by

Halle Berry is discussing a difficult moment she had with director Bryan Singer while filming . Several of her fellow actors have shared stories about Singer’s inappropriate behavior during the making of X-Men 2, and how the cast, still in their superhero costumes, confronted him about it. Berry took the lead in addressing the issue.

Halle Berry is currently promoting her new film, where she portrays a character dealing with discrimination at work. When Entertainment Weekly asked if she’d ever faced a difficult boss herself, she immediately thought of a past experience with director Bryan Singer.

She recalled a memorable moment when she confidently told director Bryan Singer what she thought on the set of X-Men.

Halle Berry frequently took the lead on the set of the Marvel superhero films, and her fellow actors trusted her to address problems. She recalls a time when everyone was upset with someone who was mistreating the cast and crew, and they asked her to speak up. Berry happily confronted the person and set things right, describing it as a satisfying moment. She then famously flew home still wearing her X-Men costume.

Berry doesn’t seem to regret a moment of it. “I’m sorry, that guy deserved it,” she concludes.

Halle Berry Led the X-Men Against Bryan Singer

Initial reports regarding the incident on the set of X2: X-Men United described director Bryan Singer as behaving unpredictably and disruptively, which delayed filming. Cast and crew often had to wait while he stayed in his trailer. Sources who wished to remain anonymous suggested Singer had displayed similar behavior during the first X-Men movie, and that accommodating this in the past may have led to even more volatile behavior on the sequel.

Reports suggest that director Bryan Singer’s alleged drug use caused an injury to Hugh Jackman during a stunt. This incident reportedly led to a confrontation where Halle Berry allegedly told Singer, “You can kiss my Black ass,” though she hasn’t confirmed this detail. Singer has denied these claims, stating that the incident never occurred.

Halle Berry appeared in four X-Men films directed by Bryan Singer, with the most recent being X-Men: Days of Future Past, which came out in 2014. This includes events surrounding the making of those films and everything that has happened since.
