Halle Berry says she thinks she's 'ugly'

Knight Ridder ^

Halle Berry solidified her place as one of the world's sexiest women with her role as Bond girl Jinx in "Die Another Day."

But the Oscar-winning actress (Monster's Ball) says she still doesn't see herself as a beautiful star.

"To be totally honest, most of the time I think I'm ugly," she told the German magazine Journal fur die Frau. "I see myself without makeup every morning and that's why I don't have illusions anymore. I certainly don't feel like a big star."

Berry added that being black still hinders her progress in Hollywood.

"For many film studios and directors skin color remains a problem. They don't believe that the audience will accept a black actor in the main role. These narrow-minded people underestimate the public and prevent advancement in the industry."

Berry's next film will be "X-2," the sequel to "X-Men" slated for a May 2 release.

Yeah . . . . . . . . . . . . . ugly.

Someone needs to tell Halle that fishing for compliments isn't becoming.

[Rodney King]

Title should be "Halle Berry smoking crack"

[RightWingNut]

If she's ugly, I would love to see beautiful !!!

[Lurker]

She is ugly.

But, she doesn't know why she's ugly.

It must really suck to be her.

Some women would look good if they were green, purple, magenta, etc. Or, so I heard from Cpt. Kirk. I happen to agree.

I will say one thing about Halle. Viewing many and various photos of her at various awards ceremonies over the years, she is probably the best and most tastefully dressed actress in Hollywood. Her gowns are original and elegant, she has a great figure and she leaves most of the other scrags pawing in the dust.

I've had better ;)

[Colonel_Flagg]

I think I'd take her bank account, though. I mean, looks notwithstanding. :)

Oh, please...what is she talking about...if the role is good, people will watch it, black or white. Why does Hollywood think so low of everyone else?

[Fixit]

She just sees her inner ugliness.

She taunts other mixed race children like Tiger Woods who say they are mixed race and not black and says they're confused? Her mom told her she's black and it seems to me her mother gave her more of a color consciousness than other people. Halle Berry seems to me to be the most confused person in the universe. I do feel sorry for her as she had a very hard life. She spat on her father's grave and didn't go to his funeral. Some people are never satisfied, and this only shows you that success and money doesn't always solve problems.

Only from the neck up!

The Hollywood liberals do indeed underestimate the public. They project their own bigotry upon the "red" zones of America.

[cyborg]

Yep but say that to Halle Berry and she'lll curse you out. She thinks there is a racist behind every corner. I guess it depends on when and where you live.

Money solves financial problems.

We can clearly see how Halle Berry has gotten nowhere on her lack of good looks, and Hollywood's aversion to casting her in what -- about a dozen movies so far?

[Squantos]

Can't really say ....I've never seen her from the neck up.........:o)

Stay Safe !

[proust]

I agree. If she kept a bag over her head she be perfect. Maybe someone with photoshop could put the flag over her head like the Saddam statue.
