Adrien Brody entered Oscars notoriety in 2003, when he unexpectedly kissed Halle Berry onstage.
On the Oscars red carpet this Sunday, Halle Berry got her playful payback.
In jest, of course, Berry, an Oscar winner for “Monster’s Ball,” stole a kiss from Brody before the ceremony began. The pair then shared a hug and laughter with Brody’s companion, Georgina Chapman.
Brody initially surprised Berry with a kiss while accepting the Oscar for best actor as a Holocaust survivor in “The Piano.” Berry, who had won best actress in 2002, appeared taken aback as he held and dipped her for the kiss.
However, Berry doesn’t seem to hold the incident against him.
“I had to get some payback,” she captioned a video of their latest lip-lock, adding a winking emoji.
Brody won his second best actor Oscar on Sunday, this time for his portrayal of the fictional Hungarian architect László Tóth in “The Brutalist.” Berry, meanwhile, remains the only Black woman to have won an Oscar for best actress.
“I hope this year, someone stands next to me,” she recently said on Trevor Noah’s podcast “What Now?” “This year, I hope it happens. Because I’m tired of occupying that space alone.”
