Halle Berry Recreates Iconic Oscars Kiss with Adrien Brody 22 Years Later

At the 2025 Oscars, Halle Berry surprised Adrien Brody with a kiss on the red carpet, recreating their infamous moment from the 2003 ceremony when Brody kissed her after winning Best Actor for 'The Pianist.' This playful 'payback' was unexpected for both attendees and Berry herself, who later admitted it was spontaneous. Brody, while reflecting on the earlier kiss, emphasized that he never intended to make anyone uncomfortable. The moment was warmly received, with Brody's partner, Georgina Chapman, appearing to enjoy the lighthearted exchange. Berry humorously noted that she had been waiting 21 years for the opportunity to return the favor. Brody is nominated for Best Actor again this year for his role in 'The Brutalist,' and many anticipate he could win once more.
