Monster Ball is regarded to be Halle Berry’s best performances ever and that fetched her an Oscar in 2002.

The role was difficult to essay but there was one scene which was harder than any scene she enacted. The one in which she had to beat up young actor Dante Beze.

She says,

“That was harder than any scene…harder than the scene where I’m butt naked. He’s a real child and he has real issues with obesity and all the emotional baggage that goes along with that. I was worried that making this movie could really damage him - perhaps for the rest of his life.”

To prevent that

“Before (and after) every scene I’d hug him and kiss him. And what I’ve done since filming is stay in his life. I really want to be involved and keep in touch with him. He told me a lot of things about who he is and about the pain he keeps inside.”

She truly deserves another Oscar for that movie. What say folks?
