Halle Berry Esquire Magazine November 2008 Cover, Photos Sexiest Woman Alive 2008

Oscar winning actress Halle Berry has been selected by Esquire Magazine as “Sexiest Woman Alive 2008.” She graces the cover of the November 2008 issue, is featured in a photo spread and she wrote the cover story article. The cover parodies the former U.S. President Bill Clinton Esquire Magazine cover from 2000.

“Well, I don’t know exactly what it means but being 42 and having just had a baby, I think I’ll take it,” Berry wrote.

Esquire said it dressed Berry in a racier version of Clinton’s suit jacket and blue tie to recreate an iconic cover for its 75th anniversary celebration.

Berry starred last year in the movie “Things We Lost in the Fire” and is due to star next year in “Frankie and Alice,” a film about a woman with multiple personality disorder.

In the Esquire article, Berry describes things she finds sexy. It turns out that spaghetti and wine are major turn-ons.

“Sexy is not about wearing sexy clothes or shaking your booty until you damn near get hip dysplasia; it’s about knowing that sexiness is a state of mind — a comfortable state of being,” she said.

Berry won an Oscar in 2002 for her role in the movie “Monster’s Ball.” She played the wife of an executed murderer who becomes romantically involved with a guard at the prison where her husband had been held.
