CAMERON DIAZ - DIAZ REVEALS BROKEN NOSE WAS A BIG DEAL

Movie star CAMERON DIAZ has revealed just how badly she broke her nose in a surfing accident last summer (03) - it was shattered in 20 places.

The accident-prone actress had broken her nose three times before the Hawaii surf smash, and felt sure it would just need "a couple of stitches."

She says, "I totally busted my nose open... blood squirting everywhere. I had a gash across my nose but I kept saying, 'Don't worry, a couple of stitches it's fine, it's good.'

"We went to this surgeon, DR FLOWERS, who happened to be there on a Saturday, and he totally looked at my nose and he said, 'You've shattered your nose.'

"I said, 'No, it just takes a couple of stitches, don't touch it. Just stitch it up, don't touch the bump. I've had the bump since I was 11-years-old. I don't want it changed. I know you think you want to change it but don't touch my nose.'

"He was like, 'OK sweetheart... your nose has about 20 pieces right now that are just all over the place and, if I don't like fix it with more than a couple of stitches, you're gonna have a nose that's broken in like 20 pieces."
