Halle Berry Makes Surprising Admission About 1994 Role in 'The Flintstones'
Berry, 58, took to X in July 2025 to share photos of her character wearing two-piece animal print outfits, and she noted that fans send her pictures from the movie "almost weekly."
"Did you guys know I went into this somewhat shy as I hadn't really played this type of vixen/seductress role up until this point 🤷🏽♀️," the actress wrote.
Before The Flintstones, Berry appeared in films such as Jungle Fever and Boomerang. She previously told Hollywood Fix she fought to get the part in The Flintstones, which also starred Rick Moranis, Elizabeth Perkins, Kyle MacLachlan, Rosie O'Donnell, and Elizabeth Taylor.
'I talked to Brian Levant, the director, about it," Berry recalled in the vintage interview. 'The first meeting, I told him that Bedrock should be integrated, and this is the perfect character because it wasn't in the original [cartoon series]. She could be anything, and she should be Black. … So, I auditioned, and I got the role.'
Of her wardrobe, she added, 'I did the coolest jewelry by far, the coolest jewelry and the barest costumes, I mean the barest of them all, but it was fun."
Berry also reflected on The Flintstones in honor of the film's 30th anniversary in 2024. In an Instagram Reel, the actress admitted she hadn't seen the movie in 'probably 20 years.' After pointing to her character's 'young' voice and 'iconic' pixie haircut, she acknowledged the importance of her casting in the movie.
'Being a Black woman in Bedrock seemed like a little thing but, you know, The Flintstones was the fabric of our culture,' she told fans. 'I knew that this was a big step forward for Black people, Black women especially. While it was silly, and it was over the top and campy, I knew then how important this little part in this big movie actually would be,' she added.
'Love you all for loving Miss Stone all this time,' Berry captioned the post.Halle Berry Makes Surprising Admission About 1994 Role in 'The Flintstones' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jul 8, 2025

Latest ‘Tron: Ares' Trailer Features New Nine Inch Nails Song ‘Something to Believe In'
Ahead of next week's San Diego Comic Con Hall H panel, Disney has unleashed a new trailer for their forthcoming legacy sequel 'Tron: Ares,' from director Joachim Rønning, the latest installment of the franchise that began way back in 1982 with the cutting-edge 'Tron.' You can watch it below. No coins necessary. 'Tron: Ares,' which follows 2010's 'Tron: Legacy,' concerns a highly sophisticated program from the digital realm, Ares (Jared Leto), who crosses over into our world on what Disney is describing as a 'dangerous mission.' This will mark humanity's first encounter with A.I. beings. So far, the 'Tron' films have taken primarily in the computer world; it'll fun to see that world come into ours for the first time. More from TheWrap Latest 'Tron: Ares' Trailer Features New Nine Inch Nails Song 'Something to Believe In' Netflix Sets October Release for Edward Berger's 'Ballad of a Small Player' 'Fixed' Red Band Trailer Gives a Taste of Just How Naughty Netflix's Animated Dog Comedy Is Disney+ Sets First-Ever Live Stream of Premiere Event With 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Joining Leto on and off the grid are Greta Lee, Evan Peters (as Julian Dillinger, a name that might be familiar to fans of the franchise), Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan and Gillian Anderson (as another Dillinger). And, somewhat surprisingly, is the return of Jeff Bridges as Kevin Flynn. Flynn was the main character of the first movie, while the sequel featured Flynn and his digital alter-ego Clu. But both characters died at the end of 'Tron: Legacy,' which makes Bridges' return much more intriguing. (Bridges recently told Empire Magazine, 'As The Dude might say, new shit has come to light.') Of course, what makes this new 'Tron' installment even more exciting is the fact that Nine Inch Nails are doing the soundtrack. Previously, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have used their real names while composing the memorable scores to projects like David Fincher's 'The Social Network,' Pete Docter's 'Soul' and Luca Guadagnino's 'Challengers.' But this time they broke out their rock-and-roll moniker, and you can hear a taste of the first single from the 'Tron: Ares' soundtrack,' Something to Believe In,' in the trailer. Expect to hear much more about 'Tron: Ares' after next weekend's big Hall H presentation. 'Tron: Ares' hits theaters on Oct. 10.
