On the latest episode of Complex's GOAT Talk, Shaquille O'Neal admitted that Halle Berry is his celebrity crush and he once fumbled his shot with her.
Joined by his son Myles O'Neal, Shaq expressed his shock when the question of "GOAT celebrity crush" came up. Myles respectfully passed, but his father didn't hold back. "My answer is Halle Berry," he said around the 7-minute point of the episode, as seen above.
"But hold on, I had a shot one time and I froze," he shared. "So one day I'm at the Four Seasons on Doheny [Los Angeles] and I'm in the elevator. I'm coming up from the bottom and the door opens. It's me, D Mac, and the door opens and it's Halle Berry." The moment she walked in the elevator, however, he couldn't find the words.
"All I could hear was 'ding,'" he continued. "But hold on what made it worse, she spoke to me first. 'Oh hello, Shaquille.' So now I got a little woody and I'm just like... [opens mouth wide]. Then it opened and then she fucking walks out. And D Mac like, 'You stupid motherfucker.' So, Halle Berry... I know she has a little husband, but he won't mind the story."
