Paging Ms. Kensington!

In a recent interview surrounding her upcoming movieChristmas in the Caribbean, actress and modelElizabeth Hurleytold PEOPLE she’d “of course” be down for reprising her role as Vanessa Kensington from 1997’sAustin Powers:International Man of Mysteryand 1999’sAustin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, should the opportunity arise.

That is, as long as it involves franchise starMike Myers, whom Hurley, 57, says “goes down as one of my very favorite costars.”

“A brilliant man, fabulously kind and gentle and of course one of the best comedians on Earth,” she praises Myers, 59.

But, Hurley adds, her wardrobe might need some updating. “I’m not sure I’d fit in my costumes again,” she says, joking that she’d have to do the film “in slightly different costumes.”

At the end of the day, though, “Mike is a genius,” she tells PEOPLE. “It would be wonderful to do something with him again.”

Myers played various characters inthe spy spoof film series, including the titular Austin “Danger” Powers and Powers' main nemesisDr. Evil.

Back in May, he told SiriusXM’sJess Caglethat he"would love to do" a fourth moviein the hit comedy franchise that also includedAustin Powers in Goldmember(2002).

He teased, “Ican neither confirm nor denythe existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist.”

Hurley is not one to shy away from an iconic fashion moment, havingshown off her figure this past summer in a pink sparkly Versace dresswith all-around cut-outs held together with mini gold chains, shortly after celebrating her 57th birthday.

“It’s challenging for all of us in this day and age, I think, to find the time for any kind of self-care,” Hurley continues. “And for me, self-care includes eating properly, eating healthily, avoiding junk food, avoiding processed food whenever possible. That’s not always possible because so many of us work on the run. I do, certainly.”

And theBedazzledactress recognizes that women are often seen as “the carers of the world, so very often we don’t care for ourselves.”

“But we won’t be around to care for other people if we don’t look after our own health,” she adds. “So I think it’s really important that sometimes we do what, for women, we sometimes feel is being selfish, which is actuallyto look after ourselves and our healthso that we can be there for everyone else.”
