“I’m thinking, ‘Okay, this is Prince, I’m a huge fan, I’m not going to say no!’ So I took the paper and I put it in my pocket, and I went back to my seat and I just sat there, thinking, ‘What is happening right now?'”
Berry didn’t reveal whether she ended up calling Prince or not, but she did joke that she should have done it just for the story. The incident has become a cherished memory for Berry, who has spoken fondly of Prince’s kindness and generosity.
