Halle Berry didn't shower for eight weeks

Halle Berry didn't shower for eight weeks while making Jungle Fever

The 47-year-old actress made her acting debut alongside Samuel L. Jackson in the 1991 film in which she played a crack-cocaine addict and she's confessed that as she wasn't willing to experiment with the drug in preparation, she instead embraced her character by remaining unwashed throughout production. 

Quizzed about the role, she said: "I didn't smoke crack. I drew the line there but it was 23 years ago so I was brand spanking new and at that time all I could really do was kind of try to be it, to be it so I didn't shower for the whole entire time that we shot that movie, so that was probably about eight weeks.

"It was gnarly, it was gnarly. Certain body parts got washed, let's just say that."



Ten years later Berry won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Monster Ball and she's revealed she keeps the prize in her bedroom where no one else can see it.

Speaking about where she keeps the Oscar in the home she shares with husband and fellow actor Olivier Martinez, she told Live! with Kelly and Michael: "I keep him in my bedroom so nobody ever sees him. He's very protected in my room all tucked away and tidy ... In my house we don't have a lot of that kind of stuff out anywhere.

"You would walk in our home and not know that actors live there and so it's some place that's private. It's just for me. It reminds me sometimes of the accomplishment so it's really more for me personally."

I'm still an upcoming artiste..Never feel like you have arrived"-Ice Prince

Ice Prince may have a BET Award to his name,several international collaborations under his belt ,when asked if his achievements make him the hottest rapper, he told Leadership NG...
(Smiles) I don’t see myself like that. I still see myself as an upcoming musician. I still see myself as having not arrived yet. It’s not even about humility. That is how a man should see himself. I don’t think as a human being you should ever get to a place that you believe you have arrived. That’s why I still see myself as upcoming. I don’t think Dangote thinks he is the richest African, that’s why he’s still making money. You shouldn’t believe that you have gotten there yet because that is way down- you get me? So there is still much more from Ice Prince. It’s like I haven’t even started.
