Oscar Smooch! Adrien Brody's Girlfriend Reacts to His Steamy Kiss with Halle Berry

The recent 97th Academy Awards red carpet witnessed a nostalgic moment, a reprise of a now-iconic event from the 2003 ceremony—a kiss between ‘The Brutalist’ actor Adrien Brody and Halle Berry.

However, this time, the dynamic was altered, with Berry initiating the kiss, apparently as a form of perky fun.

Hit Back to the Past

To fully understand the context, one must recall the 2003 Oscars. That year, Adrien Brody won the Best Actor award in “The Pianist" and unexpectedly kissed Halle Berry, who was presenting the award. Back in the day, it created a considerable buzz.

Fast forward to the present and the Oscars 2025 red carpet. Everyone watched the revisited interaction as Halle Berry, in what she described as “payback,” approached Brody and kissed him.

Above all this, Georgina Chapman’s reaction was out of the books as she cheered for the kiss and displayed a calm demeanor. This is unexpected for the 2003 reactions.

The Wrangle

The past event has sparked quite a few conversations about consent and conduct within the boundaries of award ceremonies. While some perceived it as a romantic gesture, others viewed it as a violation of professional etiquette. ‘The Pianist’ actor Adrien, expressing his joy over the kiss in 2003, seemed to disregard the occasion.

Berry has stated that this was a payful act, a way to even the score from the 2003 event. The fact that Georgina Chapman was around and appeared nonchalant adds another layer to the event. It exhibits that all parties involved were in the funny business.

What does Chapman have to say

Champman’s comments to media outlets revealed that she was not affected by the kiss. “I mean, how can I deny a man a kiss with Halle Berry?” This statement flaunted her ability to see the humor in the situation.

Reports say she was laughing and even clapping during the Adrien-Berry kiss. Berry asked permission from Georgina before the kiss, which Georgina gave. Georgina’s reaction turned the awkwardness into a light and entertaining one, displaying her modest and composed attitude.
