Cameron Diaz has said she gets a buzz stripping down to her underwear for the camera.
The 40-year-old actress says she finds racy photo shoots "empowering" and is comfortable in her skin.
She told The Sunday Times: "It's empowering. I'm not some young girl with the photographer going, 'Will you take your clothes off?' I'm like [mimes stripping], 'How does this look?'
"They're like, 'Today we're not going to put anything other than bras and heels on you,' and I'm like, 'These heels are not high enough.'
"I'm a woman, I know how to handle myself. I know what I feel comfortable doing and I know my s-xuality."
The star also thinks its "healthy" for women to want to be objectified.
She added: "I think every woman does want to be objectified. There's a little part of you at all times that hopes to be somewhat objectified, and I think its healthy."
Cameron also laments the scrutiny put on the young stars of today, as its harder for them to grow up and make the mistakes young people do without being criticised.
Reflecting on her own career, she added: "I wouldn't have survived it. Nobody in their twenties can. That's when you do all your stupid s**t. You're supposed to be an idiot. You're supposed to get drunk, or go out with a guy who's terrible for you."
