, leader of the popular 30 Seconds To Mars band, from the same enthusiastic natures. Cam met him soon after the break with Dillon and fell in love all the same recklessly, laughing at idiotic rumors that this languid beauty is probably gay, like all the languid beauties. As it was said in one old film, everyone has his own shortcomings. The summer was not gay, but it was harder for a man to get far from Cam. They were a strangely harmonious couple: a closed feminine youth and an energetic girl-girl; A convinced vegetarian and an animal rights advocate and an avid smoker, a lover of steaks and natural furs; a well-read intellectual and a frivolous coquette, obsessed with fashionable shoes. Jared and remained for Cameron a mystery, despite the fact that two years out of four that they were together, they held in the status of the bride and groom. On the one hand, it was easy and interesting with him, on the other - it's never clear what will happen to him in the head in the next moment. When the actor starred in the film "Requiem for a Dream" as a drug addict, he had to lose twelve kilograms and get a darker look - and Jared did not enough to switch to the same water with lemon, so he refused to do sex with Cam. And so two months. In addition, he was monstrously jealous - at his request Diaz refused to shoot in films with scenes of sex or just exposure. One of the reasons for the break was shooting Cameron in "Gangs of New York": supposedly Summer jealous of the bride to Leo DiCaprio, a note Hollywood heartthrob who prefers blondes. Although Cam says that the whole thing is again in the work - Jared created a group and preferred to engage in creativity, not relationships. Which, however, did not stop him later twist novels with Paris Hilton, Ashley Olsen and Lindsay Lohan.
A break up
In the year of the break with Summer, Cameron turned 31 years old, and Hollywood gossips just opened their mouths when Diaz conquered the dream of all American girls - Justin Timberlake. The eight-year age difference did not bother, but on the contrary - terribly flattered ex-groom Britney Spears. The whole world followed this novel. When news of the couple did not appear, they came up with. On one of these cases, Cameron says: "My sister was getting married, and I went with Justin to the wedding. On the road, they never stopped and, naturally, did not go anywhere, so as not to lead a tail behind them. The next day, my mother sent me a whole story about how Justin and I went to the 7-11 department store, where I danced under Cry Me a River, which was heard from the radio. Dancing, I lost my shoe. And Justin laughed at me and said I was crazy. Then the store employee asked us to give him an autograph, and we gave, and everyone was happy. I think it's the most absurd story I've ever read about myself. " Timberlake even made an official visit to the house of Diaz's parents - to ask her hands and hearts for all the old-fashioned rules. Together, the lovers went through fire, water and filthy scandal when a photographer John Rutter decided to blackmail the actress with a film with soft porn in which she starred in youth and stupidity, but received only four years in prison. Weddings waited from day to day. But it was not destined to take place. New Year 2007 Cameron and Justin met separately, and a few months later issued a statement about the end of the novel: "Our romantic relationship really ended, but during this time we became closest friends and continue to respect each other." Subsequently, Timberlake complained that in the end he began to interfere with the same difference in age, which he was initially proud of: Cameron no, no, and tried to patronize his lover, and his role as a younger brother did not suit. But Cam knows how not to spoil relations with his former ones, and he and Justin can chat to this day, occasionally meeting in crowded places.
Death of the father
Two years ago, Cameron Diaz died a beloved father who once taught her not to let down the offenders and think about the consequences of their actions, and her attitude toward life became more serious. In her current plans there is a place if not for the family, then at least the offspring: "I am at the age when the desire to have children is getting stronger and stronger. There are a lot of kids around without parents, and I'm not against being adopted by someone who needs custody and love. " A sensible solution for a woman whose admirers come and go, but an infinite supply of love remains unclaimed. Her future children will be very lucky with her mother.
