Salma Hayek invited her Magic Mike’s Last Dance stripper co-stars to her own home

Salma Hayek opened up about her close relationship with her Magic Mike’s Last Dance stripper co-stars and revealed to People on Wednesday that she eventually invited them to her own home. 

The From Dusk Till Dawn actress, 56, added that her husband and French billionaire, Francois Pinault, was ‘not a jealous man’ and also found her co-stars to be ‘lovely.’

The talented beauty, who shares daughter, Valentina, 15, with the successful businessman, recently revealed that she had ‘no choice’ but to say ‘I do’ to Pinault during their 2009 courthouse wedding.

In the anticipated dramedy, the Oscar-nominated star portrays the role of Maxandra Mendoza, a wealthy socialite who asks the help of Channing Tatum‘s character, Mike Lane, to put on a ‘steamy’ show at a small London theater after crossing paths in Miami.

The upcoming movie is the third and final installment in the Magic Mike franchise, and is set to premiere on Friday, February 10, just in time for Valentine’s Day weekend.

Salma opened up to People about becoming good friends with her Magic Mike’s Last Dance stripper co-stars while working together on set. 

‘My husband is not a jealous man,’ the Frida actress informed the entertainment outlet. 

The talented beauty recalled that, at first, she would call her husband while on the production and had told him, ‘Oh my God, I feel so bad,’ because I had this predisposition about how the guys, the strippers, were going to be.’ 

However, she added that her castmates were, ‘lovely. They’re such great guys. And [my husband] goes, ‘Oh God, you’re becoming best friends with the strippers, aren’t you?’ And I said, ‘Yes!’ 

Hayek explained that the French businessman had visited the set on a few separate occasions. ‘There was especially one [co-star] who would come and ask him advice for business,’ she mused. 

‘He spoke French and he knew everything about François. He says, ‘I’m a big fan.’ He reacted more to François than to me!’ the mother of one humorously added. 

Due to the great rapport she and her castmates had, Salma ended up inviting them to her house ‘by the end of the movie.’ 

‘They were all hanging out with me,’ she stated, adding that her husband of 13-years also enjoyed the company. ‘Then François was saying, ‘You’re right, they’re adorable, they’re lovely.’ 

‘Great guys’: The beauty added that her castmates were, ‘lovely’ and that ‘They’re such great guys. And [my husband] goes, ‘Oh God, you’re becoming best friends with the strippers, aren’t you?’ And I said, ‘Yes!’; seen in January in Beverly Hills

Another castmate Salma became close to during the course of the production was her leading co-star, Channing Tatum, who reprised his role of ‘Magic’ Mike. 

The beauty explained that The Lost City actor was ‘a real gentleman,’ and further added, ‘He’s like a Southern gentleman and he cares about that. Because he’s so cool and goofy and funny. He can be that. Or he can also be very smart and intense and focused.’ 

Along with stating that Tatum was ‘always kind,’ she also recalled telling the actor, ‘Your mom taught you well.’ I think that normally comes, most of the times, from the mother. I think that is true.’ 

During a joint interview on Good Morning America, Salma discussed jumping into the franchise with Channing, who had been Magic Mike from the very beginning in the popular films. 

‘In a way, it takes off the pressure to understand that you are working with the best,’ she stated of her talented co-star. ‘So, on one hand, there’s a comfort zone. On the other hand, I had a great character.’  

‘Focused’: The talented beauty explained that, ‘He’s like a Southern gentleman and he cares about that. Because he’s so cool and goofy and funny. He can be that. Or he can also be very smart and intense and focused’

Grand premiere: Magic Mike’s Last Dance, which is the third and final installment in the franchise, premieres on Friday February 14 for Valentine’s Day weekend 

During a recent cover story for Glamour Magazine published earlier this month, Salma opened up about her marriage to Francois, and revealed the big day wasn’t exactly planned. 

The two lovebirds tied the knot in a low-key civil ceremony on February 14, 2009 with only family in attendance, before rolling out the lavish celebrations two-months later for an A-list wedding bash.

But speaking on the initial day, the beauty told Glamour: ‘I didn’t even know I was getting married that day. It was like an intervention. I don’t think I ever told this story.

‘No, they just took me to the court. My parents, my brother, they were all ganging up on me. I had a phobia of the marriage thing. The reason it was a courthouse wedding was because they dragged me there. I was nervous.

She concluded: ‘And then after, there was a lunch at his parents’ house. My mother-in-law, who’s the most tasteful person when it comes to entertaining, had already been doing the lunch. I had no choice.’

In April that year, the couple welcomed pals such as Stella McCartney, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz to a weekend celebration in Venice. 

Salma and Francois initially became engaged in 2007, and welcomed their daughter, Valentina, that same year, before getting married two years later. Upon tying the knot, the actress became stepmother to the businessman’s three other children from previous relationships.
