The Catwoman star admits she's not a big fan of celebrations around her age and can actually never recall ever having a bash.

She says, "I probably had one as a kid but I don't remember... but as far back as I can remember I don't ever remember having a birthday party."

And when her pals decided to give Berry a taste of birthday cake at one top secret bash, the savvy star caught wind of their plans and stayed away.

She tells U.S. chat show host Jimmy Kimmel, "One year, my friends, they said, 'No, you've gotta have a birthday party...' so one of my friends tipped me off that my friends were having a surprise party... and I just thought, 'Hmm, OK, watch what I'm gonna do'.

"I surprised them; I didn't show up to the surprise party. I was at home with my wine, watching TV... knowing that they were, like, waiting for me to show up.

"They learned the hard way and nobody has ever tried to give me a birthday party.

"I celebrate, but, like, with my kids... I do things with my family, (but) I just don't want a big to do."
