*During press interviews in Los Angeles Wednesday for her upcoming film “Perfect Stranger,” Halle Berry was riddled with questions about her interview in last Sunday’s Parade magazine, which included quotes about her suicide attempt following her 1996 divorce from David Justice.
The Oscar-winning actress and recent recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame confirmed to reporters that the quotes were taken from an interview she did years ago.
“I talked about it on Larry King in 2002. I was on ‘Oprah’ talking about it when it was relevant,” she told EUR’s Lee Bailey. “And I felt like it was important to help other women and share it. The truth is I’m in such a great time in my life right now that it wouldn’t be my wish to revisit that. But another outlet did that and made it seem as though it was current again. And it’s just really not.”
Such personal matters are often raised by reporters during the hundreds of Q&A sessions that come with promoting a major studio film, Berry said.
“There have been certain times where I’ve been willing to disclose certain aspects of my personal life, especially those that I think might help someone else” she said. “I find those to be meaningful things to disclose, because I’ve gotten a lot from hearing the stories of other people.”
“I think what’s been happening this press tour, which has been a bit frustrating, is that some old, old stories have been regurgitated from like ten years ago. And I think that’s been because I have a movie out. Some of the magazines have sensationalized some old material and it’s being presented as if it’s new again, and as if it’s something that I want to talk about,” she emphasized. “And I really don’t. It’s 10 years old. I’m so past it and I’m so beyond it.”

Meanwhile, Berry, 40, was also asked to talk about her upcoming role in the romantic comedy “Nappily Ever After,” where she’ll play a woman who finds her independence by pulling a Britney and cutting off all of her long, chemically-processed hair.
"In the course of the story something bad happens to my character's hair and she shaves it all off,” says Berry, adding that she will shed her tresses in real life for the role. "I'm scared to death but that's what I must do. I suppose going bald could be a little exciting too, though, so we'll probably film the process beginning to end."
