Story of the Day: Cameron Diaz’s Favourite Food is Pork Scratchings

Cameron Diaz’s favourite food isn’t some fancy pants dinner at a posh restaurant – she loves pork scratchings (basically gross pig skin fried up) and isn’t afraid to admit how delicious and weird that is. Cameron says the porky treat is her absolute favourite thing and loves to snack on it when she can:

“Oh, that’s my favorite snack in the whole world! Even with the bristles I don’t care, I’ll do it! It’s my favorite thing.”

Commenting on what she would have done if she had never become an actress, Cameron says she actually doesn’t know what she would have ended up doing, because acting is the one thing she knows how to do. She thinks that life would have created a path for her though:

“I have no idea…That’s why I’m so grateful for it. It’s the only thing that I know how to do. I do think about it all the time – what would have happened had I not just found my way out from that? But I think you always find your way out.”

On the possibility of having kids in the future, Cameron says she hasn’t completely ruled it out yet:

“I don’t need to have the children in my life be a part of my literal flesh. And anyway, there’s still a possibility of that, I ain’t that old. I’m feeling very… capable.”
