Cameron Diaz has said she thinks women need to be able to admit they don’t want children without the fear of being labelled strange.

The My Sister’s Keeper actress told the British edition of Cosmopolitan recently that marriage and children have never been high on her list of priorities - but that’s a difficult thing to admit being a Hollywood star: “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.”

She added that she doesn’t know what her future will bring: “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’.”
