Cameron Diaz never thought of marrying after 40
The 43-year-old Other Woman actress, who is married to Benji Madden, said tying the knot at this age took her by surprise, reported US magazine.
Â
"I got married last year. That was the biggest thing I've done in my 40s, and it opened me up in different ways. It's pretty awesome. I didn't think it was something I'd do, and I don't know if I'd have done it if I hadn't met my husband. It was a surprise," Diaz said.
Â
Before her marriage, Diaz famously dated celebrities including Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and Alex Rodriguez.
Â
Apart from getting married at 40, what surprised the actress was the way her body, her metabolism and physiology have changed.
Â
"Your body changes in so many little ways. It doesn't react the same way that it used to. I don't get the results that I used to as easily as I once did.
Â
"Now I look at myself and I realize, 'Oh, right. I'm in this time now in my life where I have to be thoughtful. If I slack off, things don't come back so easily. I have to be committed.'," she said.
