Halle Berry and Adrien Brody Recreate Infamous Oscars Kiss on 2025 Red Carpet

The moment revisits their controversial 2003 Oscars interaction, with Berry playfully turning the tables on Brody.

Halle Berry surprised Adrien Brody on the 2025 Oscars red carpet by recreating their 2003 onstage kiss, sharing the moment on her Instagram with a playful caption about 'payback.'
The original kiss occurred when Brody won Best Actor for 'The Pianist' and kissed Berry, who later described the moment as unplanned and shocking.
The 2025 red carpet interaction was lighthearted, with both actors laughing and embracing, seemingly laying to rest any lingering tension from the past incident.
Brody, nominated this year for his role in 'The Brutalist,' has acknowledged criticism of the 2003 moment in recent interviews, emphasizing his intention was never to cause harm.
Berry, presenting at this year's ceremony, has continued to support Brody publicly, congratulating him on recent accolades, including a Golden Globe win earlier this year.
