Halle Berry and Chris Hemsworth star in a film titled Crime 101 as an insurance broker and a jewel thief, respectively. At CinemaCon in Las Vegas the other day, both actors expressed their admiration for each other. Berry talked about an instance from Crime 101 where Hemsworth supported her that made her a fan of the Thor star "for the rest of her life." In a conversation with E! News, Berry stated, "I won’t go into it now, but he stood up for me in a moment in our movie, and instantly I knew right then I’m gonna follow this guy, be a fan of this guy for the rest of his life because he stood up for a woman."

She added that Hemsworth did it not out of compulsion but because he is one who stands up for his co-stars.

On the other hand, Hemsworth earlier spoke about the sense of intimidation and awe he felt while working with Berry. "I’ve admired Halle’s work for many, many years. I was obviously very intimidated to sit opposite her within a scene and try and, you know, not just be in awe of what she was doing," Hemsworth stated.

Bart Layton is the director of the film, based on Don Winslow's Crime 101: A Novella. The cast also includes Mark Ruffalo, Monica Barbaro, and Barry Keoghan.
