Helen Hunt: Surfin' Bikini Beauty

Gracefully aging with the help of quite the active lifestyle, Helen Hunt looked fit and fabulous while out surfing in Malibu, CA over the weekend (January 15).

The 47-year old "Mad About You" actress showed off her ripped figure as she stripped out of her wetsuit following an afternoon of riding the waves in the Pacific locale.

In related news, Miss Hunt recently vowed that her 7-year-old daughter Makena Lei will not be pursuing a career in film at a young age.

When asked about the possibility, the Academy Award winner said, "Oh God, no! I can't look at it that way. She's 6, and I was older than that, at least."

Insisting that movie-making is a "very adult place to be," Helen added, "There are ways to do it where you're not on a movie set with 60 adults, which I loved at the time, but as a parent, I don't know that I'd be dying to put her in that spot."
