Halle Berry - Vintage

Paid loads just to get them out – easy life
Halle Berry
My nude scenes in Swordfish and Monster's Ball were like night and day. I make no excuses for it, but Swordfish was very gratuitous and for shock value...

Word is that former FHM cover star Halle Berry was paid $500,000 for her five second boobs-out shot in hi-tech hacker flick Swordfish – which is a bargain considering the film made a profit at least 100 times that and the fact that none of us were there to see Hugh Jackman.

Berry's always known how to turn it on – she was crowned Miss USA way back in 1986 – so it was no surprise that she was picked to reprise Ursula Andress' famous stepping-out-of-the-sea-in-a-bikini routine in Bond flick Die Another Die. To be fair, Halle did win an Oscar for her gutsy role in Monster's Ball – another nudie delight – although her hilarious, weepy Academy Award acceptance speech is arguably more of a hit on YouTube.
