Salma Hayek Pinault shared that she spent time with the strippers from “Magic Mike’s Last Dance” at her residence, where her husband, François-Henri Pinault, also made a few appearances.
In a light-hearted manner, the actress playfully mentioned that her spouse is not possessive or envious.
Channing Tatum is gearing up for his third and final performance in “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” collaborating with Salma Hayek Pinault’s character, Maxandra Mendoza, to launch a London-based “Magic Mike” stage show.
The show features a plethora of well-built dancers, and it seems that Hayek Pinault developed a close bond with her co-stars.
During an interview with People magazine, the “From Dusk Til Dawn” actress shared her initial assumptions about the dancers, humorously indicating that her husband doesn’t fret over such matters.
“My husband is not a possessive person.
I used to worry about it,” she expressed, reflecting on her misconceptions about the dancers’ personalities.
To her surprise, the actor realized that her apprehensions were unfounded, remarking, “But they’re actually wonderful guys.
They are very kind.
So, when my husband teased me about befriending the strippers, I gladly admitted it.”
Hayek Pinault revealed that her husband visited the set, where one of the dancers admired him for his accomplishments in business.
Recalling the incident, she mentioned, “On a couple of occasions, he joined us on set.
One of the dancers, who spoke French, sought his advice on business matters.
He was a huge admirer of François.
He said, ‘I’m a big fan.’
He was more impressed by François than by me!”
After wrapping up filming for the “Magic Mike” sequel, Hayek Pinault welcomed the dancers to her home, with her husband finding them all charming.
“As the shoot concluded, they all came over to my place.
They hung out with me, and François commented, ‘You were right; they are lovely and delightful.'”
This isn’t the first time Hayek Pinault has shared anecdotes from the “Magic Mike” set.
She recently joked about Tatum’s intense rehearsal for a raucous lap dance scene nearly causing her harm.
