CAMERON'S 'HARD LIFE'

In fact, if you’re Cameron Diaz you might even go so far as to describe it as “hell”.

The moaning blonde opines that people just don’t take her seriously thanks to being blighted with such good looks.

Describing the past year, in which she split with singer Justin Timberlake, Cameron wails: “The last couple of years were hell, I can’t even tell you, it was so hard.

I didn’t know how to handle it. But I think I’m in a much better place now because I stepped away for a second and took a breath.”

The 34-year-old Shrek star adds: “Hollywood is a funny place. It offers so much but it can also take a lot away from you.”

Her looks, Cameron thinks, have turned people against her. “If a woman who is a successful actress weighs 300 pounds and has warts, nobody ever asks her, ‘Do you think you made it because you’re ugly?’ So why should there
be prejudice against someone who’s had some success in films and looks a little better than average.

"It’s all in my genes so don’t hold it against me.”
