For years, rumors claimed Halle Berry and Billy Bob Thornton were really doing the deed during the explicit scene in Monster's Ball.
But the Oscar-winning actress put the speculation to rest during an interview last year on Dax Shepard’s podcast Armchair Expert.
“There’s an urban legend that we really were f***ing. I’ve heard it, and it’s just not true,” she said.
The actress said the rumors “secretly” drove her “mad” for years and clarified that it was just good acting with her co-star, who was married to Angelina Jolie at the time.
“You can’t just be a good actor, and you can’t just make that s–t look real,” she said about people’s gossip. “He had a wife, so, you know, all respect,” she added. “I know Angie and she ain’t signing off on that s–t. I’m a girls girl. I’ll do a lot of things, but I’m not gonna sleep with your man.”
