Back in 2003, when Berry presented the Best Actor award, Brody took the stage to accept his Oscar for The Pianist. Without warning, he swept her into a passionate kiss that lasted for several seconds, leaving Berry stunned and the audience in shock.
It quickly became one of the most unforgettable moments in Oscar history. Now, more than two decades later, Berry had her playful payback.
Despite the controversy, Brody’s longtime partner, Georgina Chapman, took the moment in stride.
When asked about the kiss, she laughed and said, “How can you deny a man a kiss with Halle Berry?” When reminded that Berry had said she was fine with it, Chapman added with a smile, “He was more than fine.”
Chapman and Brody have been together since 2021, although they first met at a party in 2019.
According to a source close to the couple, Brody is an incredibly supportive partner, always empathetic and caring. He has a strong bond with Chapman’s children and is known for being a positive influence in their lives.
So, while the viral kiss sparked its fair share of controversy online, it seems that both Berry and Chapman were unfazed by the moment. For them, it was just another chapter in an Oscars story full of unforgettable surprises.
