Hollywood A-List celebrity Cameron Diaz has said she will never go under the knife to maintain her looks.

“Urgh!” she exclaimed in an interview with the newspaper the Daily Express. “Have you seen those shows where ordinary people want to look like Britney Spears or Brad Pitt? What on earth possesses them to want to destroy their own character? To go under the knife to do that – well, it’s sick.

“I had to have work on my nose for a deviated septum but I would never do anything else. I think beauty comes from the inside. When I see women who have had plastic surgery, I find it unnerving. All I can see is the surgery – the person who has had it has vanished. I don’t want to look like that!”

The star has no issues with her impending 35th birthday. “When I was in my 20s, I couldn’t wait to be in my 30s,” Diaz explained. “And I was totally right. It is so much easier being in your 30s. You have a lot more experience and you know, if you behave in a certain way, what the outcome is going to be. When you are in your 30s, you have enough restraint to rethink that impulse. And you have the strategy to get where it’s a happier place.”
