Salma Hayek Ad-Libbed On ‘How To Be A Latin Lover’

Hayek improvised throughout the film, including the tortillas slap scene!

BackstageOL’s Dave Morales sat down with Salma Hayek in this backstage interview to talk about the upcoming comedy How to Be a Latin Lover, directed by Ken Marino.

In the interview, Hayek told us how excited she was to work with Eugenio Derbez and how she and her castmates ad-libbed plenty of times while on set.

Synopsis:

Maximo (Eugenio Derbez) gets the surprise of his life when his wealthy, 80-year-old wife dumps him for a younger car salesman. Forced out of his mansion, he must now move in with his estranged sister Sara (Salma Hayek) and her nerdy but adorable son Hugo (Raphael Alejandro). Anxious to return to the lap of luxury, Maximo hatches a scheme to seduce a widowed billionaire (Raquel Welch) and live the high life once again.

How to Be a Latin Lover hits theaters this Friday, April 28th. Check out the full interview with Hayek below:
