However, she soon discovered that the role would be much more demanding than she had anticipated.

The actress described the scene as "the hardest thing" she had ever done in her career, and said that she "cried like a baby" both on and off set.
Despite the challenges, Hayek said that the experience was ultimately rewarding and that she was proud of the finished product. "It was worth it," she said. "I'm really proud of that film and I'm really proud of my performance."
"Frida" was a critical and commercial success, and Hayek received widespread praise for her portrayal of Kahlo. She was nominated for numerous awards, including an Academy Award for Best Actress, and the film went on to win six Oscars.
Hayek's emotional performance in the difficult scene was a testament to her dedication and commitment to her craft. It is this kind of dedication and vulnerability that has made her one of the most respected and talented actresses in the industry. So, this is the story of Salma Hayek's difficult scene that made her cry.
