'Epic start to 2023': Tia Carrere posts racy beach pics in black bikini as ‘Wayne’s World’ star turns 56
ELEUTHERA, BAHAMAS: Tia Carrere looked stunning in a skimpy black halter-neck bikini as she celebrated her 56th birthday at a tropical getaway in the Bahamas. The 'Wayne's World' star, 56, uploaded a series of photos of herself swimming in the waters of the island Eleuthera while admitting to kickstarting her new year with her close friend in a social media post.
The actress, who played the love interest of Mike Myers, showed off her youthful glow as well as her fit figure in a snap where she can be seen standing in the crystal clear water while resting her arms on the ladder. The 'General Hospital' star tied her brunette locks in a slick-back ponytail and sported a pair of aviator shades while she enjoyed the warm sun in a black two-piece. "#happynewyear #happybirthday to me :-) Thank you thank you thank you @spychick_6 and #secretislandlair for an epic start to 2023 and the first day of the rest of my life! #eleuthera," she wrote in the caption of the post.

In another snap from the photo series, Carrere was wearing a patterned, one-piece swimsuit with a thin, deep V-neck cut while holding a paddle on the wavy water. Her hair was side-parted and left loose for the occasion. Carrere also shared a video of herself enjoying firecrackers bursting in the sky as she celebrated New Year's Eve with a friend. The actress and her friend donned beaming smiles while the latter also held a champagne glass in the selfie video.
The last two slides of the post found the actress sporting a straw hat with blue embellishments. Carrere stared directly into the camera while also flashing a smooth smile. The former model wore minimal makeup and went with a nude glossy lipstick shade to achieve the beach look. The selfie also focused on the clean blue ocean view that surrounded her.
In 2019, Carrere spoke candidly about being a sex symbol to Fox News Digital. "When I was first starting, I was just thankful," she said at the time. "Being an attractive, young female certainly afforded you some luxuries. People will see you, they are drawn to you. But then as time goes on, as you transition from your 20s to 30s and then 40s and 50s, there are treacherous waters that you need to navigate," Carrere continued. "If you only value yourself for your physical beauty and youth, you’re going to be lost. Because as time marches on, you can never be the girl that you were now that you’re a woman years later. You have to create a life, and you have to find joy and fulfillment outside of that identity. That’s why you do see these plastic surgery victims – they’re eternally chasing 28. You have to leave that. You have to mature and grow and find fulfillment elsewhere."
