"Nearly Killed Me": Salma Hayek Reveals Harrowing Incident During 'Magic Mike Last Dance' Sequence With Channing Tatum

Actress Salma Hayek has made quite a revelation! The decorated actress has opened on how her co-star Channing Tatum "nearly killed" her during the rehearsals for 'Magic Mike Last Dance'. During the routine, a wild lap dance went wrong, and the stunt saw Salma Hayek being flipped upside down. Tatum had to eventually hold onto Hayek's pants to save her.

Hayek ended up being worried about a wardrobe malfunction, and hence the entire sequence went wrong. 

“You know, there’s one part that’s not in [the film] where I’m upside down and my legs had to be somewhere. But upside down, one loses sense of direction, and I didn’t do what I was supposed to do, so in the rehearsal, I went like, head down, almost hit my head," Hayek told Jimmy Kimmel, as per Variety. 

“[Channing] held on to my pants, but I was really concerned because my pants were going away, and I couldn’t remember if I had underwear or not in this moment. So, instead of putting my hands to protect my head, I just held onto the pants. He’s like, ‘Put your hands up,’ and I’m like, No, no, no, no," she added.

Talking about the same, Hayek said: "Everybody came in and kind of took me away from him, and he said, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ I said, ‘What’s wrong with me? You nearly killed me!'”

'Magic Mike's Last Dance' is an upcoming comedy-drama film directed by Steven Soderbergh and produced by Channing Tatum. It is a sequel to 2015's 'Magic Mike XXL' and the movie is the third and final installment in the 'Magic Mike' trilogy. 

'Magic Mike's Last Dance' is slated to be released in the United States on February 10, 2023.
