This American star was injured on the set of the third opus of the “John Wick” saga because she wanted to match the level of involvement of Keanu Reeves.
Halle Berry paid for herself on the set of John Wick 3! She notably participates in one of the most spectacular sequences of the film, the escape from Casablanca, in which John and his character, Sofia, must face a horde of mercenaries. But such fights sometimes have unfortunate consequences…
Asked by ExtraTVthe actress returned to the difficulties posed by filming particularly shocking and choreographed action scenes.
It was a little terrifying at first, because he is very talented. I wanted to be on level and not disappoint him. But I injured myself during rehearsals, I broke three ribs (…), but it’s like something I’m proud of. I don’t really know how it happened, honestly (…), but I continued to work with those broken ribs for a little while.
It was at this moment that director Chad Stahelski wanted to allow the actress to take a break, and Halle Berry remembers the director’s words:
Halle Berry starred in a total flop but learned 3 lessons
“‘Maybe we should stop’ (laughs). But what made me happy was knowing that, injured, I was going to be away from the set for a while and maybe replaced, but Chad decided to wait for me. He put a little pressure on the production to wait for my return. And when I came back, I even felt better.”
Halle Berry has always appreciated action cinema, which represents a significant part of her filmography. She was thus “James Bond Girl” (Die Another Day), astronaut (Moonfall), X-Men (the first trilogy and Days of Future Past), catwoman (Catwoman), member of Statesman (Kingsman: The Circle gold) or even a DEA agent (Operation Swordfish). Great track record!
