Cameron Diaz has revealed that her appearance is no longer something she's concerned with.
In an interview with Michelle Visage on her new BBC Rule Breakers podcast, Diaz opened up about how much her life has changed since stepping away from acting following her performance as Miss Hannigan in 2014's Annie.
The actress, 49, confessed that once upon a time she found herself - and others around her in the entertainment industry - focusing solely on appearances.
"I am absolutely a victim to all of the societal objectification and exploitations that women are subjected to," she shared. "I have bought into all of them myself at certain times."
She went on: "It's hard not to, it's hard not to look at yourself and judge yourself against other markers of beauty, and I think that that's one of the biggest things... The last eight years, girl — I'm like wild. I'm like a wild animal, like a beast!"
Diaz also added that sitting in front of the mirror for hours a day as an actress eventually became "toxic."
"You just start to pick yourself apart, you know," she said. "And you're like, 'Why I am sitting here like being so mean to myself?' My body's strong, my body's capable. Why am I going to talk down to it? Why am I going to be mean to it when it's like carried me this far?"
When asked about her concern with appearance these days, Diaz said: "I don't care. Literally, the last thing I think about on a daily basis — like maybe not at all during the day — is what I look like."
What's more, Diaz also revealed she has not put much effort into her beauty regime despite owning "a billion products" on her shelves. "I literally do nothing. I like never was my face," she explained.
"Twice a month if I'm lucky, I'll be like, 'Oh, I better put this on. One time works, right?' Like is that all I have to do? I'm just not in that place right now like where I put any energy."
Instead, as she prepares to turn 50 this August, she is just looking to "stay strong."
