Cameron Diaz thinks being married for decades is “bullsh-t”

knight_and_day_uk_premiere_3_wenn2934157

Here are some photos of Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise at the London premiere of Knight and Day. They’ve been in Europe all week trying to squeeze every last drop of box office from European audiences. While I thought yesterday that Camy seemed like she was phoning it in, style-wise and slouching-wise (to make wee Cruise look bigger), now I kind of think she was saving her big guns for the British papers. Look at this killer sweater dress! If you’re going to wear a sweater dress, this is the one to choose, and you should only do it if you look like Camy. I’m in love with this dress on her, she looks amazing. Yes, it’s short, and veering to vadge-flasher, but if you’re going to do a look that is all about the legs, do it this way – with everything else covered, and have the fit loose but still body-conscious. An all-round winner, in my opinion. The pale silver-grey-blue pops too. Love. It.

While in the UK, Camy spoke to Stylist Magazine about her thoughts on relationships and love. Predictably, Camy is still in a “I’ll do whatever the f-ck I want” mood – in several of her last major interviews, Camy seemed over the idea of “true love” and romance and all of that, instead explaining how she “travels for c-ck” and loves animal, caveman sex.

Cameron Diaz, who is always traveling for c*ck, tells UK’s Stylist magazine she is not looking for long-term love.

“I think the big misconception in our society is that we’re supposed to meet the one when we’re 18 and we’re supposed to get married to them and love them for the rest of our lives. Bulls**t,” she said.

Cameron has dated Justin Timberlake and Matt Dillon and was recently linked to Alex Rodriguez.

“Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years?” she said in the interview with Stylist. “Why not break it up a little bit? I think people get freaked out about getting married and spending 20 or 30 years sleeping with the same person but if that’s the case, don’t do it. Have someone for five years and another person for another five years. Life is long and lucky and yes, love might last forever, but you don’t always live with the person you love forever.”

Well… okay. That’s her theory. Personally, I roll my eyes at the 18-year-olds who think they’ve found their one true love FOREVER and ever, but I don’t extend that belief to “no couple can survive decades, ever.” But is that really what Camy is saying? I think she’s just trying to explain herself, how she views her relationships, like she’s always on her five-year plan. It’s not the worst plan, honestly. But a little romance wouldn’t hurt!

    work it ms.diaz…u know what thomas is aging really well i guess Xenu does a face good

  2. LindaR says:

    I don’t believe a word of it. She constantly dates men that don’t consider her a long term committment, she lives in Hollyweird where marriages don’t last longer than 5 years. It’s face-saving talk. Certainly there are lots of people that don’t want to be with the same person forever, but I don’t think she means it. She just can’t find anyone that wants her for a very long time.

  3. locagirl says:

    She’s only hating on long term relationships because she can’t find one herself….. She is so annoying in everything I’ve ever read.

  4. celandine says:

    Divorce happens, and it sucks, but actively sticking a “Best Before” date on a relationship without working at it seems kinda lame. That said, I respect her opinion up to a point – the point at which a couple chooses to have kids, because munchkins need stability.

    Then again, maybe no-one can put up with Cammy for more than 5 years?

  5. Sally says:

    She looks fantastic!!

  6. lisa says:

    The dress is a tad short.. BUT she looks amazing in it. The only problem I have with this look is her hair. She never seems to know what to do with her hair. The pony tail on this dress just makes the look one step below where it should.

    regarding relationships. I think she and Drew maybe even Katie have a issue. But they like to date. And they do it a lot. I agree that people don’t have to stay together for life. If it works for you then that is great. But she has this arrogance about it as if she is so above it. That is the problem I have with her. I had always thought she was owning her “singlehood”

    Maybe I was wrong..

  7. SammyHammy says:

    She’s just useless, IMHO. Mediocre actress, weird face, aging poorly and embittered because she can’t find real love.

  8. émerveillement says:

    I totally agree with her, and admire her sincerity in this world of constant lying that is Hollywood.
    I like the fact she is totally free in the way she lives her life and openly speaks about it !

    (sorry for the mistakes, English is NOT my mother tongue)

  9. jzhz says:

    I totally agree with her, too. It’s nice to hear someone get the fact that not all of us have to live our lives same exact (boring) way. I don’t want the suburban nightmare, either, Cam! If more women admitted their true feelings to themselves, there’d be more happy women…

    Maybe some of the hate is resentment of her because she’s comfortable being herself, and doing what’s right for HER.

