Cameron Diaz Wants To 'Live To 110' To Spend Time With Her Daughter

Cameron Diaz is embracing motherhood at the age of 49! And she even wants to spend 50 or 60 more years with her kid.

The actress appeared on a podcast with GOOP founder and her longtime friend Gwyneth Paltrow and discussed her life as an older mother.

"The whole concept of aging has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years," said Diaz, who shares 2-year-old daughter Raddix with her husband Benji Madden.

"It's totally opened up. I'm excited. I've got 50 or 60 years to go — I want to live to be 110, since I've got a young child," she added. "I think you have this amazing moment in your 40s where you appreciate who your parents are, and I want to have that moment with her — be there with her in her 40s."

She hopes the genes she inherited from her family would actually help her turn her wish into a reality.

"My family's from sturdy stock. My grandmother was running around in the hot San Fernando Valley sun at 72, hauling big bags of rabbit feed and chicken feed around. I think I've got some of that," she revealed. "And as is true for most people, I think how I look and feel is some combination of what I do and what I don't do."

But, despite being "the oldest mom in my group of girlfriends with kids," the "Bad Teacher" actress is grateful for the support she receives from the people around her.

"I'm lucky to be my age, lucky to have those girlfriends, lucky to have my daughter, lucky to have all the support I do raising her," she said.

Earlier this month, while on "The Kelly Clarkson Show", "The Mask" actress spoke candidly about the challenges and rewards of parenting.

Even though Diaz shared that motherhood is "the best thing I've ever done in life," she revealed that there have been times when she lost her cool with her daughter. But, when she is in those moments, she does her "mom checklist" and tries to understand what Raddix might be feeling.

"Did she eat? Is she tired? What time is it? When was the last time she ate? When did she nap? You just kind of start there, and you go, 'What just happened? Is there something she's trying to communicate to me?'" Diaz explained. "And I feel like as a parent, my job is to just help her find the words to her emotions, her experience, what she's going through and be able to help her identify that and move through it."

However, moments like these can be "challenging," admitted Diaz.

"But you know what's also really imperative — to repair. Like if you do blow up, just to repair that and say, 'Oh my God, mommy lost her s---' And, 'I didn't mean to say that to you. If I hurt your feelings or if I upset you, I just want you to know that mommy's human too,'" the actress said.
