LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Salma Hayek, who is starring alongside Channing Tatum in 'Magic Mike's Last Dance', revealed how rehearsals for the raunchy flick weren't quite as sensual behind the scenes. The voluptuous actress recalled an incident during an appearance on the 'Graham Norton Show' this week, scheduled to air on Friday, February 10.

Hayek remembered having to hang on to Tatum for "dear life" while she was attempting a move that concluded with her falling upside down. While her able-bodied co-star grabbed her bottoms to save her from the fall, she admitted to the host Graham Norton that she "couldn't remember if I was wearing underwear."

'I couldn’t remember if I was wearing underwear'

"It is very balletic and very sexy. I was terrified about trying to make it look easy, but it really needs strength in the body, which I do not have because I don’t work out," Hayek told host Norton about the new film's dance moves. "You must be very precise and one time when we were rehearsing, and I had to put my legs in a specific position, and I was upside down and I got very confused and was heading straight to the ground headfirst." She added, "Channing tried to grab me by my sweatpants, which were coming off. Then I couldn’t remember if I was wearing underwear, so I was hanging on for dear life!"



 

It's worth noting that 'Magic Mike's Last Dance' is the third and final installment in the trilogy, based on Channing's character Mike Lane and his stripper dance crew. Hayek looked chic in a black blazer and platformed camel croc heels as she took to the famous red couch on the British talk show. Aside from the brunette bombshell, stars including Shania Twain, Julianne Moore, Johannes Radebe, Lizzo, and Tom Grennan also made appearances to chat with Norton, the Daily Mail reported.



 

No say in her nuptials

MEAWW previously reported how Hayek broke her silence after 13 years of marriage and revealed she had no say in her nuptials. The actress recalled having "no choice" other than to get married to her husband Francois-Henri Pinault in 2009. She said that the surprise courthouse wedding happened as a decision from her family, friends, and her partner but not of her own. The 57-year-old actress and the billionaire businessman married on Valentine's Day and she described the wedding as an "intervention." Hayek said she had a phobia of the idea of marriage which resulted in her dear ones taking up the decision for her, per Glamour magazine.

Hayek married Pinault on February 14, 2009, in a civil ceremony attended only by their family. Two months after the duo tied the knot, they hosted a lavish celebratory party for the A-list celebrities. The pair met in 2006 at Palazzo Grassi in Venice while they attended a gala. Despite claiming she had no say in her nuptials, her marriage with Pinault is still going strong. The couple has a 15-year-old daughter named Valentina Paloma Pinault. Pinault is also a father to three children from his previous relationships.