  10. Johnthing says:

    Her nose is getting longer and her mouth is getting wider.

  11. emv says:

    If this were any other person saying this I may think that they are true in saying this as their opinion.However, since it is coming from Diaz, IMO she is just hating on people that have long term relationships. I never wanted to get married or have kids until I met my husband. I think she has not met the right person to share her life with. Divorce happens everywhere, and so does marriage and it will continue to happen as long as people want to do it. I have no problem with people wanting to live their lives the way that they want to, but stop hating on people who live their lives differently from yours. I think she is probably a sad woman deep down; or maybe she is just jaded.

    That being said, she looks amazing!

  12. mslewis says:

    I have a feeling Ms. Diaz is trying to talk herself into something!!

    Any relationship requires work and perhaps she doesn’t want to put in the hours. Fair enough. But, really, she sounds like someone about to hit middle age and trying to explain to herself why no man seems to want her as a life partner.

    Whatever . . . she looks fabulous!!

  13. masonwasp says:

    I respect her honesty. I think a lot of people get married because they are at a certain point in their lives and it’s the logical next step. But marriage is hard, and it doesn’t work for most couples these days.

    I’ve been with the same guy for 20 years, and it’s ultimately been a good thing. But it takes a lot of sacrifice and commitment. If that’s not for you, at least be honest about it.

  14. snappyfish says:

    Okay, I must be missing something, and I rarely miss fashion. Her legs look amazing..absolutely amazing. I think the sequins dress up the sweater but I think in a darker color with a straight neckline would make the dress more elegant.

    It looks like a sparkly sweater that she just pulled on. The hair is awful and really she looks somewhat washed out. Now get rid of the V neck and turn it navy, black or charcoal and this dress would be amazing.

    As for her relationship ideal. She is a serial monogamist. Always has been. Probably easier for her that way. Have a relationship without all the financial and legal entanglements get bored and out the door you go.

  15. Elizabeth says:

    I would like to hear her say that when she’s 50.
    Too Stupid to be loved, off course the Joker smile is not helping her either.
    Men do not take her seriously, they just use her for a while and throw her away like a napkin.
    It’s all about the first impression, men instantly know whether they will have a relationship or a fling when looking at a woman.

  16. RHONYC says:

    personally, while it isn’t my personal style…i totally dig what tilda swinton has goin’ on…

    husband at home raising the kids.

    lover who travels with her and gives good face on the red carpet.

    now thats sexy.

    tilda is a p.i.m.p. 🙂

  17. Marjalane says:

    I think she has kind of a sad attitude; I hope she has a big stable of close friends and family that can help her through the tough times if her career, health, etc. go south. It doesn’t sound like she’s ever gotten past the initial, “hot sex period” of a relationship, and isn’t aware of the secure, trusting, partnership phase of one.

  18. Rosanna says:

    yeah chicks why not saying that the only meaningful thing to do for a woman is to get married and have kids? ***rolling eyes***
    I’ve never liked Cameron, but at times she is right. People freak out because they can’t understand how things can just fade off and stay in a relationship for decades while they should have been done with it after 5 years. Good for her to keep it real.

  19. flourpot says:

    “It’s all about the first impression, men instantly know whether they will have a relationship or a fling when looking at a woman.”

    @Elizabeth Did miss Manners teach you this? We’re all living in the future, care to join us?

  20. Anonymous says:

    Me thinks that’s the tune she’s singing because she DIDN’T find anyone when she was young….I married my highschool sweetheart and I can’t wait to grow old with him. Not that this is how it happens for everyone, but I resent the fact she calls this type of life bullsh*t. I feel like if Cameron had fallen in love young, she wouldn’t simply break it off 5 years down the road to avoid the “bullsh*t” of a long term, monogamous relationship.

    We put down what we don’t have and don’t understand.

  21. bite me says:

    cam is what 37, i think the girl has been a serial monogamist for most of her adult life, if she doesn’t want to be a wife and mother that is her prerogative and i applaud her for stating so and not bullshitting the public with pr friendly soundbites 😀

  22. hanh says:

    HOLY CRAP!

