Halle Berry Reveals the Toll of Being an Action Star

Hollywood actress Halle Berry is known for her impressive roles in action-packed films like the “X-Men” franchise, “Die Another Day,” and “John Wick: Chapter 3.” However, the toll of performing her own stunts and fight scenes has taken a dangerous toll on her body.

During a recent interview while promoting her upcoming action movie, “The Union,” Berry disclosed the shocking extent of her injuries from filming action sequences. The Oscar winner revealed that she has suffered a total of 10 broken bones and has been knocked out three times while working on these high-intensity projects.

Berry detailed her injuries, including broken arms, ribs, tailbone, toes, and even a finger. Despite the physical toll, she has also acquired new skills along the way, such as studying martial arts and combat styles for her various roles.

The actress, who has been in the industry since the late ’80s, expressed her frustration at not receiving the recognition she deserves for her talent. As a Black actress, she acknowledges the disparities in opportunities compared to her peers. Even when faced with a major injury while filming “Bruised,” Berry powered through to complete the project.

Premiering on Netflix on August 16, “The Union” stars Berry as a spy named Roxanne, who enlists her high school boyfriend, played by Mark Wahlberg, to assist with a new mission. Despite the risks and challenges, Berry continues to push boundaries and showcase her incredible talent as an action star.
