Cameron Diaz Feels Empowered Stripping Down For Photo Shoots

Cameron Diaz finds it empowering to do photo shoots where she wears barely any clothing.

The 40-year-old says she is so comfortable in her skin that she gets a buzz from stripping down to her underwear when she is modelling.

She told The Sunday Times newspaper: "It's empowering. I'm not some young girl with the photographer going, 'Will you take your clothes off?' I'm like [mimes stripping], 'How does this look?'

"They're like, 'Today we're not going to put anything other than bras and heels on you,' and I'm like, 'These heels are not high enough.'

Cameron claimed that her years in the industry means that she is well aware of what works for herself.

She continued: "I'm a woman, I know how to handle myself. I know what I feel comfortable doing and I know my sexuality."

The actress, rather controversially, thinks it is healthy for women to want to be objectified. She added: "I think every woman does want to be objectified. There's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think its healthy."

Cameron also shared that she feels bad for the young stars just started out today and feels bad for the pressure they are put under to make the right choices.

She added: "I wouldn't have survived it. Nobody in their twenties can. That's when you do all your stupid s**t. You're supposed to be an idiot. You're supposed to get drunk, or go out with a guy who's terrible for you."
