Salma Hayek reveals the truth: She was considered ‘too sexy’ for romcoms

Los Angeles, Feb 7 : Salma Hayek revealed in a new interview with GQ UK that Hollywood blocked her from starring in a comedy for nearly 20 years because she was deemed too sexy for the genre, says Variety.

Although Hayek acted in romantic comedies such as 1997s Fools Rush In (opposite Matthew Perry) and Breaking Up (opposite Russell Crowe), she said it wasnt until 2010s Grown-Ups that she got the chance to star in a traditional comedy movie.

Hayek credited Adam Sandler with finally giving her the chance to be funny.I was typecast for a long time, Hayek told GQ UK, according to Variety.

My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldnt give me comedies.I couldnt land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy [2010s Grown Ups], but I was in my forties! They said, Youre sexy, so youre not allowed to have a sense of humor.

Not only are you not allowed to be smart, but you were not allowed to be funny in the 90s.Did being blocked by acting in comedies make Hayek angry? I was sad at the time, she said.But now here I am doing every genre, in a time in my life where they told me I would have expired -- that the last 20 years I would have been out of business.

So Im not sad, Im not angry; Im laughing.Im laughing, girl.

Hayek, notes Variety, is back in romance mode for her new movie, Steven Soderberghs Magic Mikes Last Dance.In the final installment in the Magic Mike franchise, Hayek plays the older love interest of Channing Tatums eponymous stripper.
