Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie - Close ties through conversations about divorce
Film fans can look forward to a special duo: Angelina Jolie (48) and Halle Berry (57) will be seen together in "Maude v Maude". In an interview with "Variety", Berry described the film, which she will also produce with Jolie, as a mixture of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" and "Mission: Impossible" with a comedic twist. The actress also spoke about her relationship with her co-star and revealed that she had experienced a "difficult start" with Jolie.
Berry did not want to reveal the reason for the initial difficulties, but stated that there was a "good story" behind it. The bumpy start will "benefit us in our time together on screen", Berry emphasized in an interview with "Variety", adding that she was excited to "work with another woman and write a story with our sensibility and from our point of view. It's impressive." She also explained why the two women were able to form a close bond after all: "We talked a lot about divorces and exes," said the actress. "That brought us together, let's put it that way."
Halle Berry was married from 2013 to 2016 to French actor Olivier Martinez (57), with whom she has a son, and previously to former baseball player David Justice (57) and R&B singer Eric Benét (56). Daughter Nahla (15) comes from her relationship with Gabriel Aubry (47). Berry is now in a relationship with Van Hunt (53). Angelina Jolie was married from 2014 to 2019 to Brad Pitt (59), with whom she has six children, and previously to Billy Bob Thornton (68; 2000-2003) and Jonny Lee Miller (51; 1996-2000).