    Tom has got some lifts on because he is in nowhere near CD’s height especially in heels. Nicely disguised in those specially made shoes I’m sure. The boots look a little big.

    BTW I say you go girl to CD. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to tell girls to knock off all this Prince Charming BS we’re indoctrinated with.

  23. Andrea says:

    It seems like a lot of people in Hollywood only last in relationships about 3-5 years, because those are the “Honeymoon” years. It’s all romance and hot sex and having someone new.

    After that, the relationship changes; the fireworks are different and now it’s “work”. However, anything worth having is worth working for…

  24. Maritza says:

    Sure that theory works for her but it is a different story if you have kids, it is ideal to stay with the father of your child if the marriage is happy of course.I just thinks she hasn’t found the right person to hang on with your for a long term relationship.

  25. DetRiotgirl says:

    I agree with everyone who thinks that Cameron only feels this way because she hasn’t found real love yet. But, I don’t see any reason to assume that that automatically makes her sad or bitter about the situation! I was perfectly happy taking a similar attitude and being single before I met my current boyfriend. I never felt jealous of other people’s relationships or love lives.

    Relationships are a lot of work; and that was all I saw in them until I found the right man. I agree with her on some levels. Marriage is not something you should even think about if you are not prepared to spend the rest of your life with someone. If she hasn’t found someone to make her understand what all the work of being with someone is for, then let her be. I see no reason to pick on her just because she hasn’t had the epiphany that goes along with a deep, committed love yet.

  26. Green Is Good says:

    “Who would want to be with the same person for 80 years?”

    Yeah, it’s just AWFUL being in a stable, long-term relationship. *eye roll*

  27. KateNonymous says:

    I remember watching her on The Daily Show as she babbled incoherently about that eco-documentary thing she did several years ago. She kept throwing in the phrase “It’s a very HUMAN story.” I don’t think she expresses herself well at all, so I don’t know what she’s thinking. But for a long time, I’ve thought Cameron Diaz was “bullsh-t.”

  28. denise says:

    Me thinks Cammy may be upset that someone hasn’t betrothed her. Being married for decades is a beautiful thing, esp. these days when divorce is so common.

  29. Jello says:

    The press keeps asking… Why isn’t Cammy in a relationship? Why hasn’t Cammy had babies? As a single woman around her age, I can testify to the constant pressure coming from outside to settle down and breed. You have to say something when they ask the questions. This is her answer, and it works for me. And no. Not everybody who is single and childless is lonely, sad and hating on families. And btw, do they repeatedly ask the men her age the same questions?

  30. Wif says:

    I’ve always felt like, “Well I’ve only got 80 or so years, so I should make them count.” I’m sure it’s fun to be flip relationships, and man-oh-man would I love to sleep with someone new, but there is no guarantee with life, and if I get hit by a bus tmw, I’ll be glad I spent the last 13 years with someone that genuinely gives his all for me. And if I die in 50 years, I’ll be glad to have built a life with a man who has consistently been there for me for 63 years.

  31. Wif says:

    But I do agree with her that as a society we should respect that others get to live their lives how they like

  32. Lee says:

    My morning chuckle is midget-boy in his secret-super-high-heels hidden in “flat” man-boots. LOL. They must be really high inside, ’cause Cammy is a tall girl, even without her high heels.

  33. Leek says:

    This is funny. I completely agree with where she’s coming from. I have a child and I don’t want to get married. I have a relationship and some day it will end because that’s what they do in my case. It has nothing to do with my boyfriends but I just don’t stay in love. So, I get it.

    The funny part is how angry and offended people get when you say you don’t want marriage or children. I have married friends that make it look like a lot of fun but I’m not them so it just doesn’t work the same for someone like me.

    Give her a break. There are so many people saying much worse things out there, PLUS, she has to think that way if she’s going to date a turd like A-Roid.

  34. guesty says:

    she’s entitled to her opinion. she’s obviously speaking from her own personal experience so…whatever works for her.

  35. Mouse says:

    Well considering her track record and lifestyle, I’m not surprised that’s what she thinks. She doesn’t exactly have great taste in men and Hollywood isn’t the best environment to nurture a mature relationship. While it IS kind of refreshing to know that at 37 she’s not freaking out about wanting marriage and kids (that’s not for everyone), her thinking is sad in a way. If she thinks she won’t regret missing out on the memories, mutual respect, and stability of a long term commitment when she’s old, she’s wrong. And the truth is, the likelihood of finding a partner gets smaller w/ each passing year.

