Elizabeth Hurley's Mid Life Crisis  8/31/05

Elizabeth Hurley has been going through a mid-life crisis since she turned 40 in June (05), and admits she's behaving like a lunatic.

The actress/model insists she has developed a new energy and a lust for life since reaching the landmark and is in no mood to settle down.

Speaking at the launch of her new swimwear range Elizabeth Hurley Beach in Australia, she says, "I felt completely different and I formed the company for this beachwear just as my family were saying, 'Well, you've done quite well with your lovely home in the country and your baby, so we guess you'll be quieting down now.

"And I just went into this lunatic mode.

"I'm not about to take a sports car and drive off to Europe barefoot but I do feel like a real lunatic at the moment."
