Halle Berry voted `sexiest woman in the world` by 2003 FHM magazine poll (UK)

24-May-2003 • Actor News

Ananova have reported that Halle Berry has been named the world`s sexiest woman by FHM magazine - the oldest ever winner at 36. The actress is also the first black recipient of the honour.

More than five million votes were cast for this year`s FHM 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2003 competition.

Berry said: "I thank you very much for choosing me - wow. That`s a pretty heady title. I`m not so sure I live up to it, but thank you anyway for choosing me."

The star chose an unlikely part as her sexiest feature: "I think my feet are my sexiest body part. People I find really sexy include Angelina Jolie, George Clooney and my mum."

Berry shot up 33rd place in 2002 thanks to her sexy high-profile roles, including Die Another Day. The oldest previous winner was fellow Bond girl Teri Hatcher in 1997, who was 32 at the time of her win.
