Cameron Diaz Has A New Love, Benji Madden - So What Do We Know About Him?

What Do We Know About Cameron's New Man?

Cameron Diaz has made it quite clear she's not the marrying kind.

Cameron Diaz has fallen for another bad-boy-looking rocker

In a series of interviews that must have stretched her patience during the recent 'The Other Woman' worldwide junket, she variously defended being childless, unmarried, and explained, "There are many soulmates. My soul has a lot of different facets and it needs a lot of different men."

All of which means we should be less than surprised to see her in the arms of her latest squeeze, an unreconstructed rocker not known for his staying power when it comes to commitment.

But who is Benji Madden? Read on...

  • At 35 years old, he is six years younger than his new lady.
  • He is a guitarist with the band Good Charlotte, alongside his twin brother Joel.
  • The brothers have a clothing line, DCMA collective, which their elder brother Josh helped design.
  • The band made a cameo appearance in the film 'Not Another Teen Movie' in 2001, as well as 'Material Girls' in 2006.

Benji with former squeeze Paris Hilton

  • Benji's long-time fiancee until 2008 was Australian model Sophie Monk.
  • Benji then dated Paris Hilton, former besties with his brother's wife, Nicole Richie.
  • Benji co-wrote the theme song for Paris's reality show, 'My New BFF'.
  • Despite this, he is a mentor on the Australian reality TV show, The Voice Kids Australia.
  • He is an avid collector of 'Living Dead Dolls', a collection of horror dolls, which he showed off during an episode of MTV Cribs, revealing stars inside their homes.
  • His collection of tattoos includes one of Benjamin Franklin, one of America's Founding Fathers, which covers his entire back.
  • He is a huge boxing fan, taking part in a fight himself in 2010, where he knocked out MTV host Riki Rachtman in the first round.
  • So.... definitely one to take home to the family, Cam.
