John Wick has a very famous fan: Halle Berry.
She’s such a fan, in fact, that she ended up in the third installment of the action franchise, “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.”
“I get a phone call from my agent and my manager saying, ‘They’re doing a third installment of ‘John Wick.’ Did you ever see ‘John Wick’ 1 and 2?” Berry recalls. “I said, ‘Oh my god, I love it! What do you mean have I ever seen it? Of course, I saw it! I love it! They’re making a 3?’ And they said, ‘Yeah, and there’s possibly a role for a badass female. Would you be interested?’ And I said, ‘Call up [director] Chad [Stahelski] right now, and get a meeting for me. I have to be in this movie.’”
I sat down with Berry in New York City for this week’s episode of Variety and iHeart’s new film podcast “The Big Ticket.
