Oscar award-nominated actress Salma Hayek recently starred in the American comedy-drama film Magic Mike’s Last Dance alongside Channing Tatum. According to the actress she had a thrilling experience while filming with her co-star.
Previously, during an appearance on a talk show, the actress talked about a series of events that occurred while shooting the movie, including the one where she almost bared it all in front of Tantum. The actress also expressed that at times, she feared showing her bikini body, since she wasn’t very confident.
Salma Hayek had an oops moment while filming Magic Mike’s Last Dance
Earlier this year, Salma Hayek appeared in Channing Tatum’s film Magic Mike’s Last Dance. The film made a big blast at the box office by grossing $2.2 billion worldwide.
There was one scene in the film that was the most talked about. The steamy lap dance generated much hype among the audience, but what they know less about is the toil put behind it to ace it. During an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hayek shared her experience of filming the scene, which almost led to a mishap on the set.
The actress explained that filming the scene required much physical effort, and there was also a scene that didn’t make it to the final cut but will be always remembered by her. The actress shared that while filming the scene she nearly injured herself. The actress said,
“I went head down [and] almost hit my head.”
However, the worst was yet to come as the actress soon realized that she wasn’t wearing her underpants, and at that moment protecting her dignity was more important than saving her head from hitting the ground. The actress recalled,
“He held onto my pants, but I was really concerned because my pants were going away and I couldn’t remember if I had underwear or not at this moment, so instead of putting my hands to protect my head, I just held onto the pants.”
Tatum was startled to see Hayek saving her pants rather than herself. However, with the help of other crew members Hayek was safely upright, as once she got down, she got a stern lecture from Tatum on safety.
Salma Hayek felt insecure about showing her bikini body
During the same interview, Salma Hayek told the host that she really enjoyed working in the film, and by the completion of the filming of the scene, the actress wanted to go into the water.
However, she was hesitant about wearing the slim suit as she was concerned about her appearance. The actress went on to explain that her insecurity grew even stronger when she realized that there were a lot of people around. And then Channing Tatum came to the scene. The actress said in Jimmy Kimmel Live!,
“Channing arrives from the back then he goes what are you doing sitting there on the floor getting the and I said no no no I don’t want to take my thing no I don’t want anybody to see me on a bathing suit and take a picture.”
Tatum reassured Hayek by claiming,
“I have been walking up and down for hours hoping for someone to take a picture of me because every time I gain weight I go to the water for one second and they take a picture.”
Hearing from Tatum, Hayek was surprised, as the actress told Kimmel,
“Today that I’m in my best shape after all the work I’ve been doing nobody’s taking my picture.”
Magic Mike’s Last Dance can be streamed on Prime Video.
