And then the first time I left the U.S. and I left my neighborhood, I went to London and it was a real culture shock I was supposed to be there for two weeks, but I only got through two days, but I didn’t have to do the things that my character does. But yeah, there are a lot of things , that I could relate to in real life. I always find some kind of personal connection to the roles I play.”
Halle Berry talked about the most challenging scene she had to film Union. The actor said: “I would probably say the scene where I had to deal with three men at once. I love those scenes, but they’re the scenes where you spend a little more time. The timing of every move is very important when you’re coming at you from different directions. You don’t want to hurt anybody that was probably something really challenging for me.”
