Salma Hayek reflected on her career and the person who helped her foray into comedy: Adam Sandler.
“I was typecast for a long time,” she said. “My entire life I wanted to do comedy and people wouldn’t give me comedies. I couldn’t land a role until I met Adam Sandler, who put me in a comedy, but I was in my forties!”
She added, “They said, ‘You’re sexy, so you’re 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 Nineties.” Hayek said that her lack of comedy roles made her “sad at the time,” but that today she’s able to do whatever genre pleases her. “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,” Hayek said. “So I’m not sad, I’m not angry; I’m laughing.”— and the Oscar nominee she received for it — would lead her to landing gigs outside of the “sex appeal” she had been known for with movies like.
