Halle Berry’s approach to life is refreshingly candid as she navigates her 50s with grace and authenticity. Embracing daytime drinking as a form of self-indulgence, she’s unapologetic about putting herself first.

Her youthful appearance at 57 is a testament to her disciplined diet and exercise routine, grounded in a keto lifestyle adopted after her diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes.
Beyond her physical health, Berry prioritizes her mental well-being, especially during the challenges of lockdown and perimenopause

. As a mother, she draws from her own upbringing to create a nurturing environment for her children, aiming to foster open communication and understanding. With her bold honesty and commitment to self-care
“They want to deal with the person that was more cordial and dealt with all their crap and didn’t say what they meant because you were taking care of all their egos.
“You play that role, but it’s more me now. I realise I have earned the right to evolve into someone different.
“I no longer have to be that dancing bear. I don’t have to make people feel comfortable.
“I always know my intention and it’s never to hurt anyone, but I have a right to be who I am and not allow myself to be hurt.
“I have a right to call bulls*t when I see it.
Golden ratio – what is it and who has the most perfect boobs and bum?
“When you get to be 57 years old, you are often the oldest person in any room you find yourself in.
“And that’s a very comforting feeling, a very good feeling, because you have the experience to back it up.”
Halle’s approach to life has clearly changed, but her youthful good looks appear frozen in time.
She is marking 20 years since she played comic book superhero Catwoman in 2004, and 30 years since her breakout part as Miss Stone in The Flintstones.
Her other film roles include playing Bond girl Jinx Johnson in 2002’s Die Another Day and prisoner’s wife Leticia Musgrove in 2001 film Monster’s Ball, for which she became the first black woman to win an Oscar and saw her filming a graphic sex scene.
Halle credits a keto diet, which involves high protein and low carbohydrate, for keeping her in top shape.
She embraced the regime after being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes aged 22.
The mum of two said: “I am keto. It’s basically protein and vegetables, no processed sugar, no pasta or rice, nothing white.
“It’s just fish, lean meats and healthy fats — nuts and seeds.
“I can’t have dairy because I have an allergic reaction to it, but with keto for most people you can have dairy.
“I eat to live, I’m not a foodie. I feel bad that I’m not. I see food as my fuel.”
The star, mum to 16-year-old daughter Nahla Ariela from her relationship with model Gabriel Aubry, and who has ten-year-old son Maceo-Robert with her ex-husband, French actor, Olivier Martinez, admits she often forgets to eat.
She says: “If you don’t remind me to eat, I will probably forget.
“Sometimes on a weekend, when there is no one here but them and me, my kids will say, at 3.30pm, ‘Mum, hello, are we going to eat today?’
“I will be like, ‘OK yeah!’”
As for her tipple of choice, Halle — speaking with Gwyneth Paltrow on the fellow A-lister’s The Goop podcast — discussed her favourite wines.
She opts for organic, sugar-free varieties made in small, family-run vineyards and buys them from the website Dry Farm Wines, which says all its bottles come under 12.5 per cent alcohol levels for “conscious” consumption.
Halle says: “I have this special wine I drink, Dry Farms.
“I’m a Dry Farmer. It’s low in sugar and it’s low in alcohol and sulphites.
