Halle Berry, 57, poses sans shirt to celebrate 20th anniversary of ‘Catwoman’: ‘Forever grateful’
She's purrfect. A topless Halle Berry posed with two black cats to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the release of her film "Catwoman."
And STILL… meow! It's been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life she captioned an Instagram post Tuesday.
She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!
Berry, 57, also thanked a fan named Jee for helping her rescue the two black cats in the photo.
When these black beauties showed up in my yard searching for their mother, Jee helped us through the rescue process. Forever grateful! ♥️, she wrote.
In the snaps, the "Gothika" star ditched her top, rocking only black underwear and a black cat eye mask.
Berry strategically used the two cats to cover her bare chest as she posed standing up and lying in bed.
Fans gushed over how great the Oscar winner looked in the photos two decades after starring in the Pitof-directed film.
"20 years where Ms. Berry!? You look phenomenal! 😍❤️😍❤️," wrote one user.
"The waaaay you keep your foot on our necks!!!!!🔥🔥," added another.
"20 years where cause maam you’ve been fine like wine since the day before forever 😍," commented a third fan.
"20 years later and still look good 😍🔥," raved a fourth person.
Berry starred as artist Patience Philips in “Catwoman,” released in US theaters on July 23, 2004. The action/thriller made $82.4 million at the worldwide box office on a $100 million budget, per Box Office Mojo, and only scored an 8 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Last week, the mom of two said she hated being the target of the movie's criticism when it flopped at the box office.
I didn't love [the backlash]. Being a black woman, I'm used to carrying negativity on my back, fighting, being a fish swimming upstream by myself, she told Entertainment Weekly.
I'm used to defying stereotypes and making a way out of no way. … It didn't derail me because I've fought as a Black woman my whole life. A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn't love it, but it wasn't going to stop my world or derail me from doing what I love to do.
