On a recent episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the effervescent Halle Berry made a memorable appearance, and the talk show host couldn’t contain his excitement. “I miss you,” Fallon exclaimed, to which Berry responded, “I miss you too. I love coming here.” The energy was contagious, and the two dove right into a lively conversation.
As Fallon mentioned, Berry had just celebrated her birthday, and she revealed that she spent it in Charleston, West Virginia, advocating for her menopause bill alongside Senator Capito. It was a meaningful way for the actress to spend her special day, as she explained, “I don’t celebrate my birthday anyway, so I got to do something that I felt was really important, which made me happy.” Fallon couldn’t help but express his admiration, stating, “When I think that you can’t get cooler, you get cooler.”
The conversation then shifted to Berry’s recent experience at the Olympics. She had the honor of carrying the torch, while Fallon had participated in the closing ceremonies. Berry couldn’t contain her excitement as she shared her experience in Cannes, carrying the torch. And to everyone’s surprise, she revealed that the torch wasn’t as heavy as expected, jokingly adding, “But It’s lighter than you thought.”
The duo’s chemistry continued to shine as they reminisced about past episodes of The Tonight Show and the gymnastics they had done together. Fallon praised Berry as a fun guest, and he expressed his admiration for her entertaining posts on social media. He mentioned that she had recently posted photos to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her iconic role as Catwoman, to which Berry replied, “We just had our anniversary, like a few weeks ago.” The actress also shared adorable photos of rescue kitties, explaining that they showed up in her yard and she couldn’t resist sharing them with her followers.
Turning the conversation back to Catwoman, Fallon asked Berry about her memories of filming the movie. Berry acknowledged that the film received negative reviews, but she expressed her joy in seeing that children now appreciate it. “So it’s so vindicating, right? Because now they’re saying it’s cool and, like, what the heck was everybody’s problem with it?” she said with a laugh.
The conversation then took an exciting turn as Berry discussed her new film, The Union, an action-packed spy thriller co-starring Mark Wahlberg. She revealed that her character, a high-school sweetheart turned secret spy, pulls Wahlberg’s character out of obscurity to become her partner in crime. Fallon praised Berry’s action skills, and Berry revealed that both she and Wahlberg insisted on doing their own stunts whenever possible. She even jokingly encouraged Wahlberg by saying, “Bro, I’m older than you. Get up. Put your stuff down. Use that body.”
To give viewers a taste of what to expect from The Union, Berry and Fallon watched a clip featuring their charismatic chemistry. The film, directed by Berry, promises to deliver an action-packed and thrilling experience for audiences. As the segment came to an end, Fallon announced, “The Union premieres tomorrow on Netflix.”
With her infectious energy and inspiring projects, Halle Berry continues to capture the hearts of audiences. Her appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon was yet another reminder of her charisma and talent. From her iconic role as Catwoman to her new film, The Union, Berry’s dedication to her craft and entertaining performances have solidified her as a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry.
