Cameron Diaz: “The World Doesn’t Need More Children”



Cameron Diaz isn’t a big fan of kids. The actress, who will return to the silver screen in this summer’s My Sister’s Keeper, believes the world doesn’t need any more children.

Cameron has been romantically-linked to a string of handsome Hollywood stars — including Justin Timberlake, Matt Dillon, Jared Leto, and more recently Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine — nonetheless, the 36-year-old star feels no need to rush into motherhood.

She believes it is unfair to judge women who don’t want to settle down and start a family.

Speaking in the July issue of British Cosmopolitan Magazine, Cameron says: “I think women are afraid to say that they don’t want children because they’re going to get shunned. But I think that’s changing too now. I have more girlfriends who don’t have kids than those that do.”

“And honestly? We don’t need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet.”

Even with that in mind, Cam isn’t ruling out the possibility of becoming the next Angelina Jolie or even Nadya Suleman: “I never say never. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I could end up adopting half a dozen kids, or I could end up being the next Octomom!”

Seriously. I don't want to like you, Cameron Diaz, but I might have to because of this!
beatlesluv 11th-Jun-2009 08:47 pm (UTC)
LOL this. Having children is a personal choice.
j_k_m 11th-Jun-2009 09:00 pm (UTC)
Me neither. Seriously.
boudoirkitten 11th-Jun-2009 09:10 pm (UTC)
same here :| it's true though, I've always said I don't want kids and you should see the look on people's faces when I tell them. Grandmother wasn't very pleased with me, "your biological clock is ticking!!!"...

Good for Cameron. The last think we need is more dumb bimbos like her on earth.

when_itsizzles 11th-Jun-2009 08:41 pm (UTC)
what?

you are seriously a dumb bitch cameron. why be condescending to people for wanting kids? it comes off a little selfish sometimes, tbh. although people should do whatever they want, its their lives. just dont make other people feel like shit about it.
polaroidmoment 11th-Jun-2009 08:46 pm (UTC)
How is it any different from people condescending to other women for NOT wanting children? I agree with you in that people should do whatever they want, but the shit comes from both sides.
when_itsizzles 11th-Jun-2009 08:49 pm (UTC)
yeah i agree. my comment kind of goes in circles.

mainly what offends me is that she says "we dont need more kids" like wtf?

but people shouldnt have kids unless they really want them.
xasgoodasitgets 11th-Jun-2009 08:49 pm (UTC)
although people should do whatever they want, its their lives. just dont make other people feel like shit about it.

You could use this same argument for people killing other people, or people being racist douches. Yeah, it's their lives...but some things aren't good for people to do.

Before you get all weird about me comparing having your own kid to murder...it's just an example. My point is, we judge people all the time for what they do, and make them feel bad about it (like raising your child in a cult, for another example) so this shouldn't really be any different.
candidcouture 11th-Jun-2009 09:17 pm (UTC)
it's completely selfish to have children when there are tons that need to be adopted.
mommadona 11th-Jun-2009 11:43 pm (UTC)
actually this is one thing that doing whatever you want basically effects the entire population of the earth. imho having kids is the most selfish thing
asaresquares 12th-Jun-2009 01:48 am (UTC)
Uhm, at the current moment, sorry to the worldwide child-loving populace, but having children is incredibly selfish given the state of our planet. I'm no Diaz fan, but she is making an incredible amount of sense here.
run_atreyu 12th-Jun-2009 06:28 am (UTC)
The fact that you read this as her being condescending should alert you to some massive projection issues on your part. Why so sensitive? Did someone not validate your majority-mainstream choices adequately enough today?
sekhmet2 11th-Jun-2009 08:43 pm (UTC)
And honestly? We don’t need any more kids. We have plenty of people on this planet.

Probably the first thing I've ever agreed with her on...
theidiotdoll Snape is cool but11th-Jun-2009 09:15 pm (UTC)
Don't be shitting me now. A lot of European countries as well as Japan and Singapore are experiencing a population decline because of their excess oldies. We have plenty of people on this planet but those living in the places I mentioned need to shit out babies. Their governments are even offering incentives to those couples who have more than 1 child. PLS.
mommadona Re: Snape is cool but11th-Jun-2009 11:44 pm (UTC)
yeah that's true but why? just to maintain a race? the future is in iran, china, and india where the population is exploding
pocketporn Re: Snape is cool but12th-Jun-2009 03:48 am (UTC)
There's a lot of space in Wyoming. Start filling it up with babies and immigrant families! HOP TO IT!

I would rather squat naked on a cactus than have kids, but STFU Cameron Diaz.
miyavi16 11th-Jun-2009 08:57 pm (UTC)
My sentiments exactly.
boudoirkitten 11th-Jun-2009 09:11 pm (UTC)
it would probably feel the same, only you can get rid of the cactus afterwards... well, easier, anyway.

lol that sounds awful but yeah...

this is the most amazing comment evar!!! LULZ AHOY1!!

boomstick 12th-Jun-2009 10:48 am (UTC)
Forever. I never ever ever want kids ever.
teamdowney 12th-Jun-2009 04:27 am (UTC)
LMAO
winniechili 11th-Jun-2009 08:44 pm (UTC)
While that lacked a little tact, I mean, she's basically right. Overpopulation is probably gonna fuck us faster than global warming.

