Halle Berry sparked a tense moment in an interview with Chris Moyles when she accused him of "having a racist moment".
The actress, along with X-Men III: The Last Stand co-star Hugh Jackman, was interviewed on Radio One's breakfast show to promote the new movie.
At one point Moyles decided to adopt an American accent and, claiming he had a gun, demanded his guests "put your hands up in the air".
The host was clearly only joking but, when Jackman called him a "Brooklyn Bond", he retorted: "I'm a black American guy."
Oscar-winner Berry immediately pitched in with: "Are we having a racist moment here?" Moyles declared he had not intended to be racist.
A BBC spokesman later said: "There was nothing racist. She carried on chatting for another 5-10 minutes after the comment."
