Halle Berry will swap her Oscar for an Olympic torch as she graces the Croisette in Cannes, France. The Monster’s Ball star will take part in a special ceremony ahead of the Paris Games’ kickoff next week.b The renowned French Riviera boulevard, home to high-end designer shops, will temporarily shut down for Berry’s torch relay, according to Page Six.
Berry’s torch-bearing journey, which will take place between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. local time, will be a sight to behold. The Croisette, usually bustling with festival-goers attending the Cannes Lions, will transform into a stage for this spectacular event.
The Cannes Lions Festival, a major event in the advertising world, will have its schedule momentarily paused for Berry’s historic run. As Berry makes her way down the iconic boulevard, spectators may be captivated. Some took to social media to express excitement, while others lamented the event’s timing, according to Hola.
“How am I supposed to get to my events if the Croisette is shut down?” one festival attendee complained. “This is such unfortunate timing.” Berry, 57, has been a prominent figure not only in Hollywood but also in advocacy. Recently, she has been vocal about funding for research and education around menopause.
In May, she spoke passionately on Capitol Hill. “The shame has to be taken out of menopause, according to Parade.
We have to talk about this very normal part of our life that happens,” Berry said. Our doctors can’t even say the word to us, let alone walk us through the journey. The torch relay in Cannes will be a testament to Halle Berry’s versatility and dedication.
As she carries the flame, the Croisette’s usual hustle and bustle will halt. Berry’s presence at the Cannes Lions will add a unique flair to the festival. The combination of Hollywood glamour and Olympic spirit is a perfect match for the prestigious event. Many have expressed admiration for the actress’s involvement in such a significant event.
The torch relay not only highlights the upcoming Paris Games but also brings a touch of cinematic magic to the Croisette. Halle Berry’s torch relay in Cannes is more than just a prelude to the Paris Games. It was a celebration of resilience, advocacy, and the power of sport. As the torch continues its journey to Paris, the memories of Berry’s run down the Croisette will linger, a reminder of the extraordinary moments that connect us all.