    Personally, I think the cutest damn thing in the world is an elderly couple who still go out on movie dates, hold hands, and things like that. Makes me want to shake their hands and ask them for advice.

    Her dress is okay, but the sloppy ponytail makes it look cheap.

  36. buckley says:

    Where is Tommy’s lifts money shot?

  37. Jeannified says:

    I don’t buy it. I don’t think she’s EVER gotten over losing Justin Timberlake to Jessica Biel. I think she would have stayed with HIM forever, if he wouldn’t have dumped her. That being said, I like her feisty personality and she looks super hot in this dress. She has some killer legs!

  38. Maggie Grace says:

    No opinion on Camy. She’s boring.

    Tom has on his uniform.

  39. sandy says:

    i agree #37, she really loved justin, was upset when he dumped her, she has no choice but to feel this way. she can’t keep a man long term.

  40. GrnMtGirl says:

    I respect Cami’s decision to not settle down, but I really dislike that she is not responding in kind and calling my lifestyle bullsh-t.

    Some of us do meet the one we will spend the rest of our lives with when we are young. I met my husband when I was 14 and married him when I was 18. That was 26 years ago and we are still going strong. I am somebody who wants to spend 80 years with someone I love.

    To each his own…

  41. reganmeister says:

    That’s one of the sanest things a celebrity has ever said.

  42. yes please says:

    hottest legs in the game hands down, bitch im jealouse lol

  43. The Hamm is My Dream Man says:

    I don’t think she’s personally attacking people who do find the person they love young and stay with them.

    What she’s saying is that in our society, young girls are indoctrinated with this White Knight/Prince Charming idea and that we have to meet that man early and spend our entire life with him and if we don’t, then we’ve failed on some fundamental level.

    She, very inarticulately, seems to also just be saying that if you aren’t ready to spend 20 to 30 years with someone, DON’T. Don’t pretend to want it and don’t get into something like that because it will inevitably end in heartbreak.

  44. Jeri says:

    She was sure p-ssed off when Justin left her. And now she’s with a guy who loves em & leaves em too.

  45. Anastasia says:

    Damn. At five years, my husband and I were just really hitting ramming speed. We’ve been together 20 years this month and things are sweet. It’s not effortless, but it’s sure as hell worth it.

    Of course she has to say something like that–celebrity marriages never last.

  46. original kate says:

    it just cracks me up to see these tall actresses slouching to make tom thumb seem tall. i wonder if he calls them first to remind them?

  47. la chica says:

    if she really believes this, why did she have such a hard time with Justin moving on to Jessica Biel? why did she make a humiliating scene, harassing him for over an hour at the party? and that was just her public behavior.

    no, methinks that Pizza Face (to quote dlisted) is just putting that out there bec she knows that Arod is not in it for the long hall. this way she doesn’t end up with egg all over her pizza.

  48. Dhavy says:

    Her relationships have been long and monogamous. She doesn’t seem desperate like JA does and doesn’t appear like she needs or wants the pity for being single at her age.
    I’m surprised she made that comment because I thought her parents were together until her dad passed but considering her line of work you can’t blame her for saying it.
    She might not be Oscar caliber but I do like her and I watch her movies. She’s not the type of actress that craves the attention like others and she seems like she’s fun and does whatever she wants

    she has amazing legs! wow she does wear that dress well

  49. Amanda says:

    Hmm….sounds like the reasoning of a single thirty something…..so you don’t have a man because relationships are bullshit….right

  50. Shay says:

    She craps on long term relationships because she has done all of Hollywood and she can’t find no one who will have a long term relationship with her. In any case, she comes across as rather ditsy.

  51. angela says:

    This is just an individual issue. My parents were married a 9 times between the two of them. I grew up NEVER wanting marriage. But then I met my now-husband when I was 17. I’m 31 now and we’ve been married since I was 20. We’re very happy and it works for us. I don’t judge those who choose not to marry. Judging is bullshit.

  52. Girl says:

    Pardon me but what decade is she living in? Did the sexual revolution of the 60’s just not happen? I don’t think I’ve met on person who thinks they must find Mr or Mrs Right at 18
