Halle Berry gets "payback" for Adrien Brody kiss at Oscars
Halle Berry playfully "pays back" Adrien Brody with a surprise kiss at the 2025 Oscars, 22 years after their infamous onstage moment.
Halle Berry and Adrien Brody recreated one of the most infamous moments in Academy Awards history on the 2025 Oscars red carpetâ22 years after their headline-making onstage kiss at the 2003 ceremony.
Berry, who was presenting at this year's ceremony, spotted Brody on the red carpet while he was speaking with Access Hollywood host Mario Lopez.
Before making her move, Berry jokingly addressed Brody's longtime girlfriend, designer Georgina Chapman. "I'm sorry, Georgina, but I have to do it," she said before grabbing Brody's neck and kissing him passionately.
After the kiss, the two laughed and embraced. Speaking to Extra afterward, Berry explained that she had been waiting a long time for this moment. "Twenty-one years I've been waiting to get him on a red carpet and slap one on," she joked.

Berry later confirmed that Sunday's red carpet was the first time she and Brody had crossed paths at an awards show since the 2003 incident. "That was one hell of a night for him, and for me as well. To be a part of his moment... tonight I had to pay him back. I've seen him out at parties, but this is the first time since that night that I've seen him on the red carpet somewhere. He's nominated this year. He deserved that," Berry told Variety.
A Kiss That Sparked ControversyAt the 2003 Oscars, Brody, who had just won Best Actor for The Pianist, stunned Berryâand the audienceâwhen he pulled her in for an unplanned kiss after she handed him the award. While the audience erupted in cheers, the moment was unexpected and Berry later said the kiss was not planned.

Kevork Djansezian/AP PhotoBerry, who had won Best Actress the previous year for Monster's Ball, admitted in a 2017 interview that she had been completely caught off guard. "No, that was not planned. I knew nothing about it," she said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. "For real, I was like, 'What the f*** is happening right now?'"
Brody, reflecting on the 2003 moment in a recent interview with Variety, said, "We live in a very conscious time, which is a wonderful thing. And nothing that I ever do or have done or would've done is ever done with the intention of making anyone feel bad."
Chapman, Brody's girlfriend, appeared to take the moment in stride. When asked about the red carpet kiss, she responded with a laugh, "How can you deny a man a kiss with Halle Berry?"
A Star-Studded Oscars NightBerry's playful reenactment of the moment set the tone for an Oscars night filled with high-profile reunions and red carpet surprises. The actress, 58, dazzled in a disco-ball-inspired Christian Siriano gown adorned with hundreds of mirrors and crystals. "Can't sit down in this baby," she joked on the red carpet.
While the red carpet moment between Berry and Brody made headlines, Brody had an even bigger night at the Oscars. The Brutalist star won Best Actor for his performance as Hungarian-Jewish architect LĂĄszlĂł TĂłth, a Holocaust survivor navigating life in postwar America.
The film, which had been a major player this awards season, was nominated for 10 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor for Guy Pearce.
The coveted Best Picture award went to Anora, which also took home the Best Original Screenplay and Best Directing awards for Sean Baker, as well as Best Actress for Mikey Madison.
âThe two were locked in a serious but friendly conversation throughout their almost two-hour dinner,â a spy tells Page Six. âThey kept mostly to themselves.â
