Already “too old” at 52?
We are widely aware of the phenomenon of ageism and its repercussions on our society. Exclusion of women over 40 from various professional fields, all-out prejudices, uninhibited sexism, preconceived ideas about personal and sexual life, as if already existing discrimination were exacerbated… Just look at how female stars quadras, quinquas, sexes and more are treated. In front of the cameras, and elsewhere.
But Cameron Diaz decided to throw everything into disarray, on a complex level. The one who had to leave Hollywood for 10 years to treat her mental health – she notably retrained… in the wine industry! – today finds herself celebrated for her self-confidence displayed beyond the fifty-year mark. While she is making her big comeback in the cinema, the star of The Mask and Charlie's Angels appears without filter, without retouching… And women are happy about it.
“Wrinkles in the stars, finally! It's yes! She is so beautiful!”, “Aging so beautifully is the new fashion! We're tired of botoxed babes everywhere!”rejoice, for example, Gala readers on Instagram. What to nail the beaks of the cads?
But that's not all…
“Wrinkles suit Cameron Diaz”: the star of The Mask freer than ever at over 50?
Under his videos of his arrival on the red carpet (Cameron Diaz is with Jamie Foxx, for the premiere of his brand new film Back In Action), we can still read: “She's natural with her wrinkles”, “Wrinkles suit Cameron Diaz, she's charming“.
The star of The Mask freer than ever?
-We hope so for her anyway. She seems to be following in the footsteps of fulfilled sisters, like Salma Hayek, Nicole Kidman…
Even if certain comments, such as an echo of the remarks made to celebrities like Kidman (whose reception at certain festivals turns into relentlessness), Demi Moore, and many others, hardly seem sources of sorority to the extent that they openly target actresses who have resorted to cosmetic surgery.
Between botox shaming (a term that we decipher for you here) and even more global sexism – when Nicole Kidman appears in lingerie at almost 60 years old and annoys the machos for example. It's always sad to see certain personal choices criticized when it comes simply to advocating women's freedom.
On this subject, nothing is clearer than these words from an iconic star of the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer: “What if we stopped focusing on women's appearance? Did she do this to herself, did she do this to herself, or not?“This is what Charisma Carpenter denounces, continuing: “In fact, if I wanted to retouch my face, have a lift, well… I would! If I do surgery, people will tell me: ohlala, she did it too?!… But if I don't do surgery, they will tell me the opposite: she looks like sh*t rde, right?“
A powerful and honest testimony to be found in full here. Which seems to fit Cameron Diaz's “self love” mentality.
“For me, this long break that I had to take away from Hollywood was just something I had to do to get my own life back in control. I didn't care about other people's opinions“, the actress recently testified about her introspective journey through the desert at age 40, during this very personal speech. “I had decided to take care of myself and build the life I really wanted to have. And taking care of myself is all I cared about!“.
A kindness towards herself that the public seems to reciprocate.
