Kiss approved. Halle Berry got permission from Adrien Brody’s girlfriend, Georgina Chapman, before recreating their 2003 Oscars kiss at the 2025 Academy Awards. Berry even apologized to the fashion designer before locking lips with Brody, later joking that she’d waited decades for the opportunity to present itself.
Twenty-two years ago, at the 2003 Academy Awards, Adrien unsuspectingly kissed Halle. After winning Best Actor for The Pianist, he landed a massive kiss on Halle, and everybody was shocked. During his acceptance speech, Adrien joked, "I bet they didn't tell you that was in the gift bag," Halle appeared pretty shocked.
At the 97th Academy Awards, Jewish actors Adrien Brody and Mikey Madison won Oscars for Best Actor and Best Actress.
