Halle Berry Named Sexiest Woman Alive
October 8th, 2008
Esquire magazine has crowned Halle Berry as their sexiest woman alive for 2008 with the actress stunned saying, “Well, I don’t know exactly what it means, but being forty-two and having just had a baby, I think I’ll take it.”
Berry wrote an acceptance speech for her award thanking the magazine but asking, “I’ve been in the business for more than twenty years, and you decide now, at this particular time, that I’m the sexiest woman alive? Come on. I mean, you couldn’t go with the Bond-girl year? You didn’t like the orange bikini? I liked the orange bikini. That would have been a pretty good year. Or what about the ‘Monster’s Ball’ year? That was a sexy moment.”
Berry adds, “There are billions of women on the planet, but let’s just say for shits and giggles that I am the sexiest woman alive… I would thank the good folks at Esquire for thinking outside the box — even if those folks are just eight editors wearing competing seventy-five-dollar button-down shirts, swinging themselves around in cheap desk chairs in some windowless conference room somewhere above Manhattan.”
