TALK OF THE TOWN: Halle Berry shares stunning snap to mark her 54th birthday

TALK OF THE TOWN: ‘Life just gets better and better’: Hallelujah for Halle Berry as Oscar-winning actress shares stunning snap to mark her 54th birthday

‘Life just gets better and better,’ beamed Halle Berry to her 6.4 million Instagram followers as she shared this stunning snap to mark her 54th birthday on Friday. 

Just in case you were wondering, that was not a typo – the actress really is now well into her 6th decade, despite looking years younger.

The Oscar-winning star of Bond film Die Another Day, as well as X-Men and Swordfish, took to a longboard to cruise the streets near her Malibu mansion, which she bought for $8million (£6million) in 2004. 

Divorced Halle, who has two children, Nahla, 12, and six-year-old Maceo, maintains a gruelling fitness regime which includes martial arts and intermittent fasting. 

It’s reassuring to know that looking that good doesn’t come easy!

If she hadn’t found chart success with her distinctive vibrato voice, Ellie Goulding may have had an alternative career… as a Rod Stewart imitator! 

The 33-year-old singer tells me: ‘When I started, I had such a deep voice. It was often very husky, very Rod Stewart, because I apparently wasn’t using it in the right way.’ 

She says she learned how to turn her voice from gravelly to soprano – or did someone tell her: ‘Wake up Ellie, I think I’ve got something to say to you…’?

If you feel like doing some serious shopping after being stuck at home during lockdown, Louis Vuitton may have just the thing for you – a bomber jacket made from crocodile skin and priced at just £136,000! 

Sadly, I fear the hand-painted jacket, that costs as much as some houses and is available to order this autumn, lacks just one thing… taste.
