Halle Berry has openly professed her deep admiration for her co-star Chris Hemsworth, vowing to be "an eternal fan" following a heartwarming gesture of support he extended to her on the set. At CinemaCon in Las Vegas, where they were promoting their new thriller, Crime 101, Berry, standing alongside Hemsworth on the red carpet, engaged in an enlightening conversation with E! News, hinting cryptically at a particular incident during filming that had solidified her admiration for him.
Berry exclaimed, "[He's] a genuine hero. Though I won't elaborate now, there was a pivotal moment in our film where he stood up for me, and in that instant, I knew I would forever admire and support him. His advocacy for women in that situation was commendable. It wasn't necessary, yet he did it anyway."
Hemsworth had earlier confessed to feeling somewhat daunted by the prospect of working alongside Berry, stating, "For many years, I've admired Halle's work immensely. Being in a scene opposite her was intimidating; I was determined not to be overwhelmed by her remarkable talent."
In Crime 101, Hemsworth portrays a cunning jewel thief, with Berry essaying the role of an astute insurance broker. Hemsworth joined the project after Pedro Pascal had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts. Other notable cast members include Mark Ruffalo, Barry Keoghan, and Monica Barbaro. Directed by Bart Layton, the film is an adaptation of a novella by Don Winslow, inspired by the "Crime 101" rules—a stringent set of guidelines outlining the perfect heist.
This retelling captures the essence of the scenario, infusing it with a richer narrative texture and vivid descriptions to paint a more engaging picture.
