Unexpected Reunion on the Red Carpet
More than 20 years after Adrien Brody’s memorable kiss at the Oscars, Hollywood star Halle Berry has playfully returned the favor. During a recent red carpet event in Los Angeles, Berry (58) spotted the Oscar-nominated actor (51) from the film „The Brutalist“ and kissed him on the lips, as captured in a viral video.
„It was a great night for him, and for me as well. Being part of that moment… I had to pay him back tonight,“ the actress told the industry magazine „Variety.“ She noted that while she had seen Brody at parties, this was the first time since that iconic evening that she had encountered him on the red carpet. „He is nominated this year. He deserves it,“ she added.
The Original Oscar Kiss
In 2003, Berry presented Brody with the award for his leading role in the Holocaust drama „The Pianist.“ After receiving the Oscar, Brody embraced the actress and kissed her on the lips, a gesture that made headlines at the time. This year, he is vying for a second Oscar for his role in the historical drama „The Brutalist.“
