Berry recently revealed that she would be spending her birthday focusing on women's health, in an interview with Extra TV during the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie The Union.

Speaking with the outlet on the red carpet, she said she plans to spend her big day advocating for a new bill to raise public awareness on menopause, as well as provide training and resources to health care providers.

“I'm going to be in West Virginia with Senator [Shelley] Capito doing some advocacy work for my menopause bill,” Berry said, referring to the Advancing Menopause Care and Mid-Life Women’s Health Act introduced this past May.

“I can't think of a better way to spend my birthday than fighting for all women,” she continued. “Can’t wait to get there.”

The Catwoman actress said it was an important topic for her to advocate for because she hadn't known much about menopause when she went through it.

“I realized about four years ago I was in perimenopause, and I thought I was going to miss it,” she told Extra TV. “That’s what I thought — that’s how little I knew about it.”

“I realized if I knew so little about it, millions of other women must not know anything either because I pride myself on having the best doctors,” Berry continued. “I take my health seriously and I knew nothing, so that sort of ignited this fire in me to help myself and as I help myself, I know I am helping millions.”

She also noted that focusing on women’s health is going to be her “second act,” and said the main thing she thinks about right now is, “How can I change the world for women and get us the health care we deserve during this really important time in our life?”

“It’s got to change, and I say it’s going to come now,” Berry added.
