The $18 Million Shield: Hugh Jackman and Halle Berry

In 2003, during reshoots for X-Men 2, Hugh Jackman took extraordinary measures to protect Halle Berry from a producer accused of sexual harassment. Jackman secured $18 million in loans and investments to acquire a controlling 51% stake in the production company, then personally removed the producer to ensure Berry would never have to work with him again. Berry only learned of his actions years later, showing that Hollywood’s heroics aren’t limited to the screen.
