“We were up in Montreal prepping for Gothika, and we had lunch with the director and Halle Berry,” Susan later recalled of their not-so-cute meet cute during a subsequent 2014 interview with the Hollywood Reporter. “Everybody else ordered Japanese, but Robert told us how oatmeal was the ‘superfood.’ He brought his own packets of oatmeal to have at lunch. And he had this box of various herbs and stuff. And then he started doing these yoga moves. I mean, he was interesting but weird.”
