Halle Berry Goes Topless For 'Catwoman' Anniversary

Halle Berry recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of her role as Catwoman with a daring Instagram post that left fans in awe!

In the series of snaps, the 57-year-old Oscar winner posed in just panties and a mask, strategically covering her bare chest with two adorable black kittens.

"And STILL... meow!" Berry captioned the post. "It's been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life. She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!"

The actress also took a moment to thank her friend, adding, "Thank you @missjee79! When these black beauties showed up in my yard searching for their mother, Jee helped us through the rescue process. Forever grateful!"

Fans and fellow celebrities were quick to shower Berry with praise following her daring anniversary post. The comments section was filled with admiration and love for the iconic actress.

One follower passionately defended the film, stating, "And regardless of what people say - 'Catwoman' was a very entertaining film. And you nailed it, Halle!" This sentiment was echoed by many who felt the movie deserved more appreciation.

Another enthusiastic fan exclaimed, "The waaaay you keep your foot on our necks!!!!!," highlighting Berry's continuous ability to captivate and impress her audience.

Actress and singer Chloe Bailey also chimed in with a straightforward yet powerful compliment, "Soooo hot," capturing the general consensus of the sultry photos.

A different fan added a touch of warmth, commenting, "Such a beautiful woman and kitties too!!" This mix of admiration for both Berry's stunning looks and her adorable feline companions underscored the charm of the post, which resonated deeply with her followers.

When "Catwoman" was released in 2004, it faced harsh criticism from reviewers. Despite Berry's Oscar win two years prior and her record-breaking $14 million salary for the role, the film was panned, with some critics describing her performance as "about as sexy as a regurgitated hairball."

Berry recently reflected on the 20th anniversary of the film in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, expressing her long-standing frustration at being singled out for the movie's criticism. The notorious comic book film underperformed at the box office, and the actress received a Razzie for her role. She made headlines by attending the ceremony with her Oscar in hand to accept the award for worst performance.

“I felt like it was Halle Berry's failure, but I didn't make it alone,” Berry recalled. "All these years, I've absolutely carried it."

Berry's celebratory post not only highlights her enduring connection to the character but also showcases her playful and confident spirit, which continues to captivate her audience two decades later.
