Cameron Diaz wants to be a farm girl
HOLLYWOOD actress Cameron Diaz has become the latest film star to express her wish to hang up her blockbuster scripts for life on a farm.
The American-actress has joined a host of other Hollywood superstars, including Liz Hurley and Kate Winslet, to talk about becoming a farm girl.
Ms Diaz, who is in the UK with Tom Cruise to promote their new film Knight and Day, said she had ‘read a lot about agriculture’ and felt the industry was her calling.
“I don’t want to say I’ve seen it all because this world is so vast, but I’ve always been on the move and what I’d love to do is spend a whole year in one place, actually on a farm, where I get to raise my own crops and my own livestock and for once in my life see just how life is cultivated,” she told the Daily Telegraph.
“It’s almost like this primal thing. I really just feel like the earth is where we all come from and we have nothing if we don’t have soil and water and sun.
“I’ve read a lot about agriculture and I feel the need inside me to work with the earth in some way. I guess it would be like a painter having to paint,” she added.
