Halle Berry Joins the Cast
Halle Berry often worked out twice a day to prepare for the film. Her longtime personal trainer Peter Lee Thomas, told USA TODAY the details. Berry worked out five days a week, for 60-90 minutes at a time. Thomas, who has studied mixed martial arts, trained Berry like a fighter: She shadowboxed, wore a sauna suit and skipped rope. Moreover, the Executive Decision star took fight training in forms like Jiu Jitsu.
“This woman is so hard-working and tough, I had to tell her to stop,” says Heidi Moneymaker, Berry’s fight trainer on “John Wick.”
But Berry’s relentless approach may have gotten her in trouble: The actress broke three ribs while stunt training.
“She did go through a lot of strains and bruises,” Moneymaker says. “But even if she was dog-tired, if I said, ‘How do you feel?’ she’d say, ‘Great, let’s go again.’ “
