Last night during the epic Teddy Riley Verzuz Babyface, Babyface shocked viewers when he revealed that Michael Jackson once hit him up — desperate to date Hollywood actress, Halle Berry.
“Speaking of MJ, it reminds me of a story, true story, fun fact. One time, Michael called me and said, ‘Babyface, do you know who Halle Berry is?'” Babyface told Teddy. “I said, ‘Yeah, I know Halle Berry.’ He said, ‘Could you do me a favor? I want you to call her because I want to take her out on a date.’ I said, ‘What?’ and he said, ‘Call her, I want to take her out on a date.’ So I said, ‘Let me reach out’ and I reached out for him, for the agent because I didn’t have Halle Berry’s number.”
It seems that Halle may not have been too into the idea.
“I called and gave the message and the manager’s like, ‘What?” and I said, ‘Yeah, he wants to take her out on a date.’ And then, I was waiting to hear back from Halle, and I can’t tell you exactly what Halle said, but I imagine it probably would have been something like this…”
He then played a snippet of Halle’s voice from the movie Boomerang — “You know, what do you know about love? What do you possibly think you know about love?” she says in the clip.
Oops.
