Cameron Diaz

Cameron Diaz has become fearless with age.

The 41-year-old actress admits she doesn't tend to stress over the little things now that she's hit the fourth decade of her life and she's enjoying her new care-free attitude.

Speaking in the August issue of America's Esquire magazine, she said: "I like being 41. I love it. So much sh*t just falls away. Fear, mostly. It's the best age. That's when a woman knows how to work things, or she doesn't care about that anymore. You just stop being afraid.

"You don't worry about what men think. You just don't worry that time register is anything awful."

Meanwhile, the 'Other Woman' star has been dating her new boyfriend Benji Madden for two months now and, although she feels ready to settle down, she's doesn't want to rush their blossoming relationship.

A source said previously: "She's at a point in her life where she would love to settle down, but for now with Benji it's about being happy and taking things as they come. She's happy ... really happy."

The couple went public with their romance last month when they were spotted walking hand-in-hand around New York City, but the initial spark between the pair took the blonde beauty by surprise.

The source explained: "The relationship sort of hit Cameron out of nowhere. She's always been open-minded when it comes to men. She just wants to have something in common with them and find a personality that loves life and loves as hard as she does."

Meanwhile, Cameron has previously dated Alex Rodriquez, Justin Timberlake, Jared Leto and has even admitted to a romantic liaison with another woman.
