Why Cameron Diaz Quit Social Media Last Year

ABC/Randy Holmes(NEW YORK) — Cameron Diaz hasn’t tweeted since September, 16, 2014. Why? Because she quit social media altogether.

“I think social media is a crazy-a** experiment on society,” she tells Cosmopolitan U.K. “The way people use it to get validation from a bunch of strangers is dangerous. What’s the point?”

Besides, Diaz is busy being a newlywed with rocker Benji Madden. The two tied the knot in January. It may be safe to assume the two rarely leave the bed. Diaz told the magazine that sex is “something healthy that we need to be doing for many different reasons.”

Still, it’s not the only form of exercise Diaz does regularly. In fact, the Annie star encourages everyone to work out.

“You have to just do it. Once you commit and really put in the effort, your body goes, ‘Oh, it’s not OK to be without this.’ People say, ‘My body rejects exercise.’ No, it doesn’t.  Your mind rejects exercise,” she explained.

But that doesn’t mean Diaz doesn’t occasionally indulge in sweets. “Well being is an equation. Remember, you don’t have to have the whole cake, you can have a piece. Don’t deprive yourself. Have fun. Just be self-aware,” she said. “If your equation is 80 percent good, 20 percent bad most of the time, then a little movement toward the center isn’t going to affect you much.”
