not to make her directorial debut with the upcoming feature “Bruised” because she was worried that the Oscar winner was taking on too much at once. “I told her to think long and hard about it before she made that decision,” Waithe said while presenting Berry with her Elle honor. “When she came back to me a few weeks later, she told me she understood why I was scared — because I love her and I wanted to protect her. And she was right.
Not only did Berry direct the film but she also stars in the movie as an MMA fighter. “It has been my honor and my privilege to direct my first film,” Berry said. “What I learned along the way is that it’s f–king hard. …It’s hard for all of us, and it’s hard for all of us as woman to find our voice and step into our power and to assume that. I had to learn how to do that in the last two and a half years.
Elle Women in Hollywood returned this year after skipping 2020 due to the pandemic. The event took place at the Academy Museum and also honored “Eternals” stars
