Did Halle Berry neck a pint of whisky at Comic-Con?

Academy Award-winning actress Halle Berry has impressed audiences across the globe with her performances. From Monster's Ball to X-Men, her dedication to her craft has garnered praise from critics and the public alike.

Yet this dedication reached what was perhaps its zenith this week at Comic-Con in San Diego, as she appeared to drink a pint of whisky in one go.

Berry was present at the convention to promote Kingsman: The Golden Circle, the sequel to the 2014 hit film Kingsman: The Secret Service.

The cast, which includes Colin Firth and Channing Tatum, were discussing the film, when moderator Jonathan Ross pulled out a bottle of - supposedly - whisky called Statesman Reserve. He handed the bottle, shot glasses and a pint glass down the table, and Berry ended up with the pint glass while Tatum, writes AOL, "poured the glass about three quarters full".

During a Q&A session, Berry was asked to compare her role in the James Bond film Die Another Day to her role in Kingsman, which is widely seen as a spoof of the Bond franchise. She answered by downing the entire glass in one go as the crowd cheered.

"Kingsman would like to remind you to drink responsibly," Ross said afterwards. "She's a professional, she can handle it."

When asked whether the whisky was real, Berry told Entertainment Tonight: "Let that be a mystery to the world. Never dare a girl like me to do anything, because I just take the challenge."
