Halle Berry says she did not want to play "the gorgeous girl" when she first started out in the movie industry because she was worried about being typecast as more of a model than an actress.
The 50-year-old "Extant" star came from a modelling background and was desperate not to be cast in movies solely on her looks, reported Female First.
"I didn't want to play the gorgeous girl. I came from the world of beauty pageants and modelling and right away when people heard that I got discounted as an actor," she said.
"I took on roles early on that really didn't rely on my physical self at all and that was a good way to sort of get some credibility within my industry.
