 Begging Berry: The 50-year-old reflected that she had to beg Spike Lee to play the 'crack ho' in Jungle Fever and then strongly convince Lee Daniels to let her play the part in Monsters BallHalle Berry Stuns On The Cover Of W Magazine
Halle Berry,50 looked gorgeous as usual on the october issue of W magazine where she talked about her career how she had to convince producers for daring roles.

‘Just because someone looks a certain way doesn’t mean that they are spared adversity. Adversity does not discriminate,’ Halle told W Magazine.

‘Spike Lee wanted me to read for the part of his wife and I read that part fine enough, but then I said to Spike, “You know I really am eyeing this crack ho role, can you please let me audition for that?” And he said, “No, no I don’t see you as the crack ho.”

‘I said, “I am the crack ho. Really deep down I’m the crack ho.” And he was like, “No, I don’t see it.”
And I said, “Let me go in the bathroom, wash all this makeup off; you will see eyeing the crack ho.” So, he let me do that and I came back out and I got to read the crack ho, and I got the part of the of the crack ho.

‘And it was an amazing way to start my career, playing a crack ho be directed by Spike Lee. It was major for me
‘Yeah, it was intentional to not play the gorgeous girl,’ she told the publication. ‘I came from the world of beauty pageants and modeling and right away when people heard that I got discounted as an actor.

‘So, I had the job of trying to eliminate that part of my persona, and Spike gave me a chance to do that.

‘And I took on roles early on that really didn’t rely on my physical self at all and that was a good way to sort of get some credibility within my industry.’He was actually disgusted by the thought,’ Halle said. ‘He thought there’s no way and my argument to him was, just because someone looks a certain way doesn’t mean that they are spared adversity.

‘I thought, “My looks haven’t spared me one hardship or one hurt moment or one painful situation. So please, you know, give me a shot at this.”

‘I said, “I often think it’s more interesting when you see someone that looks a certain way struggle in ways that you wouldn’t think they would be struggling with.”

‘He ultimately gave me a chance and that sort of changed the course of my career in so many ways.’
