Halle Berry Celebrates Anniversary Of Catwoman In Unique Way

Halle Berry has marked two decades since her iconic role in the 2004 movie Catwoman. She celebrated in a way that left everyone talking. The Academy Award-winning actress posted a series of topless images on social media, showing her two black cats, strategically positioned to cover her chest. The images are in honor of the character she played 20 years ago – Patience Phillips also known as Catwoman.

The Celebratory Photoshoot

Berry’s Instagram post, dated July 23, 2024, showed her in a superhero mask, holding her two black cats, strategically positioned to cover her chest. The caption read, “And STILL… meow! It’s been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life. She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!”

This rather unconventional celebration has been appreciated a lot by her followers and celebrity friends. Julianne Moore commented, “Hello Kitty,” along with a red heart emoji. The post which has accumulated a lot of praise has also sparked conversations and fond memories among fans that have also led to the fans expressing their desire for a sequel to the film.

Rescue of the Kittens

In the caption, Berry gave a special shout-out to her friend Jee, who helped her rescue the kittens that featured in some of the images. Dubbing them her “black beauties,” the actress explained that they’d shown up in her yard looking for their mother. Berry’s connection to these animals has deepened her association with the Catwoman character.

The actress first revealed to her fans on Instagram the new additions to her family in June of 2024. She explained that she had found a mother cat along with her four kittens in the backyard of her house and she decided to keep two of the kittens, named Boots and Coco, while finding homes for the other two. The mother cat was spayed and now lives in the yard of Berry’s house.
