Salma Hayek Pinault is a Mexican-American actress, producer, and director. She rose to fame in the late 1990s with her roles in films like Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn. Hayek has since gone on to star in numerous movies, including Frida, for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. However, for a long time, she was blocked from acting in comedy movies, and recently, she explained why.
The actress wasn’t allowed to explore her comedic side because she was “too hot.”
Salma Hayek recently shared with the media that she had been kept from starring in comedies for nearly 2 decades by Hollywood because she was considered ’too hot’ for the genre. Despite appearing in romantic comedies like Fools Rush In and Breaking Up, she struggled to land roles in this genre: “I was typecast for a long time,” she says. “My entire life, I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the ’90s.”
Thanks to Adam Sandler, she got her chance.
Salma mentioned that she was unable to get roles in traditional comedies until 2010’s Grown Ups, and that Adam Sandler gave her the opportunity to be funny in the film. However, she also noted that she was already in her forties by that time.
Salma Hayek played the role of Roxanne Chase-Feder in the movie. Roxanne is the wife of Lenny Feder, played by Adam Sandler. She is a caring mother and a supportive wife who helps Lenny navigate the challenges of parenting and adult life. Hayek’s performance in the film was praised for its warmth and humor.
Despite past regrets, Hayek is now happy to be where she is.
After being undermined and limited to certain types of roles for so long, Salma Hayek Pinault was able to let go and see the shallowness of that world. Although she was sad about it at the time, she is now doing every genre and is not focusing on the past. She says that she is now in a place where her appearance is not the only thing appreciated and that she has earned respect from people that really matter, so she feels seen beyond that.

Madison was as happy to pose and Maison sent his mom the photo. But he found it so cute that he decided to share it on his social media too, not realizing there was a detail in the background that he would wanted not to expose to his followers.
“I took this picture to let my Momma know I found the shirt she got me, but Meghan is too pretty not to post it,” he wrote.
He was delighted with the photo he had taken until one of his female friends brought up the “detail” that made Maison regret not looking at the photo more carefully before sharing it with everyone online.
If you examine the photo more closely you’ll notice crimson ropes slung across the headboard behind Meghan’s head.
Well, the thought of his mother seeing those ropes in the background terrified Maison.
Once he realized his honest “mistake,” Maison decided to get the best out of the situation and joked about it by posting a fun tweet that brought a lot of laughter at his followers.
The good thing is that Maison’s family was quite humorous about the photo and the ropes that are very likely utilized for activities akin to those in 50 Shades of Grey.
These two truly make a lovely couple, don’t you agree?
