Jamie Foxx says steamy kiss with Halle Berry was a joke

Washington, June 15: Jamie Foxx has put wandering minds to rest by saying that his steamy kiss with Halle Berry at a recent awards ceremony was just a joke.The actor had raised eyebrows when he shared a passionate kiss with the former Bond girl, after presenting her with the Hottest Girl On the Planet Award at Spike TV`s second Annual Guy`s Choice Awards in Los Angeles.

The Oscar-winner insists that the embrace was just a joke masterminded by the stunning actress herself. "It was a joke. First, I want to let everybody know that I respect Halle Berry and I respect her relationship,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying. “But after she won the (2001) Oscar, Adrien Brody came up and laid a little tongue on her. So she decided to get me back, which I didn`t mind at all," he added. Foxx further confessed that he was a bundle of nerves before pulling the prank. "I almost froze but I said, `Think quick Foxx,` and I got into it... she really gave it to me and I appreciate that," he said. ANI
