How did Halle Berry become such a big star in the first place?

“She fukked the right execs”
Chick has always been married and is usually the one who got cheated on. No big scandals all these years, no trashy public displays, no disowning her blackness.

But yeah she’s just a talentless whore in the black community because of one sex scene.

Yeah this grudge some posters have is kinda disturbing

Swordfish got her looks in white Hollywood...followed by the Bond role and Monster Ball. That was her hot streak 2001-2003 ish.

That movie where she is a article writer with Bruce Willis is one of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen...well the part where she calls out her sidekick for coming off like a creep "You fukking freak" He was breaking his neck for her but she showed those current age whore tactics...use him like a dummy and fukk the lazy shaky nygga on the side..Got ultra clean and sprayed her p*ssy for that nygga too PURE COMEDY.

She was Miss America. She's seems like a "pro's pro". Someone who generally leaves her personal life at home, shows up on time, and secures her bag on the low.

Lately she's taken bad roles. I think Catwoman did her in. I think even as successful as the role was, she shouldn't have been Storm in X-Man. I dont think thrillers/action is her lane. Halle Berry has a few classics but nothing lately because she's getting old and her lane been taken over by the mediocre whites and younger biracials coming for her top spot.

I like Halle though. Seems like a decent woman.Seeing her titties in Swordfish changed my god dam life at 12 years old

nikka I don’t know. Did you not see where I said I missed most of her career which s why I don’t understand?

Oh you one of them nikkas..... you implying she a shyt actress...... when you should know good and goddam well that talentless black actors/actresses don't make it in Hollywood...... NONE........

fukk Halle

She had everyone fooled into thinking David Justice laid hands on her

I didn't forget

Glad OP admitted to being young, because it's a different time now. Halle came out in a time when being ridiculously good looking got women roles; not just in movies, but entertainment in general. I don't think she would be given the chance to be a huge star if she came out today.

Kim Kardashian is a superstar today
Black Chyna is a superstar today
Megan Goode and Paula Patton are horrid actresses and have gotten their own tv shows

A 22 year old Halle would not have a problem getting a shot

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

she is hot as fukk

 

[Lootpack]

she is hot as fukk

Man I just came outta Kingsman 2, she still got it

 

[MenacingMonk]

Always crushed hard on her.

Breh brought back the memories of watching the Flinstones.

I wouldn't even call it a grudge. It's a combination of things:

Some people (some men) think that the only way women get jobs/things is through sex.

Then on top of that, add some of this sites obsession with what percent black people are.

Then on top of that, add some people's obsession with what race a woman's (or man's, but mostly women) partner is.

Then add the fact that although a large chunk of the site is anti-marriage, they're simultaneously obsessed with unmarried women

She's fighting a losing battle when it comes to The Coli lol

 

[hex]

We can sit here and split hairs over how talented she is or isn't and who she supposedly fukked to get roles....but the shyt ain't rocket science. She was (and still is) bad as shyt and she starred in some of the most popular movies back in the day....it doesn't take much more than that.

Thread would make more sense if it was about Scarlett Johansson.

She has that bubbly personality like Cameron Diaz, So a lot of her serious roles come across as her trying too hard to be serious. And even though she's sexy, she doesn't have that sexual energy that oozes out of certain actresses. Boomerang being the perfect example. Her character was quirky and fun and attractive, but Robin Givens was oozing sexuality, like you can feel her p*ssy vibrating through the screen. Halle needed one of those movies with a Tom Cruise type, but she probably will do better in television at this point, Like JLo has done with Shades of Blue.
