Halle Berry couldn’t stop laughing during a live segment on Today With Jenna & Sheinelle. This happened right after the X-Men star misunderstood Jenna Bush Hager’s question as NSFW, which led Sheinelle Jones, another cohost, to call Berry “naughty.”
Halle Berry and Jenna Bush Hager get caught up in an NSFW mix-up
On the May 28 episode of Today with Jenna and Sheinelle, Berry played a game of Pink Chair Questionnaire with the hosts, who asked the actress questions about her secret nickname, her TV guilty pleasure, and a lot more. The 59-year-old, who is the first and only Black woman to win the Academy Award for Best Actress, revealed her little-known nickname, Baby Boo, and sang along to Olivia Dean’s A Couple Of Minutes.
Hager then asked Berry, “Biggest Ick?” Berry, however, interpreted it differently. The Oscar winner immediately started laughing while covering her mouth. She thought Hager had asked what her “biggest d**k” was. Berry instantly said, “I was like, ‘What?’” “It sounded like that, didn’t it?”
Jones replied, “No. You are naughty!” While Hager said, “It’s like the word ‘biggest’ with the word ‘ick. She’s right. We should have a five-second delay between the ‘Heated Rivalry’ and ‘biggest ick.’”
Following the NSFW moment on air, the actress shared her experiences with menopause. She said, “I’m all about women’s health and female empowerment right now, and aging gracefully, not turning ourselves into a monster, but staying who we are and knowing it’s a privilege to age.” She then questioned, “How can we do that gracefully with strength and keep our integrity intact, as to who we are? And realizing that we’re more than this shell … the real good is what’s come from our life experience.”
“I thought, ‘I’m just like every woman — no different,'” Berry said, adding, “So if that’s what I was feeling, I knew that every other woman was feeling the same thing. They just were afraid to say it out loud.”
According to Hola!, Halle Berry will play the President of the United States in The President Is Missing, an adaptation of former US President Bill Clinton and James Patterson’s novel of the same name.
