New
York,
(ANI):
If
reports
are
to
believed,
Halle
Berry
had
her
eyes
on
Olivier
Martinez
and
wanted
him
for
their
upcoming
flick
Deep
Tide.
Before
they
started
filming
in
June,
"Halle
sent
her
people
to
go
after
Martinez
for
the
movie.
She
specifically
requested
him
and
told
her
camp
to
go
get
him," New
York
Post
quoted
a
source
as
saying.
In
April,
Berry
broke
up
with
model
Gabriel
Aubry.
Martinez
dated
Kylie
Minogue
for
four
years
until
they
split
in
2007.
Berry
and
Martinez
were
pictured
getting
cozy
on
the
set
in
August
and
have
since
been
seen
together
on
romantic
dates
in
Paris
and
LA.
"It's
definitely
real,
and
it's
hot
and
heavy," said
a
source.
But
Berry's
rep
denied
he
was
cast
because
of
her
request,
"Olivier
was
cast
because
he
was
the
best
actor
for
the
role
and
both
Halle
and
the
director
agreed.
Any
speculation
beyond
that
reason
is
completely
false."
Martinez's
rep
didn't
respond
to
calls
and
e-
mails.
Jeanette
Buerling,
chief
executive
of
the
production
company
The
Magnet
Media
Group,
had
no
comment.
The
picture
is
due
out
next
year.
