Halle Berry gives Jamie Foxx public praise after his recent comedy special, What Had Happened Was. 

In the comedy special, Foxx spoke about his health scare and revealed that he had a brain bleed that led to a stroke. During the aftermath of his recovery, Foxx had emotional moments with other celebrities such as T.I. and Candace Parker, however, he didn’t cry until he hugged Halle Berry. 

“I didn’t cry as much,” he jokingly said after they embraced each other. “Cause Halle just rushed me and hugged me so tight. I was like ‘Ooh, Lord have mercy, Jesus.’ This here is Halle Berry, and she don’t realize how f*****g sexy she is.” 

He continued, “And I don’t want to blow the moment ’cause it was heartfelt. She said, ‘Jamie, oh my God!’ And she hugged me. I said, ‘Ooh, oh my gosh.’ She said. ‘There’s so much I wanted to tell you!’ And I said, ‘There’s so much I gotta tell you!’ Cause she was hugging me, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God. Please don’t let me disrespect this moment.’

Foxx added, “So I had to relay… cause the hug was so nice, I had to relay my pickle. ‘Hey, stand down, n***a. This ain’t that kind of hug’… He shot back, N***a, that’s Halle Berry!” 

The actress went on social media and wrote, “When an ICON like @iamjamiefoxx makes you a part of his iconic journey! I love you Foxxy and so glad you’re still here! If you haven’t seen ‘What Had Happened Was’ on @Netlfix do it right now and get ready to laugh, cry, and count your blessings.”
