The milestone comes as the veteran star reflects on aging, health, and a career spanning decades from pageant stages to Hollywood blockbusters.
Celebrating a Milestone Birthday in Mexico
Reflecting on her perspective regarding age, Berry appeared on NBC’s Today show in June, where she discussed entering a new decade. “I have a whole different perspective on being 60 than I used to,” Berry said during her appearance. “I feel healthier, I feel wiser, I feel more authentic, I feel more in control of my life. Right now, I’m at my best, and I’m really happy to be alive and this healthy.”
Health Routines and Managing Type 1 Diabetes
Berry’s commitment to physical well-being involves a strict regimen developed after she was diagnosed with diabetes at age 22. In an interview with Women’s Health, the actress detailed how she eliminated sugar completely following her diagnosis. “At the time, my health wasn’t good, so I cut out sugar entirely,” Berry stated, noting she avoids candy, desserts, and overly sweet fruits.
For nearly two decades, her diet has relied heavily on steak, lamb, chicken, eggs, and leafy green vegetables, alongside a strict keto diet adopted later in life to manage menopausal symptoms. To maintain her physical conditioning, Berry exercises five days a week, combining yoga, strength training, cardio, and martial arts.
From Pageant Success to Hollywood History
Born in 1966, Berry first gained public attention at age 17 by winning the Miss Teen All-American title, followed by a runner-up finish in the 1986 Miss USA pageant. She transitioned to professional acting in 1989.
