Actress Katherine Heigl says she is thrilled about turning 40. Heigl celebrated her 40th birthday on November 24 and commemorated the occasion with an introspective social media post. The actress shared photographs from her birthday soiree. Standing in front of huge silvery balloons of the number 40, she grinned as she posed in a sweater and jeans, reports dailymail.co.uk.

"Well... I am officially 40 years old. I know you are going to think I'm full of it but the truth is... I'm pretty damn thrilled to be 40," she began her post.
