Cameron Diaz: 'Life is better as you get older'

Cameron Diaz has revealed that she enjoys getting older because "life gets better".

The There's Something About Mary star, who is dating baseball play Alex Rodriguez, insisted that she has got "stronger" with age.

"I love getting older. In my 20s, I wanted to be in my 30s. Now I'm not afraid of my 40s. The other day this kid of 22 asked if I was afraid of 40. I was like, 'Don't be afraid, son!'" she told Metro.

"Life is so much better as you get older. You're liberated from so many things. I feel stronger, more capable, more fulfilled than when I was 29, 30, 35."

Diaz shows off her youthful figure in her new movie Bad Teacher.

Talking about her sexy car-washing scene in film, in which she is seen wearing very small shorts, Diaz added: "By the way, sliding around on a wet car is very dangerous. Do not try it."
