Halle Berry Talks To 'Marie Claire' About Aging

"Age is just a number that they stick on us at birth," the Bruised actress told the mag in her cover interview, which also came alongside some truly breathtaking images. Check them out here.

"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're supposed to do," she continued.

The Gothika alum then went on to talk about how people seem to be more obsessed with her beauty, which also includes a super-sculpted body, as opposed to her talent as an actress, and thinks it will be interesting to see how she is viewed as an actress once her beauty "starts to go." (Although we don't think her beauty will *ever* fade!)

Halle Berry Thinks People Will Focus On 'More Interesting' Aspects Of Her Life When Her Beauty Fades

"When [my beauty] 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," the former Bond girl continued, before talking about some of the other things she has done in her life that she is proud of and has worked "really hard" at.

"The movies that I've been a part of, the acting accolades I've garnered over the years, my charity work," she went on. "I do take ownership over those things that I've worked really hard at, and if somebody finds value in those things that lights me up."
