Halle Berry has left fans reeling with her bold transformation for her upcoming film, “Never Let Go.” The Oscar-winning actress took to Instagram on Saturday to showcase her character’s striking look, featuring faux hairy armpits that drew a mix of reactions from her followers, with many commenting “Yikes” on her post.
In her caption, Berry expressed her excitement, stating, “Momma in the making. One of the most complex characters I’ve had the pleasure of embodying. #NeverLetGo is in theaters everywhere!” She shared a series of photos and videos from her on-set experience, giving insight into this intriguing role.
Among the comments, “Basketball Wives” star Tami Roman voiced a humorous relief, stating, “OMG you scared me!!! thank the Lord this is for a movie.” Another fan reflected on the lengths actors go to for their roles, quipping about the unexpected appearance: “Wow, the things actors do to fulfill the roles they’re in. Thought for a moment Halle had started to grow an armpit jungle. So funny, LOL!!!”
Other users chimed in with playful commentary, with one saying, “Praise God. Girl you had me scared for a minute…” while another mentioned the shock of seeing Berry’s transformation: “The way my heart dropped with the pit hair almost destroyed decades of a crush.”
In one clip, Berry interacted with her stylist, Norma Patton-Lowin, sharing a moment of laughter over the transformation. Berry playfully asked, “So what’s happening here, Norma? What did you do?” To which Patton-Lowin jovially replied, “The things I do to you.”
Patton-Lowin expressed her gratitude in the comments, thanking Berry for the opportunity to push boundaries in her latest role: “Thank you Halle for letting me take you to the limit for your character! I had a lot of fun working with you to create ‘Momma.’”
This character departure was a stark contrast to Berry’s glamorous look at the film’s premiere on September 17, where she dazzled in a metallic halter gown from designer Tamara Ralph, accompanied by her boyfriend, Van Hunt, at the star-studded event.
