Halle Berry looked so stunning as Cleopatra in the new Caesars Sportsbook ad that she had to compliment herself.
She took to her Instagram on Sunday (December 5) to share some behind-the-scenes footage of her transformation, and she captured her post “… she bad.”
She ain’t lying, and I’m sure Young M.A would agree.
