Halle Berry thought she could 'skip' perimenopause. A health scare after 'great sex' was a wake-up call.

Halle Berry isn't afraid to talk about a "dirty little word" — menopause — and she wants Hollywood to listen up.

The Oscar-winning actress and first lady Jill Biden spoke together at Monday's A Day of Unreasonable Conversation. The event, held at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, brought together entertainment and political figures with content creators "to engage in critical discourse on the most urgent issues of our time." Berry and the first lady tackled women's health as one of the first panels of the day as they want storytellers to write more on the topic. The 57-year-old actress gave everyone plenty to talk about.

"First of all, my ego told me that I was gonna skip [menopause]," Berry said. "I'm in great shape. I'm healthy. ... So that makes one think, Oh, I can handle menopause. I'm going to eat right, exercise, and I'm gonna skip that whole thing. You don't skip it. But I was so [uneducated] at that time. I wish I knew then when I know now."

As it turns out, an intimate moment with boyfriend Van Hunt led her to discover she was in perimenopause.
