Were Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry really having sex in Monster’s Ball?
In the first DVD release, there was no reason to think that.
As time went on, we saw a region 2 DVD and some lost footage that led many people to conclude that the fuckin’ was real.
No, they weren’t. You can see a ball bag a little bit but he’s got his cock taped up, and she has a pussy pad on.
It’s not rocket science. No one fucks on a real Hollywood film set for a 12 hour shooting day. But I guess it makes for an easy headline.
I always find it to be such a crazy thing that if you throw enough money and fame at someone, they will essentially do anything you ask. In the actor’s heads they probably rationalize it as art or “whatever the role requires”, but essentially it’s borderline prostitution. Having said that, they are adults and can do whatever they want, but sometimes Hollywood actors and actresses can be really preachy about pushing their agendas, and my first thought is always, wait, if I pay you x amount of dollars I can get you to hump someone you’ve never met and distribute the film for the world to see, and you want to tell me what the right choice is in regard to my voting for president?
I’m reminded of a possibly apocryphal story about Winston Churchill. Churchill asks a socialite, “Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?” The Socialite replied, “My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course… ” Then Churchill asked her, “Would you sleep with me for five pounds?” The woman then replied indignantly, “Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!” Churchill then replied, “Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.”
And if you pay them enough they will spout whatever bullshit you want. That’s exactly what is going on.
Suppose there is a connection in that Donald Trump wants to do to the country what Billy Bob Thornton was doing to Halle Berry.
Hmm… not sure if those are monster balls in that last screencap.
If so, my man was boffing Halle & prime Jolie simultaneously
I saw that alternate footage in the Pay-Per-View version way back when.
I don’t think they where since there is no clear evidence. So unless there is other footage that shows it or Halle says they were, I’m going assume not. That said it wouldn’t surprise me because Halle really is hardcore about her roles. She takes them very seriously. If she is playing a role she trains crazy hard to be that person and learn their skills so the role was believable and realistic. So it’s not a huge stretch to think she had real sex to make the role believable. Still I doubt they did because someone would have a clip and would have sold it by now.
