Berry turns reporter to quiz Esquire writer
Halle Berry turned the tables on her interviewer for her latest Esquire magazine article, insisting she quiz him and then pen the feature.
The actress reveals in the piece, titled 'My date with a Perfect Stranger, that she has tired of talking about her "failed marriages" and "graphic love scene in Monster's Ball," among other things and she thought it would be refreshing to be the one asking the questions of journalist Tom Chiarella.
She says: "I got to write it myself. It's about the journalist who was interviewing me… It was great, it was very liberating."
The quirky article comes with a series of racy portraits of Berry in various states of undress, wearing only black lingerie, and features Chiarella's notes. He spotted 33 points of reference and errors in the actress' written piece.
At one point, the journalist is left dumbfounded by comments Berry makes in the article and he insists he was misquoted in another part of the piece.
