The meeting of two Halles – Halle Berry and Halle Bailey – brought joy and excitement to fans who have long reveled in the playful mix-up of their similar-sounding names. The 57-year-old iconic actress and the 23-year-old rising star from “The Little Mermaid” finally united, creating a moment that they captured and shared with the world on Instagram.
In a joint Instagram post on Monday, the dynamic duo treated their fans to a series of snapshots from their rendezvous at the LA Galaxy’s Major League Soccer match against Inter Miami. The images showcased the genuine camaraderie between the two Halles, capturing the essence of a friendship that goes beyond their shared moniker.
Halle Berry, known for her roles in films like “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” expressed her adoration in the caption, writing, “When two Halles link up 🤍 truly adore you @hallebailey.” The heartfelt message resonated with fans who couldn’t help but revel in the delightful convergence of the two talented women.
Halle Bailey, the budding star set to make waves as Ariel in the upcoming live-action adaptation of “The Little Mermaid,” reciprocated the sentiment on her Instagram Story. Sharing a photo from their night out, she captioned it, “about last night with the queen @halleberry,” emphasizing the regal connection between the two.
This meeting wasn’t just a photographic celebration; it was a moment of recognition for the Halles who have been inadvertently linked through social media mix-ups. In 2021, Halle Berry had a playful response to a fan who confused her with Halle Bailey on Twitter. The fan, anticipating Bailey’s role in “The Little Mermaid,” tweeted, “Can’t wait to see you under da sea,” with a mermaid emoji.
Amused by the mix-up, Halle Berry responded with good humor, clarifying the error, “… wrong Halle lol. I can’t wait to see her too though!” The exchange showcased the good-natured spirit of both actresses and their ability to embrace the playful confusion surrounding their names.
The confusion dates back to 2019 when Halle Bailey’s casting as Ariel was announced, leading to social media chatter and amusing misunderstandings. One Twitter user, perplexed by the news, wrote, “I read this tweet like 5 times trying to figure out how they were going to pull off Halle Berry as a 16-year-old.” The humorous incidents only added to the charm of the Halles’ unique connection.
