*Halle Berry praised her “Crime 101” co-star, Chris Hemsworth, for defending and supporting her during the filming of the new movie.
The Oscar winner and “Avengers” star lead the cast of the upcoming film, adapted from Don Winslow’s novella and directed by Bart Layton. While promoting the project, Berry shared a heartfelt anecdote about Hemsworth’s, revealing how he stood up for her during a challenging moment in the production.
Speaking to E! News at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Berry said, “[He’s] a stand-up guy. I won’t go into it now, but he stood up for me in a moment in our movie, and instantly I knew right then I’m gonna follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of his life because he stood up for a woman. He didn’t have to do it and he did it.”
Hemsworth reciprocated the admiration, admitting he felt initially daunted by Berry’s presence. “I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years,” he said. “I was obviously very intimidated to sit opposite her within a scene and try and, you know, not just be in awe of what she was doing.”
He went on to describe how Berry’s professionalism fostered a creative and comfortable environment, adding, “Certain people just bring out not just the best in you, but also sort of a comfort level where it feels like it’s a place to explore and it’s a place to examine different ideas and try different things. And that was the experience [with Berry]. I loved every second of it.”
