Halle Berry‘s got jokes.
On Saturday, the Oscar-winning actress responded to a tweet that included a bizarre tidbit about her family tree. The post was part of a thread by Daily Blast Live, which pointed to different celebrities you probably didn’t know were related. There was Sen. Bernie Sanders and Larry David; actress Kerry Washington and former Secretary of State Colin Powell; Dakota Fanning and the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton; as well as Hillary Clinton and Madonna.
Berry was featured on the list, which connected her to former Alaska governor and one-time vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
“This pair shares roots that may seem like they’re from different trees,” the tweet read, “but @halleberry and former VP candidate @SarahPalinUSA are distant relatives — though the actual connection is unclear.”
Berry caught wind of the tweet a couple of days later; and though she didn’t deny the relation, Berry made her feelings toward the conservative figure very clear.
Berry revealed she and Palin were distant relatives back in 2012, during a promotional tour for Cloud Atlas. along with her co-star Tom Hanks.
“You want to know who I’m related to? Sarah Palin!” Berry said in an interview Extra.
“No!” reporter Jerry Penacoli replied.
“That’s what I said, ‘Noooo!'” Berry shouted with a laugh. “Some twisted way … Somebody sent me this information that she was my distant [relative].”
