Halle Berry, Adrien Brody recreate infamous Oscars kiss 22 years later
Berry surprised Brody with a kiss on the Oscars red carpet on March 2, 2025.
Oscar winner Halle Berry brought back an infamous Oscars memory at this year's awards when she ran into Adrien Brody on the red carpet.
The actress was spotted kissing "The Brutalist" star at the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.
The moment was a playful callback to a 2003 Oscars memory when Brody surprised Berry with a kiss while accepting his best actor award for "The Pianist."
Brody's girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, who walked the red carpet with him, watched the moment unfold with laughter and applause.
Just a few hours after the surprise kiss, Brody would go on to win his second Oscar, taking home the 2025 Oscar for best actor in a leading role for his starring role in "The Brutalist."
Last month, Brody reflected on the unexpected kiss in an interview with Variety, acknowledging how times have changed.
"We live in a very conscious time, which is a wonderful thing," he said, adding, "Nothing that I ever do or have done or would've done is ever done with the intention of making anyone feel bad."
Berry, who has spoken about the moment before, previously admitted she was caught off guard.
In a 2017 interview on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen," she recalled thinking, "What the f--- is happening right now?" but went along with it, understanding the rush of emotions that come with winning an Oscar.
Despite the controversy, Berry has shown nothing but support for Brody over the years, even congratulating him on his Golden Globe win in January for "The Brutalist."
"Congratulations my friend. You are truly one of one!" she commented on one of Brody's Instagram posts in January.
