Why is Halle Berry Considered Such a Great Beauty?

Throw a Frisbee at the Beach in My Hometown and it Will Bounce Off at Least a Dozen More Attractive Women

Why is Halle Berry considered such hot stuff? Why is Halle Berry considered such a beautiful woman; such a sex symbol; such a great actress? Frankly, I’m flummoxed. I’ll put aside her alleged acting talent for the moment mainly because I haven’t seen most of her movies. Still, from what I have seen, I’m underwhelmed. So underwhelmed am I by Halle Berry’s acting chops that it also stuns me when I come across the X-Men moves during their weekly appearance on FX. You see, even though I actually did see the first two X-Men movies in the theater, I always forget that Halle Berry was even in it; such is her forgettability.

But let’s focus on Halle Berry the great beauty. Maybe I just happen to live in a town with an unfairly high number of attractive women, but on any average day I come across at least a half dozen different females whom I consider to be far more attractive than Miss Berry. I’m not saying she’s ugly or anything. I am saying she’s thoroughly, unimaginatively plain.

There are any number of actresses far more beautiful than Halle Berry. But to hear how people go on and on about her you would think Halle Berry is a combination of Greta Garbo, Rita Hayworth, Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Raquel Welch. I just don’t get it. My wife think Halle Berry is gorgeous. I think my wife is roughly ten times more beautiful. At the very least.

do the same?" comments. I still think that someone with such a high profile as Halle Berry, someone who speaks out about diabetes regularly, owes it to the diabetes community to get an accurate diagnosis and to talk about it. I've heard comments from a lot of people that it's Ms. Berry's diabetes and she doesn't have to give details about it. Up to a point, that's true, but when she goes on television and makes such potentially dangerous statements, then I believe she does have an obligation to set the record straight and to come clean with the public. The impression I get, and I am just going with my feelings here, is that Ms. Berry is ashamed of having type 2 and therefore says she's a type 1 to alleviate some strange sense of blame she has. Type 2 falls into that "you deserve it" category, along with lung cancer, for many people. It's an attitude that's exacerbated by the media, unfortunately, and one attitude that I think needs to change.

Halle Berry is hot. She is also a total moron and a liar too. I got a link to an article from ABC News today about Halle Berry. I was encouraged to see that doctors are equally concerned with her claims that she's cured herself of type 1 diabetes. "Diabetics quickly took to the blogosphere to condemn Berry for claiming that a change in diet could cure Type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which the pancreas permanently fails to produce insulin, the vital hormone that regulates sugar levels in the blood." In the article, Dr. Francine Kaufman was quoted as saying "...type 1...means their immune system has destroyed the insulin producing part of pancreas. In that case, there is no way to wean yourself off insulin." Dr. Kaufman is a respected endocrinologist and diabetes researcher and seeing her statement, in black and white, is fantastic. She's someone we can point to as an undisputed expert when we get the inevitable "Well, Halley Berry cured herself - why can't you

hmmmm, halle berry ugly?, why even post that? All of you who claim she's "ugly", look at the harsh realities, you aint gonna get a girl/partner half as good looking as her, and a certain form of jealousy creeping in. That is a figurative explanation, literally it means you are most likely ugggggggly. I mean I might not even get such a nice girl as her but at least I dont become a hater to make myself feel better. Be ahppy for ehr beauty, gayneessss the way forward (no. not gay same sex love bum fun kinda fing, gay=happy looool) braaaap brap

I think those of you who claim Halle Berry is "ugly" are being ridiculous. If she's ugly I would love to see what your perception of beauty is, frankly. I am not insinuating that she is the only beautiful person on the planet because that would be absurd, but alleging that she is ugly is crazy. If you have nothing nice to say then keep your mouth shut.

Totally. Halle is plain looking. Pretty yes, beautiful no. Worthy of an Oscar - certainly not! The only more overrated actress out there - JULIA ROBERTS.

i actually agree with timothy. and, all these years, i thought i was the only one who thought that! halle is attractive, but i wouldn't use the term "gorgeous" either. she has plain features--very well-proportioned, symmetrical, and fitting the current american standards of beauty. so that's why, in my opinion, she is attractive. but i find exotic and unique beauty to be "gorgeous". beyonce is one. she doesn't just look like a bi-racial black with white features, but she looks more like a nubian queen. shakira is also gorgeous. allessandra ambrosio is another one (the brazillian victoria secret model with the delicate features). keira knightly, penelope cruz, anna kournikova, etc.

she has a beautiful body her face is 7/10 i guess its because everyone keeps saying shes beautiful and shoving it down our throats we have come to accept her that way but i want to break the mold and say SHES JUST AVERAGE skin colour is not the issue, i am dark skinned also. her features are just plain

I don't get it either. Pls people it's not about Halle Berry being black! Not crazy about beyonce, but anyone can see she can't be put side by side with ms berry. Halle berry is so plain. It's more on the features, not the color. She's got those eyebrows that make her look slightly angry all the time. Her facial complexion is pale. When she smiles, it's kinda scary. Her cheekbones are sticking out too much. Hey, we are talking about outer beauty here, so I'm just being objective.

Halle Berry is beautiful, and she is graceful and talented, please stop hating on her, you are making yourself look really stupid.

hmmm, to contribute to this pointless debate, as i have some time on my hand, I'd have to go with everyone's opinions. When I first saw Halle Berry, I was like , wow, here's a rare thing, pretty black who looked almost white, but then I know many pretty ladies, prettier or not is not the question. The trend for colour is a great thing...I think white women can be very beautiful, but what's the point of having just the classical white beauties...limits the amount of eye candy guys can get on TV and appreciate in life. Now is Halle Berry a nice person: I would think so....she doesnt look bitchy, she never acted in any lame-ass way. Is she mystifying ? I don't see it, Alba in Dark Angel would be a great example, but berry, she's too soft, not edgy enough. Angelina Jolie? Beautiful young girl turned horrendous fat lipped skinny chick ? yes, scary yes, mystifying ? yes !!!! she fits the bill (or barely) with her boney ass, big lips and beautiful cat's eyes....ah well, beauty is an amazing

I agree with you, she's not that gorgeous. I mean, yeah sure she's okay. I'd probably hit it, but I see a dozen hotter women every day.

I agree: Halle Berry is ugly. She's got to be the most overrated actress in hollywood, and when it comes to her looks, she also doesn't live up the hype.

halle berry is sooooooooooooo beautiful

Halle Berry is not that Beautiful. No one famous is... So you really think in all those photos you see of the famous arnt tampered with? The skin is airbrushed, a tan is added, eye color brightned, heck! even thier hair is tampered with in thier photos, even thier boobs are made bigger!! its pathetic...what this world has come to consider beautiful is disgusting. Those girls are just as average looking as any random you walk by on the street. And youve got to remember...us average women dont go through hours of make-up, hair, tanning etc everyday. So you know very few of these famous chicks everone considers gorgeous would be naturally beautiful...does that make sense? =P
