Hi, I'm Halle Berry and this is the Wired autocomplete interview.
0:05
Yes, I have Googled myself.
0:19
What was Halle Berry's first movie role?
0:16
Jungle Fever.
0:21
I was very messed back then in Jungle Fever days.
0:16
I had to go to a real crack den.
0:21
I didn't shower, I didn't wash my hair, all that.
0:22
I've evolved since then, let's just say.
0:31
What are Halle Berry's dog's names in John Wick?
0:31
Oh God, what were my dog's names?
0:31
Um, I feel like a terrible dog mom.
0:35
The only names that come to my mind right now are my own dogs, Jackson and Roman, and my two kitties, Coco and Boots.
0:42
I don't remember.
0:45
I forgot, sorry.
0:52
What did Halle Berry win an Oscar for?
0:48
Oh, well, that was Monster's Ball.
0:52
Leticia Musgrove.
0:52
I mean, anytime you win an Academy Award, you automatically get put in this illustrious club that not many are part of.
1:04
So that was career-changing, life-changing, probably the highlight, definitely one of the highlights of my career.
1:04
What is Halle Berry's latest movie?
1:06
My last two movies were The Union and Never Let Go.
1:11
That hasn't come out yet.
1:14
Those are my last two movies.
1:26
Was Halle Berry Miss America?
1:18
No, I was not Miss America.
1:23
I was Miss Teen All-American, I was Miss Ohio in the Miss USA pageant, and I was Miss USA in the Miss World pageant.
1:38
I sort of got into my very first pageant by my boyfriend at the time and I wore my prom dress because he wanted to date a beauty pageant queen.
1:38
So he kind of wrangled me in there and once you win one of those things, you kind of have to go to the next and next and next and next.
1:38
So I ended up doing a pageant cycle that I didn't actually ask to get put on, but I loved it.
1:38
It was a great proving ground for me.
1:38
It taught me how to talk in front of people, how to be comfortable in my own skin, think on my feet, able to do interviews, like it was a wonderful thing to have done.
2:02
So, don't regret it.
2:07
How did Halle Berry become an actress?
2:04
Quite by accident, actually.
2:07
I didn't really set out to be an actor, I wanted to be a journalist.
2:10
I wanted to travel and go to war zones and sort of report on what was really happening in the world.
2:14
And I moved to Chicago and found that I was bored and I decided to take a class at Second City and it was my teacher there that said, I think you have some raw natural talent, have you thought about being an actor?
2:26
And that was the first time I thought about it when I was about 20 years old, 21 years old.
2:30
What James Bond movie was Halle Berry?
2:39
Oh, in that would be Die Another Day with Pierce Brosnan.
2:39
He will always be my Bond.
2:54
Always.
2:59
I'm a Pierce Brosnan fan.
2:59
He restored my faith in men on that movie.
2:59
There couldn't be a human who is more of a gentleman than Pierce Brosnan.
2:59
Bond wasn't on my wish list, no, to be in one, but I loved the movies, always.
2:54
But having been in one, I feel like I'm a part of cinematic history.
2:59
Those movies are iconic.
2:59
They will forever be a part of our history and I'm really honored to have been a part of one, especially with Pierce.
3:13
How long did Halle Berry train for John Wick 3?
3:09
Oh my God, a long time, probably eight or nine months before doing that movie.
3:17
I trained with, you know, my fight team.
3:19
I had to learn jiu-jitsu and movie fighting, some Taekwondo, some Muay Thai.
3:24
I also had to train with the dogs.
3:26
I did a lot of training for John Wick 3.
3:31
Halle Berry as Storm?
3:31
Yeah, that happened.
3:31
I really loved playing Storm, you know, being in the world of the X-Men and the mutants was always really important to me because being a woman of color, I have often felt on the outside of things.
3:31
I've often felt marginalized and overlooked and unseen and that's what the X-Men were all about.
3:54
These mutants finding their voice and finding a way to be seen and appreciated for who they really were and as a black woman, I really related to that.
4:01
So it was fun to put on the skin of Storm and to fly and to be a part of that kind of storytelling.
4:12
I thought it was really important.
4:12
Halle Berry vegan?
4:08
Oh hell no, that's not true.
4:14
Nothing against vegans, I love people that are vegans, great, or vegan, but I could never be a vegan.
4:24
Halle Berry pixie cut?
4:24
Yes, you know, I got that pixie cut because as a young actor, I used to go on auditions and I would sit in the room and there'd be 20 other girls that look just like me.
4:30
Long curly hair, you couldn't tell us apart.
4:31
The casting director would kind of go, "Uh, you," and I realized that I had to somehow distinguish myself from the others.
4:39
So all of a sudden one day, I decided to cut all of my hair off and that's where that pixie cut came from.
