While reacting to the pictures, fans even requested the two stars to do a movie together. Users were happy to see the two Halles together and expressed that the crossover was long overdue.

Some also pointed out to Halle Bailey that she met the woman who's the inspiration behind her name, Halle Berry.


Given the similarity in their names, fans and media have often accidentally mixed up the two stars. Therefore, when news broke out that Halle Bailey would be playing the role of Ariel in The Little Mermaid, the internet in 2019 was confused and thought that Berry would be playing the role.

The 53-year-old Oscar Winner took to congratulate Bailey for her upcoming movie saying,

"In case you needed a reminder... Halles get it DONE. Congratulations @chloexhalle on this amazing opportunity, we can't wait to see what y ou do!"

During a May 2023 show of Live with Kelly and Mark, Bailey shared her parents were originally about to name her Hailey but decided on Halle since they "always loved" the Catwoman actress,

"She was so kind to me, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I love you so much, Catwoman."

She also shared there's no one else she would rather have a similar name to because Halle Berry is "so cool."
