‘It was quite alarming’: The set of Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg’s new movie is ‘shut down after crew thought that they had found live ammunition’

The set of Halle Berry and Mark Wahlberg’s action film, Our Man From Jersey, was reportedly shut down after crew found what they thought was live ammunition.

The actors, 55 and 50, have been filming in London for the new Netflix distributed action thriller, which was announced last year.

But the shooting was seemingly interrupted as members of the film crew reportedly found a crushed balloon gas canister which looked like live ammunition.

The source told the publication: ‘It was quite alarming and there was no hesitation in phoning the police, who arrived quite promptly.’

Scotland Yard also commented to the publication, saying: ‘Police were called to reports of an item, described as a bullet casing.

The stars were snapped recently as they shot a dramatic scene on Albert Bridge, which saw extras dressed as armed police on bikes while a helicopter hovered inches away from the bridge. 

While other images from last month showed Halle as she drove a vintage car with a red soft top, with Mark jumping in the passengers seat.

The movie is set to air via Netflix, with Halle building ties with the streaming platform after recently working with them for the premiere of her 2021 directorial debut Bruised there.
