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.

Catherine Zeta-Jones’ daughter is growing up fast, and she looks just like her famous mom
Growing up in the shadow of two Hollywood celebrities can’t be simple.
Dylan Michael and Carys Zeta Douglas, offspring of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones, seem to live a life of luxury and privilege, as one might expect.
Their journey through adolescence has captivated media attention, speculating whether they would follow their famous parents into show business.
Recent developments suggest Carys might just be stepping into her mother’s shoes.
Zeta-Jones openly expressed her hopes for her children to pursue acting, saying: “You want to watch them on stage”. She shared how both kids have shown interest in the craft, with Dylan aiming for a theater degree and Carys initially leaning towards acting over becoming a pediatrician.
The public is keenly following their aspirations, especially Carys, whose striking resemblance to her mother has become a talking point. Her runway debut at New York Fashion Week last year created quite a buzz.
Despite being just 15, Carys has maintained a low profile. However, a recent appearance with her mother at the Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda event in New York brought her back into the spotlight. The duo arrived in matching outfits, drawing attention not just for their attire but also for their uncanny resemblance.
Carys is blossoming into a beautiful young woman, much like her famous mother, and reports suggest she possesses a similarly kind-hearted nature.
