Halle Berry was snapped strolling out of an office building in Los Angeles late Thursday afternoon (August 6) with beau Gabriel Aubry by her side.

The 42-year-old actress didn’t let the shutterbugs bother her as she walked hand-in-hand with her fellow stone-faced partner.

At one point, one of the overzealous paparazzi lost his pants while trying to shoot the big screen beauty and even that didn’t make her crack a smile. What a pro!

Meanwhile, in a new interview with the Daily Mail, Halle gets candid about a range of topics, including love, marriage and her future. Some highlights:

Halle on being named sexiest woman alive: “I think those things are kind of silly because nobody is the sexiest anything, so I asked them to let me write my own article to poke fun at the label. What I thought was interesting about them choosing me was that I had just had a baby, so it was all about saying that motherhood can be sexy – that was the important thing. And I do feel sexier because I’m now more in line with my purpose.”

Halle on Gabiel: “We clicked instantly. And yes, he’s not at all bad on the eyes. I don’t know if younger men are easier to get on with because they’re not so set in their ways; all I know is that he’s easy for me to get along with.”

Halle on acting vs. motherhood: “Motherhood will always be my priority now, especially because I had a child for the first time at 41. My priority had been myself for a long, long time, but now it will always be Nahla. You think you know what love is – until you have a child and discover that unconditional mother love.”

Halle on aging: “As a mature woman, you are no longer trying to prove yourself. You pretty much have figured out who you are. And I feel the right to do and say and be whatever I want. I don’t have to make excuses. And I’m no longer so ambitious that I spend every waking moment trying to be something I’m not, which I did in my youth.”

Halle on having another baby: “I’m certainly open to having another, so I hope so.”
