AceShowbiz - Halle Berry is set to make headlines once again, not for a new movie role, but for her pivotal role in carrying the Olympic torch on the famed Croisette in Cannes, France, ahead of the Paris Games. While some are eagerly anticipating her strut down the boulevard, others are less than thrilled about the temporary shutdown of the area's main attractions. Here's what you need to know.

The renowned "Monster's Ball" actress will be seen carrying the Olympic flame down the Croisette on Tuesday, June 18, a significant event leading up to the Paris Olympic Games. The Croisette, famed for its designer shops and scenic views, will experience a brief shutdown during Berry's relay, which has stirred mixed reactions among festivalgoers attending the Cannes Lions festival.

While many attendees are thrilled at the prospect of witnessing Berry in such a monumental moment, others have raised concerns over the timing of the event. A few festivalgoers have voiced their frustrations, questioning, "How am I supposed to get to my events if the Croisette is shut down?"

The shutting down of the boulevard is particularly problematic for certain events and shops unable to be accessed unless visitors have already crossed the street before Berry's procession.

Despite these concerns, some find the situation fortuitous. An unidentified ad executive noted, "It'll be so amazing to see her carrying the torch!" Expressing excitement, she added, "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," and mentioned that her events were store-side and, therefore, unaffected by the closure.

Halle Berry, 57, who has lately been an advocate on Capitol Hill for funding research and education around menopause, has also been making headlines off the big screen. In May, she emphatically argued that "The shame has to be taken out of menopause. We have to talk about this very normal part of our life that happens. Our doctors can't even say the word to us, let alone walk us through the journey."

As Berry prepares to grace the Croisette, the excitement in the air is palpable. The temporary disruptions might pose an inconvenience to some, but for others, it will be an unforgettable sight. All eyes will be on the famed boulevard when Berry carries the torch, symbolizing both the kickoff of the Paris Games and her continued efforts to inspire and lead in various avenues.
