Cameron Diaz is one of the most beautiful and attractive women in the world. She has had affairs with famous men, and she has had so many admirers! Despite this, she remained single for a long time. Therefore, the news that 43-year-old Cameron Diaz was going to get married excited both her fans and the press.
Cameron’s eccentric character was known far beyond Hollywood. The superstar, who owned millions of dollars, could afford to be a bad girl and do whatever she wanted. She was known for her eccentric antics and provocative behavior, and it seemed that she only enjoyed the press coverage of it. As if teasing journalists, Cameron talked about her men and how she loved to use them.
Who could tame this tigress who ate her lovers for breakfast?
It turned out to be rock musician Benji Madden.
An explosive mixture of passion and energy
Cameron was sixteen years old and already working full-time as a model, or “coat hanger,” as some people called her. While her peers were poring over textbooks, Cameron was either walking the runway or posing for a photographer. Cameron didn’t care where she worked, as long as she didn’t have to return to the unloved and disadvantaged area of San Diego.
There were no prospects in a city where Latinos, African Americans and other internationals lived. Almost all of Cameron’s peers were already pregnant. Everyone smoked weed, and some even smoked something heavier. Most went to rehab, and some even passed away.
That’s why sixteen-year-old Cameron tried her best to earn at least two thousand dollars a week. The young model never tired of thanking fate for meeting photographer Jeff Dunas, who noticed her in a bar and gave her a business card of the modeling agency “Elite”.
Being underage, Cameron could have missed this chance, because her mother did not agree to sign a contract with a modeling agency. Billie Diaz was of English and German descent, and she had the restraint and primness inherent in these nations.
The contract was signed by her father, a hot Cuban who had worked as an oilman all his life. Emilio Diaz decided not to deprive his daughter of a chance for another life: interesting and bright. It was her father’s temperament, passion, and emotionality that Cameron was born with. From her mother she got her European appearance, dryness, and slenderness.
The Road to Show Business
Working as a model, Cameron traveled half the world and did not waste time: she enjoyed life, had fun, had affairs. And in 1993, she decided to try herself in cinema and went to audition for the film “The Mask”. Cameron beat all her rivals, professional actresses, and got this role, without any experience or acting education.
The Mask created a sensation in Hollywood.
Cameron was talked about as the most beautiful, attractive and, undoubtedly, talented actress. She herself did a lot of work on herself. She left the modeling agency, studied at an acting school. The aspiring star was showered with offers from various directors and producers.
But fame also turned into failure in his personal life.
Unable to bear Cameron’s popularity, Carlos De La Torre, her then lover, broke up with her. After five years of relationship, he simply up and left. And since then, Cameron has divided all men into real men and weaklings.
Although the girl did not take the breakup too seriously. Work kept coming up: roles in films, scripts, interviews, press conferences, receptions. The star had a crazy schedule: there was no time to suffer. And there were always men hanging around who could not remain indifferent to Cameron.
Cameron’s Personal Life
Two years after “The Mask”, Cameron Diaz was invited to star in the film “Feeling Minnesota”. At the same time, the actress met Matt Dillon, who was already a serious actor. Their romance was fast and bright. They lived together for two years, and could break away and fly to each other at any time.
They traveled a lot, were keen on surfing. But soon Diaz became much more popular and in demand than Matt, and he couldn’t stand it either.
Another weakling in her life.
Meanwhile, the actress’s portfolio includes such films as “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”, “Being John Malkovich”, and “There’s Something About Mary”.
Almost immediately, Cameron plunged into a new romance – with Jared Leto. He was a handsome and brutal man, famous for his numerous love affairs. He actively acted in films and made music. But he could also withdraw into himself and meditate, which Cameron did not understand at all.
Besides, he didn’t like parties and preferred to immerse himself in melancholy once again. He was a vegetarian and led an absolutely healthy lifestyle. It became very difficult for energetic Cameron with such a man.
In 2003, he proposed to Diaz, but when he saw her next to Leonardo DiCaprio (the actress was then filming with him in Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York), he became jealous and vented his anger. And then he compared her to a bare electrical wire and dumped her.
