'It Was Scary', Salma Hayek Reveals Traumatic awkward Scene With Antonio Banderas Made Her Cry
Ask anyone and you'll know that growing up, Salma Hayek was one Hollywood actress who had quite the s** appeal.
Be it her acting in movies or just her exceptionally good looks, Salma really developed a crazy fan following from her American and Mexican movies.
It was really in the 90s and the 2000s when she truly made a name for herself having worked in films like Traffic (2000), Frida (2002), and Midaq Valley (1995).
She also starred in popular Hollywood films like the Spy Kids Franchise and others, thereby enhancing her status as a top actor.
However, one film that really stood out for many of her fans was her 1995 film, Desperado.
The film starring Salma and Antonio Banderas revolved around the story of a musician, El Mariachi (Banderas), who goes out to take revenge on a drug lord who killed his lover.
The movie was quite a success at the box office grossing around $58 million worldwide and was Salma's breakout role.
One particular feature in the movie revolved around the love scenes between Antonio and Salma's characters.
However, while the scenes played out very well and seemed romantic and full of passion in the film, the reality was pretty far from that.
Salma, in an interview, revealed how she was scared of doing the s*x scenes in the film.
Speaking on the Armchair Expert podcast, Salma said, "One of the things that I was afraid of was Antonio. Because he's an absolute gentleman, super nice and we are still very close friends, but he was very free."
"It was scary because for him it was nothing and that scared me because I've never been in front of someone like that. In that situation, I started crying. 'Oh my God, you're making me feel terrible.' I was so embarrassed I was crying. I was not letting go of the towel, and they would try to make me laugh. I started crying again but we got through it."
However, Salma revealed that the whole cast and crew made were very supportive throughout the film.
"They were amazing though, they were amazing. We did the best with what we could do at the time," she said.
"They were so magnificent, this group of people. He [actor Robert Rodriguez] never put pressure on me."
Salma was recently seen in Marvel's Eternals movie where she played the role of Ajak, the leader of a team of immortal extraterrestrial superheroes.
