Shaquille O’ Neal opens up on the matter
Shaquille O’Neal is a fan of Halle Berry. But his admiration for Berry is not merely limited to her craft. The Los Angeles Lakers legend had once admittedly dreamed about settling down with the ‘X-Men’ actress and having kids with her. Shaq had been crushing on Berry way before he had even gotten into LSU. Even then he continued to fantasize about a married life together.
“Oh, she’s smiling at me! I’m going to marry her!” I’m picturing my wife and my beautiful house and my fabulous kids and my glamorous cars, and it made me feel better. I never stopped dreaming,” Shaq once wrote in his autobiography.
According to ‘Shaq Uncut’, the 4x NBA champion decided to write a letter to Berry after he watched her debut movie ‘Jungle Fever’. The 15x NBA All-Star was probably on cloud nine when Berry wrote him back. Berry also sent a signed picture that Shaq still has to this date. The popular actress was a basketball fan and she had written that she was a big fan of Shaq and was eagerly waiting for his NBA Draft selection.
