Cast your mind back to the 2003 Oscars.

Over two decades ago Halle Berry presented Adrien Brody with his Best Actor award for The Pianist, making the thespian the youngest ever recipient of the award at just 29.

Following his award win, the star planted a kiss on Halle's lips, shocking the Catwoman actress with his amorous display, with the actress saying at the time she wondered what was happening.

Pre-kiss, Halle turned to Georgina, quickly apologizing, joking, "I'm sorry, Georgina, but I've gotta do it," before smooching The Brutalist star, adding, "He's nominated this year. He deserved that."

Of her surprise move, Halle wrote on Instagram: " Surprise @adrienbrody!! I had to get some payback."

Georgina appeared to take it all in her stride, cheering Halle on as she kissed her husband, before joining the duo in an embrace, which saw Halle kiss the fashion professional too, however according to body language expert IInbaal Honigman who works with betting agent Covers, all might not be as it seems.

"Adrien's partner acts as though she is unbothered by the moment, but her body language tells a different story.

"She throws her arms wide and turns her palms upwards, a symbolic gesture of welcoming Halle into the joke. However, when she claps, her hands rise unnaturally high, covering her body, suggesting a protective instinct rather than genuine enthusiasm. Her laughter also appears exaggerated, she bends over in apparent amusement, but her eyes never leave the back of Halle's neck.

"This forced reaction suggests that her giggles are purely for show. Adrien picks up on it, and in response, he turns to Georgina and kisses her, a silent reassurance that she is the one who truly has his heart."

While seeing her husband kiss one of the world's most beautiful women must have been dramatic enough for Georgina, she was in the spotlight again later in the evening when Adrien ascended the stairs to accept his Best Actor gong.

As he walked to receive the accolade, Adrien attempted to throw his chewing gum to Georgina - live on camera.

Georgina missed the gum toss, but the audience loved it all the same. We hope Adrien was able to apologize to the theater's janitor, who is going to need to recover that gum from the carpet!
