Halle Berry Reflects on Life Changes After ‘Catwoman’

Halle Berry recently opened up about how the release of her 2004 film ‘Catwoman’ changed her life, as reported by People. The superhero film, directed by Pitof and starring Halle Berry, Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson, Frances Conroy, Alex Borstein, and Sharon Stone, had a profound impact on Berry’s personal life.

“I became a cat lover because of it,” Berry shared. She revealed that she recently rescued four kittens she found in her yard. “I’m a Catwoman through and through because of that experience and those relationships. That experience changed me.”

In an Instagram post last month, the Oscar-winning actress introduced two of the kittens as “Boots and Coco,” explaining that she found them along with their two siblings and their mother. “I got the mommy spayed and released her back in my yard and she’s now our outdoor cat and the other 2 babies I’ve found a forever home for and these two are our new loves,” she continued. “It’s a full house over here!”

Berry, who is also the proud owner of two Labradoodles, recalled how she prepared for her role in ‘Catwoman’. During the production process, she was given a cat named Playdough to study and understand feline behavior. “I watched, studied, and learned how cats think,” she explained. Without the responsibilities of children and family at that time, Berry fully immersed herself in the role. “I’d crawl around my house, trying to jump on my counters, thinking, ‘If I were a cat, how would I get up there?’ I was in it 24/7,” she added.
