Aos 43 anos, Cameron Diaz quer promover um debate sobre o envelhecimento no feminino. A atriz que acumulou sucesso em filmes como Anjos de Chalie ou A Máscara divulgou nas redes sociais a capa do seu novo livro, The Longevity Book, que precede a obra The Body Book, lançado em dezembro de 2013 (leva o rótulo de bestseller do New York Times).

“Estou tão entusiasmada que mal me consigo conter. (…) Estou muito orgulhosa deste livro e ansiosa por nos envolver a todas numa nova conversa sobre o envelhecimento — como fazê-lo com força, graciosidade, saúde e sabedoria”, lê-se na conta de Instagram da atriz. A legenda acompanha uma imagem da capa do livro, onde Cameron Diaz surge quase sem maquilhagem.

HELLO Again, Ladies! I am so excited I can barely contain myself!! As soon as I saw it myself, I wanted to share with you the cover of THE LONGEVITY BOOK. I am so proud of this book and very much looking forward to engaging us all in a new conversation about aging–how to do it with strength, grace, health and wisdom. I also wanted to thank you again for your beautiful submissions, which we’ll eventually get to show you as part of the cover beyond the cover; a perfect representation of women standing beside other women, as a united front, to stage change and incite progress. I can’t wait until hard copies hit the stands in April so we can really get started!! #thelongevitybook #theprivilegeoftime @thebodybook ox, Cameron

O livro, cujo lançamento está previsto acontecer no próximo mês de abril, tinha sido previamente anunciado em novembro do ano passado, quando a artista publicou, também nas redes sociais, uma selfie sem qualquer maquilhagem.

Hello Ladies! Happy Fall! Hope everyone is enjoying this glorious time of year; the chillier air, the changing and falling leaves; all of the markers of another year coming to a close, and a hint at the new one about to unfold. I first wanted to thank all of you who answered our call this past summer to send in any questions you might have about aging in a female body. I am so grateful for your participation, as it allowed us to address your inquries in the next volume of the @TheBodyBook. It is centered around the mental, physical and emotional journey of aging. And as we diligently put the finishing touches on the book, we’d like to ask for your help once more. This book is for you and about you and that’s why we’d like to see you on the cover. Much like the cover of the Body Book, under the jacket, were we featured women of all different shapes, sizes, builds and ethnicities. We would like for you to feel represented again, this time to show where you are in your process of aging. So we invite you to take a picture of yourself. It should look much like the one I have here; against a plain background, this general framing-you can crop closer to a portrait, and the higher-def the better! We’d like to see more of that beautiful face of yours than the body this time. And if you want to snap one with yourself and your mom and your daughter together, or any multiple generations or expressions of your journey with aging, we’d love to see those, too! And for the 50 we use on the actual cover, we’ll send you a signed copy of the book when it hits bookstores in April. So be yourself with it, be brave with it, have fun with it, and we can’t wait to see. Thank you again and Happy Selfie-ing!! Ox, Cameron To submit, click the link in my profile.

O tema do envelhecimento não é propriamente novo para Cameron Diaz, ela que já antes falou sobre o mundo irrealista dos tratamentos e produtos anti-envelhecimento. “As mulheres não permitem que outras mulheres envelheçam com graciosidade”, disse a Oprah durante uma entrevista realizada em 2014.

“É quase como se falhássemos por não permanecermos com 25 anos para o resto das nossas vidas”, disse à data. “É um falhanço pessoal. É culpa minha por, aos 40 anos da idade, não parecer ter 25. Peço desculpa. Não fui capaz de desafiar a natureza”, ironizou.

Na mesma entrevista, Diaz admitiu já ter usado botox, ainda que não tenha gostado do resultado final: “Prefiro ver a minha cara a envelhecer do que uma cara que não me pertence de todo”.
