Academy Award winning actress Halle Berry is apologizing after she received backlash for considering a transgender role.

Halle Berry has issued an apology after facing a myriad of criticizing remarks online over an acting role.

The actress, 53, sparked fury on Friday when she announced during an Instagram Live video with hairstylist Christin Brown that she was considering playing a trans character.

According to multiple reports, Berry's now-expired Instagram Live did not specify what project the character was for but she said it was one she was considering with excitement.

"[It's] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she's a woman that transitioned into a man," Berry initially told Brown, as reported by People.

Some of the backlash Berry received had to do with the pronouns she used when discussing the potential role

"Halle Berry referring to a transgender man by she/her/hers pronouns is part of the reason why SHE, A CISGENDER WOMAN, SHOULD NOT PLAY A TRANSGENDER MAN

"Cannot overstate the extent to which the way Berry misgenders and appropriates her character in this interview is how cis women habitually talk about trans men IRL," tweeted another person
