The actress struck a sizzling pose for men's mag Esquire, and spilled the beans on life, love, and not getting married

Cameron Diaz may just have turned 40, but she doesn't seem to mind one bit. After striking a pose for a sizzling new shoot, the actress has revealed she's feeling better than ever, and, for the first time, 'content'.

The actress strutted her stuff in teeny pants and a white shirt for the November issue of Esquire, showing off her enviable toned pins in the process.

Opening up on her recent landmark birthday, she revealed: 'For the first time in my life I’m content. I’m so excited. Getting older is the best part of life. Like, I know more than I’ve ever known.

‘I have gratitude. I know myself better. I feel more capable than ever. And as far as the physicality of it, I feel better at 40 than I did at 25.’

Cameron also added that she hasn't ruled children out just yet, telling the mag: 'There’s still a possibility of that, I ain't that old. Believe it or not, I’m feeling very... capable.’

But she's never felt the need to marry. Why? 'I’m smart! No, it’s hard to say. It just wasn’t the thing I was drawn to.

'I certainly didn’t want it in my 20s. Or my 30s. So we’ll see. I’d always wanted to get hitched in Vegas at least three times.

'It’s funny because as my girlfriends get older, I see how their relationships have evolved, and you know, the people you’re drawn to changes. I’m not attracted to the same people that I was drawn to in my 20s.’

On growing old gracefully, she added: ‘There’s no such thing as anti-ageing. You can’t go back in time.

‘So for me, it’s about living in this moment, the best that I can. Contentment is about coming to terms with life as it is.’

Well said, Ms Diaz.
