Cameron Diaz had heartwarming admission about becoming a mum aged 47

Cameron Diaz once had an incredibly heartwarming admission about becoming a mum aged 47.

The 51-year-old Hollywood A-lister has a whole portfolio of box office smash hits behind her including Charlie's Angels, The Mask and The Holiday just to name a few.

Diaz gave birth to her first daughter, Raddix, a few years back in 2019 with her husband, Benji Madden.

She's previously been very candid about how motherhood has changed her perspective on things and honestly, we couldn't love her more for it!

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon about becoming a mum in 2020, the talented actor said: "Every single day, there are leaps and bounds, and these things that happen - she’s not the same baby she was yesterday.

"It’s so gratifying to actually get to see that growth and to be a part of it and to help let her be her, and it’s just amazing."

Anyone that's been around a baby for more than a couple of days knows that watching them pick up new things is both wonderful yet extremely terrifying.

And it also gave Diaz a fresh perspective on ageing, as she told People in 2022: "The whole concept of ageing has just changed completely, even in the last 10 years.

"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."

To be fair, we're looking forward to getting past 100 and retiring at some kind of vineyard.

Becoming a new mum also allowed Diaz to appreciate her relationship with her parents, adding: "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."

And she has every intention of getting there, explaining that her family are from a pretty sturdy stock as she told Goop: "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.

"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."

Well, we can't wait to see what the queen of rom-coms gets up to 40 years from now but, as for later this year, she's gearing up to star in Netflix's Back in Action alongside Jamie Foxx.