And with society being all "WTF why are you being a weird bitch!?" to women who don't want kids, it's not helping.
dawn9476 11th-Jun-2009 08:50 pm (UTC)
It's because of overpopulation that we might see wars break out over freaking water.
j_k_m 11th-Jun-2009 09:02 pm (UTC)
I hate the idea of the world having too many people that we have to expand our cities until we all touch and nature goes buh-bye.
firecracked 11th-Jun-2009 09:36 pm (UTC)
LOL well, first of all, I don't think it'd get to that point, but if it did, trust me, nature will be just fine. This earth has lived through 4.6 billion years of shit - humans aren't going to destroy it in just a few hundred years of heavy industry. Nature will come back once we humans start dying off.
asaresquares 12th-Jun-2009 01:52 am (UTC)
The societal reaction is the worst part. Women who abstain are HELPING the world, and yet they get treated like shit for it. Epic. Eye. Roll.
quotesgurl 11th-Jun-2009 08:45 pm (UTC)
I AGREE.
zulkey 11th-Jun-2009 08:45 pm (UTC)
she's basically saying nothing but I bet people are going to get really riled up about this.
kangofu 11th-Jun-2009 08:47 pm (UTC)
There's a big difference b/w Angelina Jolie & Nadya Suleman.

Angie can afford her kids, and adopted most of them.

Octopussy did not adopt, mooched off her parents (who also need a lesson in child raising) and is looking for freebies.
fatesarchitect 11th-Jun-2009 09:11 pm (UTC)
Angelina has also adopted children without a home or parents--thereby reducing (though imperceptibly) the number of orphaned children. Octomom has added TO the population.
dumbxblonde07 11th-Jun-2009 11:15 pm (UTC)
Lol, I don't think she was comparing them in methods. I think she was just saying her mind may change one day and she may get a bunch of kids.

Same with the comment about the world not needing kids. She probably wasn't trying to condemn those who have kids, just pointing out that people shouldn't pressure her to procreate when she doesn't want to be a mom.
sastra_fuss 11th-Jun-2009 08:47 pm (UTC)
good, i hope this means this idiot doesn't procreate
bitchbynature Typical...11th-Jun-2009 09:20 pm (UTC)
Typical fucking response from a person who has/wants kids.

STFU and LOL @ YOUR DUMB ASS.
orcasandowls Re: Typical...11th-Jun-2009 11:52 pm (UTC)
omg someone wants kids... how awful. i'm guessing you're either a member of childfree or cf_hardcore, and therefore your opinion is invalid.
sastra_fuss Re: Typical...12th-Jun-2009 12:39 am (UTC)
stfu bitter bitch
asaresquares Re: Typical...12th-Jun-2009 01:53 am (UTC)
This.
dawn9476 11th-Jun-2009 08:48 pm (UTC)
I love people like her, George Clonney, and Simon Cowell who are not afraid to admit that they would make bad parents because of the lives they lead and don't want kids.
baglady25 11th-Jun-2009 08:56 pm (UTC)
The only sucky bit is that it's ok when it comes from George and Simon. If a woman says it then...lordy.
m00nbrain 11th-Jun-2009 09:01 pm (UTC)
She never said she would make a bad parent
blueberry_luv 11th-Jun-2009 10:10 pm (UTC)
*sigh*
They don't need to nurture, but they should probably reproduce for the good of mankind, because their babies would be extremely pretty =[
mommadona 11th-Jun-2009 11:46 pm (UTC)
uh, i don't think she said she would made a bad parent. she said she has no interest in having kids. those are two different things
neko_oni 11th-Jun-2009 08:49 pm (UTC)
Are you kidding me? The younger generations think they're being totally progressive when they say they don't want kids --and treat mom's like "they just spread their legs". Ugh.
winniechili 11th-Jun-2009 08:51 pm (UTC)
and treat mom's like "they just spread their legs". Ugh.

Huh? Where have you ever heard that?
neko_oni 11th-Jun-2009 09:10 pm (UTC)
I hear it here all the time when people start talking about kids. It got stupid when people were talking Moms and expectant parking last time.

And I have heard it from girls my age and younger IRL. Too bad they'll probably be a Mom one day.

lol gurl you just wait for the hardcore cf folks to come out of the woodwork.

it's sad, tbh. they are just as bad as anti-choicers.
elisabet85 11th-Jun-2009 08:56 pm (UTC)
I don't want kids, and I don't treat mothers like they just spread their legs. What's wrong with saying this world has enough people, and more specifically more than enough children that need homes?
dumbxblonde07 11th-Jun-2009 11:31 pm (UTC)
LOL, what? A lot of the younger generation wants children, just later in life when they've settled down or built up a nice life. They mainly look down on people who have children irresponsibly, especially considering the advances our society has had with birth control. They don't view every pregnant person as a slut.

asaresquares ...12th-Jun-2009 01:54 am (UTC)
I think you have some reading comprehension skills. Or just comprehension problems in general.
run_atreyu 12th-Jun-2009 06:26 am (UTC)
O hai, projection. It's like Christians having heaps of power and whining that they're oppressed. The world isn't here to validate your choices, and people who want kids don't need that because they are the massive power majority, like Christians. Whine whine whine. Project project project.
