Salma Hayek continued her promotional tour for House Of Gucci with an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden. During the conversation, the 55-year-old actress described one scene with Lady Gaga that she found ‘horrific’ as she spoke about the chaos that unfolded while shooting a mud bath.
However, what made more challenging the scene by the fact that she had gained ‘extra kilos’ to play Pina Auriemma in the film. Meanwhile, while describing, Salma reenacted what she called the ‘”challenging scene I’ve ever done.” The Oscar-nominated actress sat down with James Corden and guest Keith Urban on Thursday, November 18 where she talked about getting her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and also her upcoming film House Of Gucci.
Corden asked about a ‘spa scene’ she had filmed with Gaga, 35, which he teed up as being a ‘particularly bonding moment’ for the ladies. “I’ve never done a mud bath,” Hayek confessed before sharing that her expectations about how it was supposed to go were completely wrong. “Once you’re in, you’re naked,” she described getting into the bath. “Well not completely, we had something underneath but nothing on top – and the thing is that, in my head, I was going to sink,” she recalled.
Salma also remarked that how Gaga sunk into the bath ‘like an Egyptian queen’ but for her it was different. “Me, with my extra kilos, I sit on the mud and I’m not sinking. And I’m trying to pull the mud away from my huge butt to make some weight move. And then it starts moving me around,’ she shared while re-enacting how her body sloshed around, as she kicked her legs up and laid on the couch during the interview.

Salma hilariously continued to say that it was a “very dramatic scene” they were shooting and Gaga was trying to stay focused, while she swung around. “I couldn’t remember the lines. One leg was up, and then I go sink in. It was a horrific… most challenging scene I’ve ever done,” she stated. In the film, Salma Hayek plays the character, Pina Auriemma, a clairvoyant friend of ‘black widow’ Patrizia Reggiani (played by Lady Gaga) who plotted to kill ex-husband Maurizio Gucci (played by Adam Driver) and was sentenced to 26 years in prison.
