On her birthday, revisit CameronDiaz's 2006 interview with W: 'I’m a very private person, and I’ve never really sold my life to the public.'
Life wasn’t always quite this complicated for Diaz. In the top tier of Hollywood actresses, she was the blond babe who made everything look easy, the self-mocking klutz with a crooked grin who earned up to $20 million per film with little discernible effort.
It takes some effort to reconcile this combative image of Diaz with the person sitting in the gray leather booth at the Viceroy. When she’s talking about her niece, her movies, breaded chickenanything except the paparazziDiaz, who’s wearing a light gray T-shirt and slinky dark jeans, comes across as a kind of improbably sexy Lucille Ball. At one point a sip of Coke prompts an unexpected burp; she exhales clownishly over her shoulder, then starts blowing bubbles through her straw.
Diaz is not an actress you’ll ever catch discussing her “craft” or putting on airs about the dramatic process. Her preferred thespian technique? Following the director’s orders. “Really, after so many years, I like to be told what to do,” she insists. “And I want the person telling me what to do to know what they’re doing. Nancy knows.”
Though the latest nose injury occurred while surfing, Diaz is not quite the lifelong boarder she’s often made out to be. In fact, she caught her first wave less than four years ago, while taking private lessons on Oahu. The daughter of working-class parents, Diaz did spend a lot of time on the beach as a kid, but, she says, “it took two hours to get there on the bus. You stayed all day, ate corndogs. It wasn’t the ‘California Dreamin’’ thing.
