Multiracial Halle Berry? The Multiracial Advocacy Blog

Actress Halle Berry is multiracial, self-identifies as black, and is playing a white woman in a new film?! 


Biracial actress Halle Berry appears in a new film titled “Cloud Atlas” as a white woman. The film is a mind-bending, epic tale spanning centuries — within which individual characters are reborn, made by the creators of “The Matrix” and “Run Lola run” (the Wakowski siblings, and Tom Tykwer, respectively). Berry plays a litany of characters in the film, but the white woman she portrays is Jocasta Ayrs — a kinky, mischievous wife of a composer. At one point in the film, Berry crosses gender and race lines and plays the role of an old male-Korean doctor.
