On Tuesday, the Oscar-winning actress took to social media to celebrate the DC Comics film anniversary with a series of photos of herself topless with her newly adopted kittens.
In the photos, Berry can be seen rocking a Catwoman mask, a bikini bottom, and her adorable kittens.
In the caption for the post, the actress wrote:
And STILL… meow!
It’s been 20 years today since I had the honor of bringing this iconic character to life. She will always be close to my heart and I will forever be Patience Phillips aka CATWOMAN!
Thank you @missjee79! When these black beauties showed up in my yard searching for their mother, Jee helped us through the rescue process. Forever grateful!
In a separate post on X, formerly Twitter, Berry thanked fans for embracing the film 20 years after its July 23, 2004 release, in which critics universally panned it, and it currently sits at 8% on Rotten Tomatoes.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Berry touched on the negative response to the film, “I didn’t love [the backlash]. Being a Black woman, I’m used to carrying negativity on my back, fighting, being a fish swimming upstream by myself. I’m used to defying stereotypes and making a way out of no way.”
Berry handled the film’s criticism like a champ. She even attended the Razzie Awards to accept the “Worst Actress” award for her performance in the movie. She also made sure to bring her Oscar with her.
Berry also spoke about her experience at the Razzies, “I didn’t want to be casual about it, but I went and collected that Razzie, laughed at myself, and kept it moving. It didn’t derail me because I’ve fought as a Black woman my whole life,” Berry said. “A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn’t love it, but it wasn’t going to stop my world or derail me from doing what I love to do.”
Fans have also warmed up to Catwoman lately, defending the film while praising Berry for taking on the role.
