Jenny McCarthy wishes she had "Nicole Kidman-ed" in her younger years and stayed out of the sun.
The 41-year-old model-and-activist learned the hard way about the dangers of staying out in hot weather, and wishes she had paid better attention to her skin, like the porcelain-skinned Australian actress.
McCarthy said: "I wish I knew when I was younger not to lay out in the sun. Aging, skin cancer. I wish I would have Nicole Kidman-ed it throughout my whole life.
"I also wish I would have known to drink more water. And I wish I would have known to wait until I was 35 to get married. I think women really know who they are by the time they are 33. I think in your 20s you're still searching."
McCarthy has 11-year-old son Evan from her six-year marriage to John Mallory Asher, but the couple split in 2005.
The former Playboy star -- now a regular panelist on TV show 'The View' -- admits she can be intimidating to men on the show because of her forthright personality.
She added to America's OK! magazine: "Yes, I think I intimidate men because I have a strong personality. A lot of times men get insecure around fame. I put them at ease by trying to teach them that fame is frivolous, and that the human spirit is way more important to me."
