Hollywood star Halle Berry has proved time and again that a brilliant actor can also be s*xy and sensuous without compromising on either skill. From being a Bond girl, playing Catwoman, taking on the powerful mutant Storm in X-Men, to becoming the first black woman to win an Oscar for a Leading Role in Monster’s Ball, Berry has created history and inspired many women to dream big.
With Halle Berry known to be a feminist and an advocate for the equality of women in every sphere, the Oscar winner tried to bring these strong aspects to her role as the seductive Jinx in the James Bond film, Die Another Day. But as is the norm, Bond girls always end up in bed with the suave 007 agent. But one sizzling scene featuring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry proved to be almost fatal for the X-Men actor.
Halle Berry Was Saved By Pierce Brosnan During Disastrous Scene
In 2002, Halle Berry, fresh off her Oscar win, took on the part of the iconic Bond girl in Pierce Brosnan’s Die Another Day in which the star stunned audiences with her ode to the famous bikini scene featuring Ursula Andress in 1962’s Dr. No. In addition, Berry and Brosnan were also involved in many sizzling intimate interactions on screen. But one s*x scene with a fig turned very quickly from being sensuous to dangerous for the Catwoman actor. Speaking to The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Berry shuddered while recalling the incident.
“One time I was doing a scene with Pierce Brosnan in Die Another Day. I was supposed to be all s*xy and trying to seduce him with a fig, and then I ended up choking on it.”
Fortunately for the Moonfall star, Pierce Brosnan’s presence of mind and quick grasp of first aid resulted in the James Bond actor performing a skilled move to extract the fig out of a choking Halle Berry. The star, who called Brosnan one of her most favorite people, said that she was eternally grateful for his quick action.
Halle Berry And Angelina Jolie Will Team Up For Maude V Maude
In what is being termed as one of the biggest casting coups of recent times, Halle Berry will join forces with Oscar-winning colleague Angelina Jolie for the first time in Warner Brothers’ Maude V Maude. Apart from featuring two powerful women on screen, the film will also be produced by Berry and Jolie with Roseanne Liang on board to be the director.
While relevant information about the plot of the film and other details are yet to be revealed, inside sources say that it will be a global thriller with a “Bond vs. Bourne” type vibe that will have multiple locations for the action to unfold. Both superstars are veterans of the genre with Halle Berry having flexed her muscles in the Bond installment Die Another Day with other action-heavy credits in John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum and the X-Men movies. The Perfect Stranger star’s potential chemistry with Jolie is expected to be the highlight of the film.
Die Another Day is available for rent on Amazon Prime.
