deadline.comHalle Berry has expressed her admiration for her co-star Chris Hemsworth, saying she’ll be “a fan for the rest of her life” after the Australian actor stood up for her on set.
Berry was with Hemsworth at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to promote their new thriller Crime 101, when she spoke to E! News on the red carpet, and spoke elliptically about a moment Hemsworth had proved himself during filming.
Berry said: “[He’s] a stand-up guy. I won’t go into it now, but he stood up for me in a moment in our movie, and instantly I knew right then I’m gonna follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of his life because he stood up for a woman. “He didn’t have to do it and he did it.” Hemsworth previously shared that he had felt intimidated to work with Berry, saying: “I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years.
