‘Dem Legs Doe’: Halle Berry Shuts Down the Internet with Bikini Picture

Halle Berry is down to take part in any activities that allow her to put on a bikini.

On Monday, June 7, she posted a photo on Twitter and Instagram of her lying on the beach in a bikini. As she looked out in the opposite direction of the camera, she propped her legs up perfectly, making them the star of the photo. She wrote, “if it requires a bikini, my answer is always yes please!”

Fans reacted to Berry’s stunning photo. One person named Berry as his “boo,” despite her already being in a relationship with singer Van Hunt. He said, “Dem legs doe, my boo since back in the day is still fine, im 45 and I need your regime.” Someone else said, “If that’s what it takes, then just let it loose. That’s all. And you know you look damnnn good on that beach, huh? Go head on Ms. Van!”

Another fan wrote, “C’mon this lady gotta be a vampire, doesn’t age one bit.” But Berry’s amazing looks is less about finding ways to stay looking young and more about trying to stay healthy and fit. At 19 years old she was diagnosed with diabetes, and has been working on her diet and physical health ever since. “When I realized that I had a disease that I could actually manage by my diet and exercise, and live longer and stay healthier? That’s when I got really committed to making fitness and exercise and diet a real part of my life,” the 54-year-old told Harper’s Bazaar magazine last year.

She added, “The by-product of that has been that I’ve stayed in pretty good shape all these years, and I feel strong, and I can run around after my little kid. Trying to manage that disease has really benefited me in so many other ways.”

Last year, the “Catwoman” star partnered with Peter Lee Thomas, who is her trainer, and together they launched “Re-Spin,” a fitness clothing line. So while Berry continues her fitness and yoga, expect to see more and more of her perfect legs!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
