I refuse to go away and disappear, says Halle Berry
Halle Berry has explained how her attitude has evolved over time.
Halle Berry has "zero f**** to give" at this stage of her career.
The 59-year-old actress stars in the new thriller movie Crime 101 alongside the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Nick Nolte and Mark Ruffalo, and Halle feels she's more likely to pull off a heist than any of her co-stars.
The award-winning actress told E! News: "They just know that I have reached a stage where I have zero f**** to give. So they know I would try it. Why not? I have no more f**** to give."
Halle has become an outspoken advocate for women in Hollywood in recent years, and she has no intention of changing her approach.
The movie star shared: "I know I’ve been clear of the importance of this message, and this time that I find myself in - I refuse to go away and disappear and fall into obscurity."
Halle is also feeling excited about the next chapter in her career.
She said: "I’m just getting started on my second act, and I’m excited for that. So, I’m just doing my part, that’s all."
Meanwhile, Halle recently suggested that older actresses in Hollywood need to "reclaim the narrative".
The film star - who plays a character facing ageism and misogyny in Crime 101 - told Variety: "I know the heartbreak of that. I know how marginalised women feel when they get around those numbers, and so I think I felt it for every woman who has been there and felt that way.
"It’s wrong and I think as women we have to reclaim the narrative. We’re not done at 50, 60, even 70. We have so much more to offer. I’m 60 this year and I feel like I’m just getting my second groove started, so not done."
In one scene in Crime 101, Halle's character tells a male boss to "shut the f*** up", and the actress has admitted to experiencing similar things in her own career.
The actress shared: "I’ve said that to a few of my bosses. [It feels] amazing because that means I’m standing up for myself as a woman and I’m empowered. That has felt really good every time I’ve had to do that."
