Halle Berry understood that she was not the ideal actress to interpret a transgender man. The star had recently announced with enthusiasm that she planned to interpret a character she presented as "a woman who is a trans character, so it is a woman who transitions and becomes a man". "It is part of a project that I love and that I could do," she explained in an intervention on Instagram Live.

After having misrepresented the character by describing him as a "woman" several times in his live, the interpreter of Catwoman was very criticized on social networks. So much so that she preferred to abandon the role.

- Halle Berry (@halleberry) July 7, 2020“I had the opportunity to discuss the role of a transgender man and I would like to apologize for my comments. As a cis woman, I understand that I should never have considered this role, and the transgender community should have the opportunity to tell their own stories. I am grateful for all the critical discussions and recommendations I have received in recent days and will continue to learn from this error. I promise to be an ally and to use my voice to promote better representation on the screen, in front of and behind the camera, ”she posted.
