Halle Berry might have an Oscar, but she knows what it’s like on the other side (of the bar).

“I wasn’t even old enough to be a bartender. I was in a big city, and I was 19 years old,” she recalled to Jimmy Kimmel about her days in Chicago. “I wasn’t very good, but I ended up being good because I would say, ‘OK, so what do you want?’ And they would say, ‘Sex on the beach,’ and I would say, ‘Interesting, what is in a Sex on the Beach?’ And they would tell me, and I would just start pouring.”

Even though she was underage at the time, she was fired for another reason:

“I put way too much alcohol in everything, so imagine the tips I got, but I lost my job in about three months. They were going through liquor like you would not believe.”
