Angela Bassett turned 60 years old today and to celebrate, she shared a smoking hot photo of her sporting a bikini on Instagram and Twitter.
"Happy Birthday to all my Leo brothers and sisters." she wrote. "Let’s eat cake!" The photo shows Bassett smirking for the camera as she rocks multicolored printed two-piece bathing suit.
One Twitter user wrote "I didn’t want to do an ab circuit after my workout... then a friend sent me a picture of @ImAngelaBassett ... long story short I did abs... a lot of them," to which Bassett replied, "There you go girl!"

This isn't the first time the Mission Impossible star has flaunted her figure on social media.
Bassett is aware that people are mesmerized with her youthfulness, though she doesn't quite know how to respond. "I guess it’s a high-class problem to have,” she told Porter magazine in January. “But you don’t really know what to say when someone says: ‘Oh my God, you look so good.’ What do they expect? For you to be completely broken down?”
So how does she stay in such great shape? Part of it is being "regimented and rigorous" about what she eats, she added to Porter. “Diet is 85% of the whole thing for me," she said. She also works out with a trainer four to five times a week when she's home in LA, but not when she's traveling.
"I’ll try to get to the hotel gym and do 30 minutes of cardio, and lift a couple of weights or something," she told the magazine. "But I’m not getting up at 4am to workout."
That's an exercise tip we can get behind.
