It is known that in the world of acting there are certain types of scenes that most actors cannot avoid, and they are also very popular. It’s about the scenes “naked”, most of which have been deemed unnecessary and exist only to attract a larger audience. However, there is one scene that once helped an actress win an Oscaras written by “Marca”.

The actress in question is Halle Berrywhich won Hollywood’s top award in 2002 for the movie “Monster’s Ball”. In it, she starred in a much-discussed love scene, which she admitted at the time was helped by a previous shoot and that, without that role, she would never have been able to make the Oscar-winning film.

The nude that helped her win the Oscar

It was her “naked” performance in the film “Operation Swordfish”which was released in 2001 and is estimated to have earned her half a million dollars, in addition to the two million dollar salary she received for that shoot.

The rumor, after all, was started by the director himself, Dominic Serna, and was disputed by the actress herself a little later: “If I was paid for these, it would be much more than $500,000. It was so unnecessarily bare and some people have a problem with that,” he told CNN.

“While I was making “Swordfish,” I knew it was unnecessary. I never made any excuses for it. For many years I said no to nudity and that was because I didn’t feel comfortable with myself. I was scared and wondered what people would think“, she explained herself.

He added: “If I wasn’t uncomplicated in the movie “Swordfish,” I would be afraid to face a love scene like that in “Monster’s Ball.”
