Another well-known actress appears to have come close to bringing Halle Berry's Bruised role to life. Jackie Justice, a former MMA fighter who is convinced to return to the ring after her abandoned young son reappears in her life, makes her directorial debut with the upcoming Netflix sports drama in which she plays Jackie Justice, a former MMA fighter who is persuaded to return to the ring after her abandoned young son reappears in her life.

On Monday, Berry, 55, revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that her role was originally intended for Blake Lively. "This was just given to me by my agency." Another actress was tied to the tale when I received it. According to the media reports, she said, "This was for Blake Lively." "Because the script was written for a young, Irish-Catholic white girl when I first got it." 

'But,' I told my agent, 'I adore this.' This is a role I have to play. This isn't like that. I'll have to consider it, but I'm going to do it.' 'Well, it's Blake's right now, so if Blake decides to give it away or pass it up, you'll be the first person you come to,' she explained.

"So I had to wait patiently for six months until Blake decided it wasn't something she wanted to do," Halle added, beckoning with her hands that she went into the casting," Berry continued. Meanwhile, Halle Berry is directing her first film, Bruised. On Saturday, at the AFI Fest debut of her Netflix film Bruised, the 55-year-old Oscar winner talked about her excitement for the film, as well as "the fight game" and how the film has been the "biggest challenge" of her career. Bruised debuts on Netflix on November 24.
