I don’t know about you, but I keep saying Halle Berry when referring to Halle Bailey. So was the 23-year-old named after the Oscar-winning actress?
“Well, my family has always loved Halle Berry. She is amazing,” The Little Mermaid told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos on Live with Kelly and Mark. “Originally, when I was a baby, they wanted to name me Hailey. But my last name is Bailey. So that wouldn’t have worked…So then they ultimately decided on Halle. And it is very similar to Halle Berry. But there is no one else I would rather have a similar name to her. She’s so cool.”
Does Bailey think Berry is cool in person too? The two met at the Oscars, and Bailey thinks her namesake is “like an angel!”
If I were the Oscar 2024 Oscar producer, I would have the two of them present together at the awards show. Could you imagine?
UPDATE: The Halles had a conversation about this reveal. To see what they said, then
