Halle Berry Made the Most Hollywood “Mom Mistake”

Everybody has those days.

Stars really are just like us, which means they make mistakes every once in a while—and Halle Berry is coming clean about her most recent mishap. It was one of the oldest Hollywood "mom mistakes" in the book: bringing her daughter, Nahla, to a screening of her new horror movie Never Let Go. The showing didn't have the 16-year-old smiling with pride, but rather had her leaving in tears.

"My daughter went to the screening and I stupidly thought she could handle it," Berry told E! News. "It was one of my dumb mom moments. She left crying!"

She continued: "She was like, 'Mom, what made you think I wanted to see you like that?' She's 16 now. I thought she was old enough, but it was a dumb mom moment!"

In the spine-chilling film, Berry plays a mother to twin boys who have been haunted by an evil spirit for years; their safety becomes at risk after one of her sons questions if the evil is real, moving Berry's character to do everything in her power to protect her family.

While Never Let Go wasn't a hit with Nahla, who Berry shares with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, Berry's children enjoy some of her other flicks. "They like Catwoman. My son likes Race the Sun," she said of her 10-year-old son Maceo, whom she shares with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.

"They haven't seen very many of my films," she admitted.

Berry embodies a fierce mother both on and off screen. Earlier this week, she even posted the definition of the word "momma" on Instagram: "A protector who loves unconditionally, the maker and keeper of precious memories, a soul who gives everything for her children." She captioned the photo, "How far would you go to protect your children?"

The actress recently opened up to Marie Claire about not only being a strong mother, but a powerful woman.

“I’m now usually one of the oldest people in every room I walk in and that’s a good feeling,” she said. “I don’t have to be the dancing bear. I don’t have to worry about appeasing everybody in the room, or care about everybody else’s egos, or their insecurities, or give them what they’re wanting from me if it’s not what I’m wanting to give them. My daughter says, ‘Don’t ask mom, because she’s got no fucks to give. Don’t ask her unless you want the answer for real.’"
