Halle Berry<\/a> is looking forward to being valued for more than her looks as she gets older.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Halle Berry wants to be valued for more than just her looks<\/p>\n
The 58-year-old actress – who has daughter Nahla, 16, and son Maceo, 10, from previous relationships – isn’t worried about her beauty starting to fade because praise for her appearance has always been a “hollow win” as she believes she has so much more to offer the world.<\/p>\n
She told America’s Marie Claire magazine: \u201cI\u2019ve always known that I\u2019ve been more than this face and more than this body.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo when that starts to go, maybe for the first time in my life, people will focus on the other aspects of me that I think are way more interesting.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt might feel good to have everybody look at you, but it\u2019s always been a hollow win for me because I had nothing to do with how I came here looking.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI do have everything to do with the kind of mother that I am, the kind of partner that I\u2019ve been, the movies that I\u2019ve been a part of, the acting accolades I\u2019ve garnered over the years, my charity work. I do take ownership over those things that I\u2019ve worked really hard at, and if somebody finds value in those things that lights me up.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe ‘Bruised’ star – who is in a relationship with 54-year-old musician Van Hunt – believes women are judged much more unfairly than women and vowed to fight against ageism.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: “Age is just a number that they stick on us at birth.<\/p>\n
\n“As women, we get defined by it way more than men do and sometimes it can debilitate us. It can trick us into thinking what we\u2019re supposed to do.<\/p>\n
\n“We have to kick that in the face and say, no, I\u2019m going to do what I can do as long as I feel good doing it! And that will be whatever I want it to be. I get to define that.”<\/p>\n
\nAs she has got older, Halle has grown in confidence and no longer feels she has to impress people.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI\u2019m now usually one of the oldest people in every room I walk in and that\u2019s a good feeling.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI don\u2019t have to be the dancing bear. I don\u2019t have to worry about appeasing everybody in the room, or care about everybody else\u2019s egos, or their insecurities, or give them what they\u2019re wanting from me if it\u2019s not what I\u2019m wanting to give them. <\/p>\n
\n“My daughter says, \u2018don\u2019t ask mom, because she\u2019s got no f**** to give. Don\u2019t ask her unless you want the answer for real.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
