Berry accuses Moyles of racist moment

Hollywood star Halle Berry asked British DJ Chris Moyles whether he was having a “racist moment” on his radio show today.

The Oscar-winning actress made the comment while on BBC Radio 1’s breakfast show to promote the latest X-Men blockbuster.

The pair were discussing acting along with her co-star Hugh Jackman when Moyles adopted an American accent and challenged his guests to “put your hands up in the air” because he had a gun.

Jackman suggested he was being a “Brooklyn Bond”, at which point Moyles replied: “I’m a black, American guy.”

Berry, 39, then interjected: “Are we having a racist moment here?”

Moyles insisted the comment had not been intended as racist, and the interview continued.

A BBC spokesman said: “There was nothing racist. She carried on chatting for another five to 10 minutes after the comment.”
