Halle Berry has "learned that less is more".

The Oscar winning actress celebrated her 58th birthday on Wednesday (14.08.24) and she marked the occasion with a natural selfie as she reflected on her life and thanked fans for their support over the years.

She captioned the post on Instagram: "At 58, I’ve learned that less is more! Thank you all for riding with me all these years!"

Her boyfriend Van Hunt shared a sweet post in honour of Halle's big day as he commented on the way their relationship continues to blossom.

He wrote on his own page: "Happy birthday to you. no one sees the commitment. the wear and tear. but i am proud to say i do — as our love goes and grows. (sic)"

Halle recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of 'Catwoman' by posing in topless with her cats for a series of racy pictures.

Now, she has joked that her pets forced her into the steamy photoshoot.

Speaking to Extra, she quipped: "The cats made me do it — they made me do it! I said, ‘Okay, let’s go'. The kitties wanted that.”

Halle has been on the big screen for more than 30 years and even won an Oscar for her role as a struggling widow in the 2001 film 'Monster's Ball ' but admitted that it has all come as a surprise to her, especially because she is still enjoying success at this stage in life.

She told E! News: "I never thought I’d be doing this as a career, and then at this age and stage still being able to work at the level that I work on. But I came along at the right time when women are having longevity. There was a time when you were 40, you were kind of done. So it’s so nice to be a part of Hollywood now."

'The Moonfall' actress is now starring opposite Mark Wahlberg in 'The Union' - which sees a man recruited by his high school sweetheart on a high-stakes US intelligence mission - and explained that it was "fun" to get the chance to tell such a story because it made her think about her own younger days.

She said: "It was fun. I think many of us fantasise about that one that got away or what if I would have stayed with my high school sweetheart, what would my life be like?"
