Cameron Diaz's breath of fresh air

Nov 10, 2006, 12:00 GMT

Cameron Diaz is getting a nose job - because she can't breathe properly.

The 'Charlie's Angels' actress previously boasted she has broken her nose four times but has now revealed she is finally going to turn to cosmetic surgery to correct it.

Cameron told W magazine: "I'm getting it fixed. I can't take it. I cannot breathe at all. One side of my nose is totally shattered - my septum is basically like a train derailed."

The 'Something About Mary' star is a self-confessed tomboy and broke her nose several times as a child. She recently broke it again while surfing.

The 34-year-old actress, who is dating pop heartthrob Justin Timberlake, has also spoke out about her recent tussle with the paparazzi.

In September, Cameron and Justin filed police charges of assault with a deadly weapon against a photographer they alleged tried to hit them with a car.

Cameron said: "I'm a very private person. My dad taught me how to fight when I was a kid. When somebody comes at you, you defend yourself.

"Something happened in our industry, in our society, and there was an explosion of this really aggressive group of people."