Cameron Diaz’s energy could only be tolerated on the set. Here, her passion, emotionality and tenacity were vital. She almost always worked without stunt doubles, performing dangerous stunts on her own. Cameron wanted the same emotions in her relationships with men, but no one could withstand the actress’s inner fire.
And she, like a madwoman, took risks and did crazy things. For example, she started an affair with the twenty-two-year-old teen idol Justin Timberlake, despite the fact that she herself was already thirty-one. True, he turned out to be a cowardly neurasthenic, afraid even of mice! In general, their temperaments again turned out to be too opposite, and even the fact that Justin asked her to marry him did not save the relationship.
While Cameron worked tirelessly and had affairs in between filming, her biological clock was ticking. She was already forty years old, and now journalists were more interested not in her affairs, but in when she would get married and start having children.
At first, Cameron chuckled, replying that she was happy in her self-worth.
And once she declared herself childfree. But when her best friend Drew Barrymore got married for the third time and became pregnant, Diaz became worried. She looked at herself in the mirror and realized that the charming Cameron was becoming a thing of the past.
There are fewer fans now, and the competition is so strong that it is impossible to cope. There are a lot of young and beautiful actresses! This is what made Cameron forget about bars and night parties and take up a healthy lifestyle.
She even wrote a book in which she gave recommendations on proper nutrition and body care. She herself switched to almost only fruits and vegetables and spent four hours a day in the gym. Even her latest boyfriend, baseball player Alex Rodriguez, couldn’t stand such a regime.
Benji Madden Tamed Cameron Diaz
The story of their affair could well serve as a plot for a script for some comedy melodrama. After yet another party, Cameron was returning home, and a drunk Joel Madden, the husband of Nicole Richie, Cameron’s friend, followed her.
On the way, the actress did not watch the speed of the car and drove through the night Los Angeles so that the poor guy simply pressed himself into the seat from fear. Cameron was amused by this, and she only stepped on the gas, laughing heartily. Having driven up to Richie’s mansion, Cameron suddenly slowed down and called her friend. How surprised she was when she found out that Joel was sleeping peacefully next to his wife!
That’s when Cameron remembered that Joel, the musician from the band “Good Charlotte”, has a twin brother. It turns out that he was the one lying in her car, dead drunk and pale from her crazy driving.
Leaving the poor guy with her brother, Cameron went on to drive around Los Angeles, fully convinced that he was another weakling. This is exactly the story Cameron told, bursting into laughter, to her bosom friend Drew Barrymore.
Even though Drew was married and raising daughters, she and her friend would often hang out to have another laugh and trash talk. However, their meetings no longer took place in bars, as they used to, but in Drew’s kitchen.
Cameron was taken completely by surprise when Benji called her a few days later. This weakling was asking her out on a date, but not to a restaurant or a museum. He was inviting her to Disneyland to ride the “hellish carousel.” Rumor had it that only the most desperate could get on these carousels, and there weren’t even two of them in a day. It wasn’t like driving around Los Angeles!
Of course, Cameron was scared. But how could she show her fear? She understood that the rocker had decided to take revenge on her for that humiliation. Well, no, she would not give him that pleasure!
And Cameron accepted the challenge.
The actress hadn’t cursed like that for a long time, probably never in her life. But it was better to scream, because it helped her overcome her fear. Cameron was sure of one thing: she had never experienced such emotions, no wonder the controller looked at them like they were crazy.
And Benji said after that that he had never met such a brave and selfless girl.
Needless to say, this was the beginning of a whirlwind romance?
Everyone around was surprised: Benji was not the hero of her novel at all. They even differed in appearance. She was beautiful, slim, tall.
He is short, with a beer belly and a body that is covered in tattoos.
But they were both extreme sports enthusiasts.
They were united by frantic energy, passion and vitality. It is not surprising that a few months later the lovers announced their engagement, and immediately after the New Year celebrated a magnificent wedding.
The first few years of their relationship were marred only by the lack of children, and the couple seriously considered adopting a child from an orphanage. But in 2019, Cameron gave birth to a daughter. In order for the long-awaited baby to be born, Cameron left her career and underwent IVF.
Now the actress is happy, dreams of another child – a son. She still acts in films, though not as often. And she constantly reminds everyone that her husband is the best!