4:44
And the first audition after cutting that hair, I got my first acting job on a show called Living Dolls with that pixie cut.
4:51
So the pixie worked for me.
5:00
Halle Berry Time 100?
4:57
Oh yes, I just received this wonderful honor from Time Time 100 in health this year, um, because I've been fiercely advocating in Washington and I'm starting an online health company called Respin Health to really help women starting at perimenopause and through midlife.
5:17
It's a female longevity brand and I'm super excited about that.
5:17
There's been so little research, so little clinical trials, you know, doctors only spend one chapter in medical school learning about the menopausal body.
5:17
So it's time, it's time for women, it's time for us to get the healthcare that we need.
5:17
Where did Halle Berry?
5:17
Uhoh, these ones always scare me.
5:17
Where did Halle Berry grow up?
5:17
Well, I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio called Oakwood Village.
5:17
And I was a cheerleader and I played the flute and I was president of my class and editor of the school paper.
5:17
That's what I did when I was growing up.
5:17
Did Halle Berry sing in Dorothy Dandridge?
5:17
Well no, but I pretended to sing.
5:17
Wendy Williams actually did my movie singing.
5:17
I wanted to sing but I realized I could not.
5:17
So they were like, "We could use autotune, we could use all these things," and I thought, "No, no, no, Dorothy deserves better than that."
5:17
So we got Wendy Williams who really is a beautiful singer and she came and did the Dorothy singing for me.
5:17
Halle Berry Kevin Hart movie?
5:17
I guess you could say it was a movie, it was Kevin's standup movie and he asked me to be a part of the opening which was a really fun, it was the first time I really got to meet Kevin too and it was a fun little bit that we did.
6:29
It was fun.
6:32
Halle Berry in The Flintstones?
6:34
Oh yes, Rosetta Stone.
6:43
I was in The Flintstones, my character was modeled after Sharon Stone.
6:38
I was supposed to be this vampy, sexy, slinky character that was sort of channeling Sharon Stone.
6:48
That was really important for me because as a black woman being in Bedrock was pretty revolutionary at the time that I grew up watching The Flintstones and there were no black people in Bedrock until I got to play Rosetta Stone in The Flintstones.
7:04
So that was groundbreaking for me personally.
7:04
I think people also wanted to see, you know, a black person in Bedrock.
7:04
Halle Berry Never Let Go?
7:04
Ooh, that's a movie that I have coming out this fall.
7:04
I'm really proud of this one.
7:04
It's the first movie that my partner Holly Jeter and I have produced with our new company, Hi Holly.
7:04
It's something you've never seen before, it is seeing a mother and her two children in an environment that is very spooky.
7:04
It's a psychological thriller, kind of horror movie and I didn't think it was going to be as scary as it actually is.
7:04
I just saw it the other day for the first time and it's, it's, it's legit scary, probably because it's so real.
7:04
Halle Berry BAPs?
7:04
Oh BAPs, that makes me think of Robert Townsend, the late great Natalie Desselle, she's passed away now, but she was my partner in crime.
7:04
We had so much fun.
7:04
Ruth Carter did those amazing costumes that people dress up year after year and Halloween as those characters and it was an entree into comedy for me and I couldn't think of a better person to do that with and Robert Townsend.
7:04
It was over the top slapstick but it was a movie that had heart.
7:04
To this day, people tell me how much they like that movie.
7:04
So and Halle Berry Extant.
8:24
This is what people are, they're looking this stuff up.
8:27
Really?
8:31
Extant.
8:31
Extant was a while ago, that was a television show I did.
8:31
It was a show about a woman going to space and it was a lot of technical research that had, that I had to do in that movie and the hours, the hours were really long.
8:44
I had just had a baby so I was nursing, I would shoot and then I would go into my nursery and nurse, I would shoot, come back.
8:50
It was my first time having to be a mom and deal with what it was to be a mom, but also be a mom at work on a filming set like 16 hours a day.
8:56
It was probably the time I worked the hardest for sure.
9:09
Last one, Halle Berry Oscar dress.
9:09
That's a fond memory, that was a dress by Elie Saab and he wasn't really a known designer at that time, but I'm someone that doesn't always go for the hottest designer at the time, I go for the dress and what reflects how I want to feel in that moment and that was risky for me, but the film Monster's Ball that I won that Oscar for felt risky to me at the time that I made that movie.
9:33
So it was just sort of an homage to the risky feeling I had about the movie so I decided to wear a risky dress.
9:40
It's one of probably my most favorite dresses of all time.
9:44
I don't know that I'm surprised anybody, you know, Googles me at all actually.
9:49
So it was interesting.
9:49
That's all the questions today.
9:57
Thanks Wired, until next time.
