Rachel McAdams Steals the Spotlight with Cute Surprise for Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry During Interview
When two of Hollywood’s most beloved stars collide, the results are usually cinematic, but a recent off-screen moment between Rachel McAdams, Chris Hemsworth, and Halle Berry was pure, unscripted magic. The surprise took place during a high-profile press junket in London on Friday, February 6.
Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry were in the middle of a joint interview promoting their upcoming heist thriller, Crime 101. The atmosphere was already lively as the two Marvel veterans joked about a hypothetical “Thor vs. Storm” lightning battle. Suddenly, the door to the interview suite swung open, and Rachel McAdams stepped into the room.
The surprise was genuine, as neither Hemsworth nor Berry seemed to know their fellow A-lister was in the same building. McAdams, who is currently on her own press tour for the Sam Raimi-directed horror film Send Help, was greeted with cheers from the duo. The three stars immediately shared a warm, three-way hug that had cameras flashing and the internet buzzing within minutes.

“I didn’t think I’d see you here!” Berry exclaimed while laughing as they embraced. McAdams, looking effortless in a casual chic ensemble, stayed for a few minutes to catch up before heading to her next appointment. The moment offered a rare glimpse into the genuine friendships that exist within the industry’s elite circles.
Rachel McAdams has been having a massive start to 2026. Her film Send Help has been a surprise box office success, grossing over $33 million in its first week. The movie stars McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as coworkers who survive a plane crash only to be stranded on a dangerous island. Fans have praised her “relatable and gritty” performance, which marks her first major lead role in a horror-thriller since Red Eye.
Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth and Halle Berry are preparing for the February 13 release of Crime 101. Directed by Bart Layton, the film features Hemsworth as a brilliant jewel thief and Berry as a determined insurance broker. The project reunites Hemsworth with his Avengers costar Mark Ruffalo, who plays the detective trying to bring the heist to an end.
Hemsworth has also been making headlines for his upcoming role in the crime drama Kockroach. He recently replaced Channing Tatum in the lead role, playing a mysterious stranger who rises through New York’s criminal underworld. Additionally, he and his wife, Elsa Pataky, are starring in a viral Super Bowl commercial for Amazon’s AI-powered Alexa+, which is set to air this Sunday.
Halle Berry is equally busy with her production company, HalleHolly. She recently announced a massive slate of projects, including the gender-swapped thriller The President Is Missing. In it, she will play President Joanna Duncan, who must evade her own Secret Service to save the world.
