Salma Hayek guested on BBC’s The Graham Norton Show and had a couple of things to share about her new BFF Angelina Jolie.
The two star alongside each other in Marvel’s latest superhero movie Eternals, which follows powerful immortal beings who has looked after humans throughout the ages.
This is the first time that Hayek and Jolie have starred in a film together but the two hit it off and have become fast friends.
Scroll down to see what Salma had to say about Angie.
Intense Conversations With Angelina Jolie
While on The Graham Norton Show, Hayek opened up about her friendship with Jolie. She shared that she sometimes has "intense conversations" with the Maleficent actress.
“I spent a lot of time with these people, and they are such good friends now,” she said.
“Angie (Angelina Jolie) is amazing – we have so much in common and we really hit it off. She has kids the same age as mine and we love to fight for justice – her more than me. Sometimes we have really intense conversations and sometimes I just had to say, ‘Oh no, not today, Angie!’”
Salma And Angelina Became "Soul Sisters"
Jolie plays elite warrior Thena in the movie, while Hayek is the spiritual leader Ajak.
The two veteran actresses are similar in many ways, which made it easy for them to develop a friendship.
"I discovered a soul sister who is similar to me in so many ways. I felt like I’d known her for my entire life. I got to know her a little better than everyone else, and it’s very precious to me," Hayek said in an interview with Elle.
Angelina Shoved Salma's Face On A Cake
The two have become so close that Angie had the honor of shoving Salma’s face on a cake for her 55th birthday.
Hayek explained that this is a Mexican tradition called ‘Mordida’. On her appearance at Jimmy Kimmel Live, Salma shared how Angie took part in the tradition.
“We were starting, ‘Mordida!’ She’s like, ‘What’s happening?’” Hayek said Jolie was hesitant to shove her face on the cake but then, “She got over [it].”
Eternals Getting Unfavorable Reviews
While Salma and Angie have been getting along well, Eternals seems to be struggling with the movie critics. It has been getting unfavorable reviews from the critics and also being review bombed, even before its official release.
The film is now the lowest-rated Marvel movie on Rotten Tomatoes, with a rating of 60%.
The Eternals is scheduled to be released in theaters for the general public in November 5, 2021.
