Salma Hayek's lap dance in Magic Mike's Last Dance almost ended in utter disaster. The upcoming threequel will act as the final installment in the Magic Mike trilogy that started in 2012 with the film of the same name, following Channing Tatum's titular stripper who dreams of starting his own business. With Magic Mike's Last Dance's release right around the corner, the movie's marketing campaign is in full swing, much of which has focused on a lascivious lap dance that Tatum's character gives Hayek's.
During a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hayek discusses making Magic Mike's Last Dance with Tatum, including receiving a very rigorous lap dance from him.
The Magic Mike's Last Dance star recalls in great detail how the acrobatic lap dance was filmed, which required her to be held upside by Tatum - and almost ended in disaster. See what she shares below:
Yeah, it was also challenging technical. There's one part that's not in it where I'm upside down and my legs had to be somewhere, but upside down one loses a sense of direction and I didn't do what I was supposed to do, so in the rehearsal I went like head down, almost hit my head. He held on to my pants, but I was really concerned because my pants were going away and I couldn't remember if I had underwear or not in this moment. So instead of putting my hands to protect my head, I just held on to the pants and he's like, "Put your hands up!" and I'm like, "No no no no." Hold on to my legs, I'm like "No no no." Until everybody came in and kind of took me away from him and he said, "What's wrong with you?" and I said "What's wrong with me? You nearly killed me!"

What To Expect From Magic Mike's Last Dance
While the first two Magic Mike movies were set in Tampa, Florida, the third film will find Tatum's titular character traveling across the pond to London for his last dance. There, he meets a wealthy socialite, played by Hayek, who makes Mike an offer he can't refuse. Not much else is known about her character or the plot of Magic Mike's Last Dance, though Tatum has described the threequel as a "fish-out-of-water" and a "reverse-role Pretty Woman story."
While the third film will focus on the relationship between Mike Lane and Hayek's character, Magic Mike's Last Dance will focus less on the characters and more on the dancing, as Tatum has promised. The marketing campaign has mostly focused on two specific dance scenes, including the aforementioned lap dance, which was revealed by a first-look image and teased further by the Magic Mike's Last Dance trailer. The movie will also end with an epic 30-minute dance sequence to wrap up the trilogy, as teased by another image of Tatum and Hayek.
Other than Tatum reprising his role as Mike Lane, he will be joined by a cast of newcomers that includes Ayub Khan Din, Jemelia George, Juliette Motamed, Vicki Pepperdine, Gavin Spokes, Caitlin Gerard, and Christopher Bencomo, many of whom will also be showing off their dance moves. Steven Soderbergh, who directed the first Magic Mike but not the sequel, is also back for the final tease. The wait for Magic Mike's Last Dance is almost over, as the movie releases in theaters Valentine's Day weekend, on February 10.

Salma Hayek Tells Story Of Her Pet Owl Vomiting On Harry Styles' Head
Salma Hayek, star of The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, revealed that her pet owl once vomited on pop star Harry Styles’ head. Hayek first appeared as Sonia, the wife of hitman Darius Kincaid (Samuel L. Jackson), in 2017’s The Hitman's Bodyguard. After being a surprise hit at the box office, the buddy comedy will be followed up by a sequel releasing in theaters June 16. The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard will see Hayek step into the spotlight after appearing in the first film for only a few minutes.
After starring alongside Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson in the action sequel, Hayek is poised to have a huge year. The Phase 4 Marvel film Eternals will see Hayek star as Ajak, the leader of the ancient superhero team. After Eternals debuts on November 5, it won’t be long until Hayek is seen in Ridley Scott's House of Gucci alongside Adam Driver and Lady Gaga on November 24. While making the press rounds for The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, Hayek has been the subject of various anecdotes, such as her slapping Reynolds shockingly hard, and now she has an even more bizarre story to share.

Appearing on The Ellen Show to promote The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard, Hayek recalled a time in which her pet owl, Kering, landed and vomited on Styles’ head. Though she was hesitant to name the “very important celebrity” whose head was the victim of this unfortunate incident, Hayek revealed towards the end of the interview that it was in fact Styles, the former One Direction member turned Dunkirk actor and solo singer. Watch Hayek recount the incident below beginning at the 6:50 mark:
With The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard releasing June 16, Hayek is just about finished making press rounds for the film. However, it won’t be long until Marvel begins the promotional campaign for Eternals, which Hayek will likely be a huge part of considering her prominent role in the film as Eternal Ajak. Hopefully, Hayek will have more interesting anecdotes to share then that could include her high-profile co-stars like Angelina Jolie and Lady Gaga.
Hayek is certainly no stranger to action films after rising to prominence with roles in Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado and From Dusk till Dawn. Her breakthrough role then came in 2002 with Frida, for which she was nominated for an Oscar. While she hasn’t starred in many action flicks since then, she will make her highly-anticipated return to the genre with her prominent role in The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard followed by her superhero debut in Eternals.
