Halle Berry has “learned that less is more.”
The Oscar winner celebrated her 58th birthday on Wednesday (14.08.24) and marked the occasion with a completely natural selfie in which she reflected on her life and thanked her fans for their years of support.
She captioned her Instagram post: “At 58, I’ve learned that less is more! Thank you to everyone who has supported me all these years!”
Her boyfriend Van Hunt shared a sweet post in honor of Halle’s big day, commenting on how their relationship continues to blossom.
On his own page, he wrote: “Happy birthday. No one sees the dedication, the wear and tear. But I can proudly say that I do – as our love grows and continues. (sic)”
Halle recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of “Catwoman” by posing topless with her cats for a series of risqué photos.
Now she joked that her pets forced her to do the hot photo shoot.
Speaking to Extra, she joked: “The cats forced me to do it – they forced me to do it! I said, ‘Okay, let’s go.’ The kittens wanted it.”
Halle has been on screen for more than 30 years and even won an Oscar for her role as a widow in distress in the 2001 film Monster’s Ball, but she admitted that it all came as a surprise to her, especially because she is still enjoying success at this stage of her life.
She told E! News: “I never thought I would do this as a career and then be able to work at the level that I am at at this age and at this stage. But I came along at the right time when women were getting older. There was a time when you were kind of done at 40. That’s why it’s so nice to be a part of Hollywood now.”
The “The Moonfall” actress is currently starring alongside Mark Wahlberg in “The Union” – in which a man is recruited by his childhood sweetheart for a risky US intelligence mission – and said it was “fun” to get the chance to tell such a story because it made her think of her own youth.
She said, “It was fun. I think a lot of us fantasize about the one who got away or what my life would have been like if I had stayed with my high school sweetheart.”
