Halle's secret internet chats
If you've ever used internet chatrooms, you might just have been conversing with Halle Berry.
The Hollywood star says she anonymously chats to unwitting strangers online, so she can escape her famous persona.
"I have gone online before in search of anonymity and an attempt to leave celebrity out of it and just have a normal chat," the actress told the BBC.
"I was just trying to chat anonymously and just be another person in the chatroom having a conversation. I just never disclosed that I was Halle Berry."
But after a few days, Halle would reveal her true identity to her online friends - only they thought she was "just some kook". Halle continued: "When I decided to say: 'Oh by the way, the person you've been chatting with for a week is me, Halle Berry,' they thought I was just some kook.
"They were like: 'Right, sure, get out of here.' They didn't really believe me at that point. So chatting hasn't gone that well for me."
Perhaps the anonymous internet surfing was practise for Halle's new film, Perfect Stranger, in which the Oscar-winning actress plays an investigative reporter who uses chatrooms to try and nail a murdering businessman, played by Bruce Willis.
