Salma Hayek, Latest from Her Racist and Nudity
Category : Women Personality, Women Gossip
Racial conflicts became very popular movie subject right now since “Crash” won Oscar for the best movie, and that’s exactly what “Ask the Dust”, a new film starring Salma Hayek, is all about. “Ask the Dust” is based on the cult novel by John Fante and stars Colin Farrell as Arturo Bandini, an aspiring Italian-American writer in 1930s Los Angeles who reluctantly falls in love with an illiterate Mexican waitress played by Mexican-born Salma Hayek.
Even Director Robert Towne, who won a screenwriting Oscar for “Chinatown” said he fell in love with Fante’s book 30 years ago and envisaged Al Pacino playing the lead but too much time had passed for that.
Towne said that Salma Hayek have a rare combination of somebody who is self-assured sexually, who is self-assured period, but who understands very well and has suffered from the prejudice that Mexicans historically have suffered from. He also said that Hayek had turned down the part when he first approached her eight or nine years ago, fearing she would be typecast.
As for the beautiful Salma Hayek, she has faced her own share of racism at Hollywood. Now, after a successful TV career in Mexico, at the age of 39 Hayek has established herself as a bankable Hollywood name, but she said when she first arrived she was constantly being told that nobody wanted to hear foreign accents on screen. Hayek said, “They hadn’t noticed there were 38 million Latinos in the United States and that was an important market, I’d go as far as to say they were quite stupid business-wise. But I didn’t take it that personally, I did have five minutes when I said, ‘It’s pure racism,’ but it’s really a lack of information.”
While shooting “Ask The Dust” movie in Cape Town South Africa, Salma Hayek become the unofficial spokeswoman for a hamburger cafe there. The actress gobbled down hamburgers from fast food diner Royale and now can’t wait to return because everything tastes poor in comparison. “There was a place called Royale that had the best hamburgers in the world - better than in America. They had these fantastic milkshakes and they had one with chocolate and delicious mint,” Salma said.
At the New York premiere of “Ask The Dust,” Salma Hayek complained that she felt miserable, but that didn’t stop the sexy star and apparently her new pal Lindsay Lohan from sharing a kiss on the red carpet. Hayek looks miserable in the snaps when Lohan nibbling on Salma’s ear and stealing a kiss from the ill actress but it might be that Hayek just wants to keep from getting Lindsay sick.
About her full frontal performance, Hayek told the media that the role meant so much to her that she was willing to do a full-frontal, albeit brief, nude scene in which both she and Farrell go starkers on a beach at night.
“I don’t want to do nudity just for the sake of doing nudity,but this is an iconic part of the story (from) the book. It’s important because it represents (Camilla’s) spirit, which is very free, and yet she lives in world where she’s very repressed by the circumstances. So (the nudity is) almost symbolic for who she is,” says Hayek.
