Halle Berry would “take a bullet” for her kids.
The actor has Nahla with her ex-partner Gabriel Aubry and Maceo-Robert with former partner Olivier Martinez. She explained why she could relate to her new role as a mother in Never Let Go.
“You know, we say as mama bears … we say, ‘I will take a bullet for my kids. I will do anything for my kids,” Berry told “Entertainment Tonight.”
“This [role] gave me an opportunity to really play that scenario out … to really take a bullet for my kids. Like, really put my life out there for them in a real way. And so, yes, I think of my real kids every step of the way. It’s who I am. It’s what makes me,” she added
In the film, the Oscar-winning star — who was initially married to David Justice, then to Eric Benet and divorced Olivier in 2013 after three years of marriage — has to skin a squirrel as part of the story and she admitted that both of her kids would have an adverse reaction to the scene.
“My daughter would be slightly grossed out and wondering why I would do that to a squirrel. My son probably won’t see it. He’s a little scared, like, I don’t know, he might have nightmares. I don’t know if he should see it just yet,” Berry said.
